    They don't seem to harsh when it comes to factory printing ink stains.

    Does anyone know if that is common on that card? A couple of cards that come to mind are the 78 Brett and the 81 Bench. Both are plauged with factory print issues that PSA doesn't seem to penalize for. Maybe that blue stain is "par for the course"?

    no qualifiers could have been requested and grade or 2 deducted for the printing flaw.


    Thanks,

    Oh ... that's right, it doesn't ... according to SGC's scale it rates a 7.5! image

    That Payton is ugly! Not Walter himself mind you, but the card. What is the pixel count where the tilt is the worst, 85-15? Ouch.

    Here is one of my own for you, sgccop.

    How does this grade a 7.5?

    Not bad right? I was thinking it looked like a good chance to cross to a PSA 8 when I bought it. BUT THEN I LOOKED AT THE BACK...

    oh here we go again.....can't I ask a simple question without turning this into a comparison thing? I was simply looking at 60 Topps that were cheap enough and that I could consider cracking out of the slab when I came upon this one.

    Why does this have to turn into a PSA vs. SGC thing?

    I've seen many vintage cards with that blue ink bleed on them, reach grades of 7, 8, and 9. It's all depends on the severity of the bleed. This is especially true of 1961 Topps Football cards. I don't think it's that uncommon to see high grades with this minor ink bleed. If you don't like it on your PSA 7 or higher graded cards, then don't buy them.

    That SGC miscut YAZ back doesn't really bother me either, since it's not missing any wording from the back of the card. A 7.5 grade seems to be accurate in my grading opinion. What I don't like is seeing cards graded 9 or 96 with that problem.

    I have a 60 Musial PSA 8 with a blue stain on it.
