My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009.

    6.

    Unless, of course, it is offered by DSL or 4SC . . . then a straight up 10!

    I got hosed and got a 5...image For the life of me I can not find a reason for the 5. I have checked every inch of this card with a loupe and see no wrinkles

    On the reverse from the "A" in play ball to the C in Cincinnati, I see a line. Is that just from the scan?

    You should take the card out and look. I dont imagine a 5 is worth anything in general so no loss.

    Wow, I would have said 8-9 for sure. For it to grade a PSA 5, I'd think there must have been a surface wrinkle of some kind.

    Yeah I agree. I got a 5 on one of my Emmitts and once I busted it out, I found the tiny culprit image

    Maybe the grader is new and took his boss literally when he was told any wrinkle is an automatic 5. Being that Johnny's uni is wrinkled on the right shoulder, I think I found your problemimage

    I am sure that is why this got a 5. Maybe I will see it if I crack it out, but for the life of me I can't find it with my loupe through the case.

    It amazes me how the graders can find these with the naked eye and I can't find it with a loupe. Maybe surface wrinkles on 78 Bench cards are in the same spot and they check that area first.

    I have a '78 Whitaker rookie that I thought was a definite 9...came back a 5 as well.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    That sucks man. It's a real nice card of my favorite player. He is a "God" here in Oklahoma. I pretty much quit watching baseball on a regular basis after he retired. I remembering pulling that card in 1978....it sure doesn't look as good as yours. I would just enjoy the card.

    I have looked at over a thousand of raw 60s and 70s cards lately - all under a bright light and I can usually see every single wrinkle, air bubble, glue fold and blisters. Not hard to do with a naked eye. I only use a loupe for occassional corners.

    Not mentioned scruffs and scratches (with or without tiny paper losses), which may be what you have on the front behind is helmet?

    Bunker,

    Just curious, was this card pulled straight out of a pack? Or acquired raw?

    Tough break...it seems so difficult to pull a star card and when it comes back from PSA like this one did, that smarts! Hopefully, you pulled some Mint low pops to make up fot it...with 70s product, the low pop commons coming back Mint are better than the star cards almost, anyway.
