    It's definitely not a 10. I have spent a lot of time and money on grading this set in the past, and I can definitely say - this set drove me nuts. Centering is a major issue, and cards that I thought were 10's all day long, would come back 9's. And, cards I thought were 9's would often come back as worthless 8's. The white borders also show chipping, but you need a loupe to often see it.

    It's just a guess, but your card looks like an 8 to me.

    I agree with Grote. That is if the corners are 9 worthy. Frank

    Hey I am thinking an 8 or 9. I have graded many of these in the past. Depends on the mood of the grader, too. But the cornering is just not Gem Mint worthy. I sent in my "tens" and got tons of 9s back. VERY VERY difficult set to complete in gem mint.

    Do you guys really think this card is off centered?

    If it grades OC, it'll be because of the T/B centering, IMO. I've submitted a bunch of 79s over the past few months, and that's beem my experience, though you may get lucky. It'll definitely grade a straight 8, but PSA likes to hand out that 9OC on the 79s, a real tough set whose value does not reflect its difficulty,
