Think this could be a straight 7?

    You have the card in hand so i assume you are just asking about the centering? If so and the corners warrant it I think that maybe you have a shot.


    The centering appears to my eye to be within the guidelines.

    PSA 6, IMO.
  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092 ✭
    Yes, I do have the card in hand. I'm out of practice when it comes to vintage, so I wanted to get everybody's take.

    Lee:

    Here's a PSA 6; seems like yours would be at least a 6.

    And, here's a PSA 5. Yours is better, IMHO.

    Centering is good enough just have to worry about the corners.

    nevermind......

    yes I agree it is not a 5 by any means. It has a shot at 7 if the corners are all there.

    Nice card, Lee. In my entirely uneducated opinion I would venture that it would grade as a 6. But you (and everyone else here) are a much better judge than me.

    Sorry Chris, I actually just bought it for my collection. They pop up on ebay every now and then in decent shape.

    Nice card, looks like a 6 from here for sure, outside shot at 7.
  • mealewormmealeworm Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭
    Corners look 7ish, but that chip or dent in the left border might hurt. The centering is in line for a 7 as well. That card looks alot like the few I have owned. It is a very dull card almost lacking any gloss. I have been drilled submitting 57's without much gloss.
    Good luck and I would think a 6 or 7 on a good day.

    I just pulled the PSA-6 that I own and the corners on yours along with the centering are both better than mine.

    Lee- great card I think it's probably a 6 but maybe you will get that 7. either way a great looking card. Raw on ebay? what did it cost ya?

    here is mine, I have been wondering what it will grade as well (note the stains on the back):

    Don't mean to hijack your thread Lee, but I figured if there was ever an appropriate thread to tag along on, this was it. good luck with the card- John

    Some of you do realize that the card meets the centering guidelines of a PSA 9? I got 63/37 at worse, what do you get if you think centering is suspect????????

    Having hundreds of 1957 PSA 6 and 7, I would say this would get a PSA 6 based on the lower left corner plus one other corner that is soft. If three corners were good, then it would have an outside shot at a 7.

    That's a tweener for sure. More often than not, though, I think you're looking at a 6.
  • bifff257bifff257 Posts: 751 ✭✭

    Nice card, and I think it does have a shot at 7!
  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092 ✭

    I got it from another board member and I thought it was a little overgraded and looked like a solid 6. I wanted to see if you all agreed and for the most part the consensus (6 with a shot at 7 on a good day) was right on. I decided to free it from its plastic coffin and stick in the personal collection.
