Look at My JIMMY ! (Grade these Jim Brown Rookies)

Allen · February 19, 2008 8:49AM

Ok so I have two Jim Brown rookies, they were both prisoned in PSA slabs at one point where they wore silly African bead hats and read the Koran. I fought to get them liberated by the justice system and a screwdriver.

Now I ask you guys; What do you think they were graded? Which one do you like better (which one should I keep)?

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Option 3: Sell both and buy an African bead hat.

nam812 · February 19, 2008 8:52AM

Exhibit A - PSA 5.
Exhibit B - PSA 4.

The top one is a 5 and the bottom one a 4. I'd keep the bottom one based on the coloring.

CDsNuts · February 19, 2008 9:10AM

I like the top one better.

OAKESY25 · February 19, 2008 9:19AM

Top= 6
Bottom= 5

Keep the top, no doubt.

70chip · February 19, 2008 10:19AM

I'll guess on the optimistic side and say....7 and 5

earlycalguy · February 19, 2008 10:22AM

5 top[
4 bottom

I like the bottom one better though

bigfische · February 19, 2008 11:25AM

i like the top one better.

DrJ · February 19, 2008 11:28AM

Jim Brown has turned into a ranter, but I would still like to own his Rookie card.

I would go:

A -- PSA 4.5
B-- PSA 3.5

1960toppsguy · February 19, 2008 11:32AM

A= PSA-5
B= PSA-3 maybe PSA-2

Ahmanfan · February 19, 2008 12:15PM

want to sell either?

HighChopper · February 19, 2008 12:18PM

5
3

envoy98 · February 19, 2008 1:06PM

Personally I'd guess PSA 5 on both but what do I know.

I like the registration of the top one better, but I am a big fan of the outside being a dark black and not washed out. Not to mention centering is so obvious on this card that the better centered the card, the more flaws it can hide. That being said, I like the bottom one better, even though the top one has nicer corners.

AlmostPerfect · February 19, 2008 1:35PM

5, 6

Bottom one for me.

Allen · February 19, 2008 1:53PM

Nobody has guessed the grades correct yet. I will tell what they are tomorrow.

OAKESY25 · February 19, 2008 2:00PM

come on!!!!!!!

BobaFett72 · February 19, 2008 3:07PM

as always, i agree with Nick :0)

CDsNuts · February 19, 2008 11:20PM

How about 6 and 6.

kidzfund · February 19, 2008 11:33PM

My guess is 7 and 6

CDsNuts · February 19, 2008 11:34PM

Maybe 5 and 5.

shagrotn77 · February 19, 2008 11:45PM

6
5

clydecoolidge · February 20, 2008 2:02AM

How 'bout 8 and 6

CDsNuts · February 20, 2008 2:12AM

Purple and Triangle

TomGshotput · February 20, 2008 2:22AM

four and four o sea

Allen · February 20, 2008 4:15AM

TomGshotput- good answer. Both of these cards were graded PSA 4.

Lee- Purple and Triangle is the answer to what base design and color am I going to use for my African bead hat.

CDsNuts · February 20, 2008 4:18AM

Are you also gonna star in "I'm gonna get you sucka 2"?

Ahmanfan · February 20, 2008 6:51AM

sell 1? or are you hoarding them and jordan rookies? =-)

OAKESY25 · February 20, 2008 7:06AM

not sure which one I like better... maybe the top...
which way you leanin?

larryallen73 · February 20, 2008 7:10AM

I can't believe that top one was a 4. Looks nice to me. Of course, I am usually disappointed by my grades!

WinPitcher · February 20, 2008 7:16AM

4 and 4? I could see that. From the scan i gave them the benefit of the doubt and said 5 and 5.

Steve

Allen · February 20, 2008 7:25AM

I don't know which one I will keep. I change my mind every time I look at them. The one on top is much cleaner, but the bottom one is brighter with better registration, but a small print defect on Jim's nose. I really like the first one, it just his face is out of focus a bit. Is it that hard to find one of these that you can see his face ? haha

OAKESY25 · February 20, 2008 7:28AM

cant go wrong with a jim brown rookie.. keep em both...
