    Love that Jackson Card, Nice!

    Thanks guys. I just checked the Pop report on the Reggie. Right now it's at 1. I'll probably have it up on Ebay in a few weeks, but for now I'm enjoying it.

    I think they were too harsh on the Magic Johnson. Why not a 9?

    Very nice.

    Good for you.

    Red, I want to know the same thing. It looks almost flawless to me. It has a small green print bubble above the basketball, but other than that I can't see anything wrong with it. I guess I need to buy a UV bulb for my Mag-Lite and check the surfaces.

    Good cards to send in on the freebies.

    That's what I was thinking. Magic looks like the nicest card of the bunch. Maybe it's that little fisheye?

    Agreed, but I also think they were lenient on Jackson and McGwire.
  • tarheelsnipetarheelsnipe Posts: 93
    nam, I was expecting a 7 max on the Reggie. The 7.5 was a pleasant surprise. On the McGwire I didn't notice the tilt until I scanned it in. I gave it a quick once-over and threw it in the card saver. I might resubmit the Magic if more of you veterans have the same opinion.

    It's funny. These are the first grades to pop and be scanned for us in awhile where I think pretty much everything was graded appropriately.

    Great looking cards.

    The two things that I notice are that the McGwire also has a lot of "snow." They won't hit you as hard for the tilt as they will for the PD. It's fairly graded at a PSA 7. The Magic Johnson also appears to have a hit to the lower right corner and the lower left seems to "hang" a bit. The green "fisheye" wouldn't be enough to drop the card to a PSA 8. Heck, I've seen PSA 9's and PSA 10's with worse "eyes" than that. If the bottom corners are better than they appear, then it's a definite crackout candidate, although I'm not sure how much upside there is versus the cost of resubmitting. I'm guilty of having little clue with regard to basketball prices and I'm too lazy to look it up.

    Nice sub, I too like the Reggie.

    At first glance, that Magic card definitely looks undergraded. Double check that bottom right corner to see if there is a slight ding - that looks to me to be the only place where there might be a potential flaw.

    collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.

    looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started

  • tarheelsnipetarheelsnipe Posts: 93
    Here is the Magic with a black background. Thought this might set off the border better. Also included a scan of the back. Thanks again for all the honest replies.

    otwcards, I think the price difference is only about $20-$30. Nothing too outrageous. This set seems to be on fire right now. That's one of the main reasons I sent it in.

    Edit: All, I noticed that some of the pics in other threads have the PSA serial number blacked out. Should I do this in the future? Thanks.

    Ok, yeah, that white on the lower right makes the difference. Still, I think the centering is unimprovable.

    Kevin,

    Blacked out Cert numbers prevent swindling sellers from using them in their fraudulent auctions.

    Usually the higher ticket card certs are used, but I've seen lower ones too.

    It's your call ....

    Personally, I never black 'em out.
