I just can't see how this carded graded a 9. It looks like a 7 to me, what do you guys think. Also, I know that is a older flip, but how old? I had some psa 8 1971 Baseball back in 2002 with the same flip that were absolutely beautiful. Hell, if this is a 9 the 8's I had should have been 9's. Shouldn't a psa 9 have razor sharp corners and edges?

    I guess that's one you wouldn't want to re-sub. I agree with you on the edges and corners. Who knows what they're looking at sometimes when they are grading. Nice fisheye on the Docs left elbow too. It's a nicely centered card.

    I am pretty sure that fish eye is on every Dr. J rookie...........

    Nice card, IMO the grade fits. But I like the roughcuts, alot.

    Looks okay to me too. Fisheye on his elbow is on many, not all, DR. J rookies. I too like rough cuts, but they look out of place on '72 Topps cards.

    By the font of the holder, looks to have been graded around 1998-2000 to me.

    Not the best looking 9, but still passable.

    As cards are handled,
    their edges tend to become smoother.

    So rough cuts are actually a sign of mintyness ...

    I know that rough cuts are acceptable, but I was looking more at the corners especially the bottom left (looks slightly dinged) and the top right and bottom left (look touched). I guess I am really picky....you guys are lucky I'm not a grader if you think it's passable....lol image

    AGREED

    On a Joe Schmoe sub this would have gotten a 8 all day

    It's from MOSH's tax sale... Surely not subbed by MOSH, but purchased via the secondary market. It's not the worst PSA 9 I've seen, but it's far from the best. I'm sure it also looks a little better at normal size rather than increased and pixellated magnification.

    It has rough edges, but I still think it passes as a PSA 9. The fisheye bothers me more than anything else and because of that I would not pay a PSA 9 price for it.

    Looks like a 7 at best to me. Rough cuts look horrible to me.
