Opinions, worthy of bump?

This card was offered to me as a PSA 9 and while I have a 9 already....the only flaw is centering T/B. It looks close to 60/40 to me....what do you think?

Price is a little high for a 9, but maybe worth a shot (I have about 7 cards that need a review anyway so I've been looking for a few to fill out a 10 card sub to hit the minimum).

Thanks, Mike

By my pixel count, I get 17/13 T/B and 23/17...sounds like it might be within 60/40, right?

    I'd say it stays. L/R looks off to me too, but that might just be the scan.

    That would be one ugly 10 with that centering not just T/B but side to side as well..

    I agree it would not be the best 10....but it does fit centering for a 10. color, focus, corners, proper edges, no tilt, lack of print marks....nice card, the only flaw I see is centering. If that centering is within guidlines, why not?

    I know I'm reaching here because the cenetering is worse than 55/45 but better than 60/40.

    Thanks for the opinions

    The centering is off too much left to right & top to bottom. The eye appeal just isn't there.

    edit: It looks like it is cut weird as well.


  • No chance being a rc, maybe if it was a common imo

    Hi Mike,

    Very nice card, but I too have doubts about it winding up in a 10 holder for reasons already mentioned.

    I think it's just too off for the general "eye appeal" of a 10.

    I don't think this will get re-graded as a PSA 10. If it's a 9 right now, then it's going to stay there. The eye-appeal for a PSA 10 just isn't there.

  • I agree with others... I would not over pay for this card just with hopes of it becoming a PSA 10 some day.

    It's 56/44 left to right and 58/42 top to bottom. Definitely not a 10, and might not even stay a 9 upon review.
  • if you submit you may get an 8 lol.
    dont do it man!

    Is the white stuff above the "TW" in twins on the holder or on the card? If it is on the card, it is definately distracting to the eye. That was why I thought it is not a 10....along with the centering and the overall "look" of the surface of the card. But it's YOUR card....so if you want to re-submit, go for it and good luck with it. Keep us posted if you do. image

    I agree with what most have said ... although the card is within the "standards" centering wise, it just does not have the eye appeal to sit inside a PSA "10" slab. JMO, but if I was buying this card I would not pay the "9" price because of the centering.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Thanks everyone....I know I was reaching so it helps to have an objective look at it.....I'm waay to invested in getting a 10 to be objective about it, lol.
