1963 experts does this Clemente have a shot at an 8 ?

Recently crossed over to a SGC 84, but I think this card is better than a "7". Worth subbing to PSA for a shot at an 8 ? Your input is appreciated -Chris

    Doubtful.

    Looks like that bottom right corner will keep it a 7.

    front to back damage on corners will almost never result in grades over a 7

    This is just my opine - but I think it's a really nice 7. The corners show some wear on the back and the lower right corner keeps it in the solid 7 range IMO.

    I think that's a really nice Clemente and well centered.

    I wouldn't crack it out anyway because of the top right corner on the front.

    Great looking card no matter what. Great centering, color. Over all a really nice card.

    Thanks for your input. Probably was a "shoebox" card with the bottom corner damage. I am perfectly happy with the card for my pc, and I got it for a good deal at the time.

    You may be able to get a 7.5 with that great centering, but I don't think it has a chance at an 8 with the touched corners and the white mark on the blue area next to "BOB".

    I agree great centering... I could see that card in a 7.5 holder. If you are not looking to sell it I think it looks great were it is and not worth sending it to PSA.

    That's got to be my all-time favorite Roberto card!

    Nice one, but I agree, probably not 8-material...

    Awesome looking card ... but the right corners, especially the bottom right, will keep it out of an "8" holder. Hope I am wrong.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    That's an 8 except for the big print mark on it. Nice card tho!
