Finally found a "High End" 8 of a 1964 Mays

The 64 Mays is one of those cards that never looks good even in an 8. It's either dull, slightly o/c, faded badly on the back or surface issues on the front background. Well, I've finally found one that is really strong. It's not perfect; but about the best I've seen in an 8. I think it would crush the 8.5 up on EBAY.

    Tremendous card. Are you going to submit for the .5 increase?

    Brick,
    Yes it will be reviewed in the near future. I have not sent many in for review; but this card needs a chance to be separated from the pack of dull 8's. I've owned a bunch and this is the best by far. The back is nice and really well centered also.

    Is the snow on the card or your scanner?

    Nice card, a couple minor flaws, could bump.

    The reverse on that card IIRC does not have the scratch off question so no problem there.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Good for you.

    Ahkmed,
    Very slight snow. Scanner enhances it.

    Sometimes I forget that the image is 3 times the size of a card.

    Nice card Mickey.

    Nice card Mickey.

    Here's my old '64 Mays. I scanned this with my original HP scanner
    a long time ago. I had this one in my collection for many years, even when it was raw.
    I sold it to my buddy who got it bumped
    to an 8.5. I have no idea where the card is now. I wish I had it back
    in my collection.

    I'll post a scan of mine tomorrow. I purchased it raw about 2-3 yrs. ago... great centering.
