How is this a psa 7

i don't usually cry about grades.. but i really thought this was a 9 with a shot at a 10. what am i missing.. the back is just as clean as the front.. no fish eyes and zero wear on the corners.. Do they really grad this card that tough that this got a 7 due to centering??

    Judging from the scans it seems there is a huge White blob on the entire card. Should be a 1
  • Centering appears to be a tad off in both directions. Combine that with the Ripken conspiracy and you get a 7.
  • Its hard to tell why its a 7 from the pictures you took. Maybe if you used a scanner we would have a better view of the card.

    You can compare your 7 to this psa 9 I have

    (White specs are from my dirty scanner not on the card...)

    If the grade don't fit you must resubmit!

    Judging from scan #3, there's a line or a scratch running diaganally across Cal's lips.

    Looks like something running across Cal's face
    Which, on this card, is the worst place for a print mark

    twiley, you're really lucky to have a 9 on this one... that is some bad double-registration! You see how the photos are overlapping the black borders? It's hard to spot at first, but once you see it, it smacks you in the face.

    As for the PSA 7, I agree with everything Bill said. He would know first hand!
