Check out the upper right edge of the card? Is that normal, or did PSA just miss it?

    It looks like it's just a result of the diamond cut.

    To me it looks like the little bumper inside the case is overlapping the card and making it look a little strange.

    Nevermind, just noticed you asked a different question.

    ugh. what an ugly cut.

    i'll never understand the thought process behind calling that a 7 or calling a perfectly centered, crisp gem with a 1cm micro-wrinkle on the back a 5.

    The thought process is that a card with "a perfectly centered, crisp gem WITH a 1cm micro-wrinkle on the back" needs to grade lower than "a perfectly centered, crisp gem WITHOUT a 1cm micro-wrinkle on the back".

    So make it an 8 instead of a 5.

    Like Toro said, it has a diamond cut. (opposite cuts are parallel, but corners are not square)

    If you look at width of white border on L&R and follow it you will see the width change.

    Compared to 59 Mantles in PSA 7---that card is high end. Just a diamond cut with a slight rough top right edge.

    Looks like one of those optical illusions.

    I also like the color. Do you own it or is it listed somewhere?

    It's on Ebay....I am looking for a decently priced, high grade copy...

    the Gibson Rc is a very tough high# card to find perfectly centered,of the eight - PSA 7 that are on ebay now, I would pick this one as # 1 and the one your showing as # 2 even with the diamond cut. JMHO


    Gibson I would pick

    Yeah it is very hard to find centered, I looked for quite awhile and never found one that was fantastic. I settled for this one.

    That's a good looking '7'. I guess centered any better, and it would be an '8'. There are a couple of '8''s in the current Mile High Auction. One by PSA and one by SGC. The SGC one seems to have some centering issues as well.....
