raw 78 Topps #36 Murray rookie - PSA 8 or only 7?

CrazyMind2017

Picked this up at a show a few weeks back... didn't notice the chipping until I got home. Paid PSA 8 money for it ($40). Did I pay too much?

Centering couldn't be better, but two corners are less than perfect and some edge chipping. Back is centered as good as the front and looks fine. Will this come back as an 8?

Very nice 7.

Scanning against a dark background helps.
But it looks like it could get an 8

VCP average is $39.62 for a PSA 8. You might have paid a bit much for it raw. A 7 averages just over 16 bucks

It's a sweet card, could be 7, 7.5, or 8.

Centering is real nice for that card, but I don't think it has a chance to come back an "8". IMO the chipping really distracts from the card (and as you said, a couple of the corners are soft). My guess, and I hope I am wrong, is a "7" at best.

To answer your question yes you paid too much. But it's not like you bought a very expensive card, so don't let $20-$25 bother you. Enjoy the card.

Scan with the lid open and lights off(in room).....Nice card

nicely centered, but too much border chipping; sadly you overpaid a bit.

CrazyMind2017

Had to scan with the lid closed because it was day time. I got a good scan at higher resolution.



The little diagonal line under the first O is an indentation, not the fault of the scanner. I actually just cleaned both sides of the glass on this scanner less than two weeks ago. This card isn't really in good shape.

Looks like a 7, maybe 7.5

I think you will get an 8.

Nice card. I thinking 7.5; only due to the rough edge look. Good luck on getting an 8.

Great centering! send it in anyway, maybe you'll get the 8

Hey TBP, did you see the signed baseball I sold on feebay? Someone gave me $20 for it! Guy paid fast too, LOL.

Do you guys think this Murray card would sell for more raw or in a PSA 7 holder?

More raw if you sold it under the name of waverly and described it as pack fresh and minty. It might help to put a little whiteout on the chipping and be sure to mention your savior in the item description!

Sell the Murray raw with the good scans that you've posted in this thread. do not suggest ANY grade in your listing,
just stick to the basics
