Grading opinions: What do you think this Bobby Hull rookie card will grade? POPPAGE :)

I got this signed Bobby Hull rookie card for my collection, and just got it in today. What do you think this would grade (card grade, not auto grade)?

PSA 5 MK. Nice card! Congrats!

The card is a gorgeous PSA 5, but subbing it through PSA/DNA, I would not be surprised to see it get a PSA 6. It seems they're a little more lenient with regard to grading cards that have been autographed. I don't know whether this is intentional or not, but it is appreciable based upon my personal experience.

Thanks for the opinions so far. I do agree that they do seem a little more lenient on auto cards. Anyone know what VCP is on a 5 and 6? Just trying to determine how I did pricewise with my purchase.

Under a grand and you're in like Flynn! I'm guessing you paid between $500-750 and if that's the case, you're golden.

I would guess PSA 5 to 5.5. That is a very nicely centered Hull rookie. No matter what the grade its a beautiful card.

Thanks, but it would've worked better if I capitalized it... Glad someone noticed.

6 isn't out of the question at all

Solid 5.5 with a great chance at 6. Outstanding example of Bobby Hull RC.

Nice looking card. I would say a 6

Mike ... I'd say an EZ 5 with a chance at a 6. Get that baby in a SLAB!

I think I am going to be sending some in on the January $10.00 PSA/DNA special.

RE: The special ... Can you designate some cards to be graded "Authentic" and others to get a grade on the same submission form? I THINK you can but I am not 100% positive.

The January Special is obviously RED FLIP, right?????

Y'all were pretty good with your estimates. Just got poppage about half an hour ago.

I was hoping for at least a 5 so I'm extremely satisfied with the result. The upper right corner probably kept it from a 6. I think it's in the right holder at a 5.5, good job PSA.

I am so jealous, that card is sick! I have a feeling you made out like a bandit on that one.

That is a great looking card, congrats!

Where did you ever find a raw copy that nice?

John and Matthew,

It came from Classic Collectibles in Quebec, Canada. Board member HockeyAutoCollector (Sean) had seen that I had needed it, and he graciously picked it up for me and allowed me to buy it when it was good for me. A great gesture on his part, and an awesome card. It was a little over $600.00. There are so many good people on this board willing to help. A lot of times we only read about the stuff gone bad, but I can personally attest that there's some good people on CU.

Mike,

Great card of a hockey legend, it looks like you could get at least 1k on ebay for it as this card got $1,100 and is in bad shape:

Hull Rookie

HockeyAutoCollector

Mike,

I am glad to see everything worked out with the Hull. It was a great looking Hull when I saw it and I am sure it will look even better when you get it back from PSA! Happy to help you add it to your collection.
