Possible Bump Cards...... What do you think?

Mickey71

I will add to this periodically. Looking for opinions on bump potential. I think this will be fun and some nice stuff to look at. I will start off with the recent birthday guy.

Good chance. A few print dots and a little white on the lower right corner, but I'd say it has a solid chance.

I think wierd white mark/print dot on middle left edge might keep it, very striking card otherwise, the lower right dot doesn't bother me as much

I didn't even see the mark along the left edge - good catch. My thinking on the two lower-right dots were that they are in the worst possible places - the sig and the name - making them more noticeable than they should be.

I would say no for the following reasons:

a. Lower-right corner
b. White mark on the left edge to the left and a bit above Hank's hat brim
c. Mark/stain in the yellow below the first "E" in "Brewers"
d. Black line in the red on the right-hand side, just below the border between red/yellow
e. Not sure if it's actually on the card, but the white mark in the "N" of "AARON" at the bottom
f. White dot in the signature

I say no chance for a bump on the Aaron... touches on every corner plus the left border issue.

i thought white in sig and name are on scanner?

Nice looking card with terrific centering. The only problems I see are the print marks already mentioned. It has a shot, but far from a sure thing.

Good luck if you decide to go for it...Donato

Real nice looking card ... LOVE the centering. I originally thought the corners keep the card right where it is. Now looking at the other marks on the card, I say it definitely stays in an "8".. I HOPE I AM WRONG!

Try it whats the worse that can happen. EOT

i think the '64 Aaron deserves a shot, first impression tells me that card should be in a PSA 8 holder.....as for the other Aarons, i think they're appropriately graded and i'm particularly impressed with the '59, very strong....let's see some more.

leadoff4

'69 Aaron looks the strongest to me. Very sharp.

WinPitcher

Pitts I don't think EOT is possible, Mickey is talking about the review service.


Right Mickey?

Mickey71

Steve,
Yes, I won't be cracking these out. If sent in....it would be review.

While I don't see any issues with that 64, I have to disagree on it bumping. If we follow the PSA statements on .5's, we're led to believe this card must be a 7 with one compelling characteristic that bumps it a half grade. So, unless the original issues that led to the "7 plus one feature" grade are missed the next time around, id' suspect it stays.

However, it's only money to give it a try.

I would try all but the 59 Aaron. I would also crack them out but that's just the gambler in me.

Piggs

I would say the '64 and '69 have the best shot with the '59 a close third. The '75 is probably as far as it will go. Doug

like i said, first impression.....to render a complete opinion on the card, i would need to examine the complete card.....i do agree with you about the compelling nature of the .5 grade more or less setting the bar as it relates to a review....i think in this particular situation, i personally would take a shot at cracking and sending the card in raw for the PSA 8, assuming of course, that the worst i could do is get it back into the 7.5 holder....could be classified as a gamble, i guess.

that's how i'd do it.

I really like the centering on the 1959. It is a shade favoring the bottom, but I prefer that instead of side to side off-centering.....

I also liked the sanned images..I am guessing that is an Epson?

Mickey71

Yes it's an EPSON.

The 64 appears to be really harshly graded.

leadoff4

Does the '64 have some slight discoloring across the top border?

WinPitcher

Also, does the 64 have some ink/print lines between the A and R in Aaron?

MBMiller25

I think the Aaron 64 definately bumps. That's a nice card!

bobbyw8469

The '64 has some print lines between the a & r....or is that just scratches on the case?

The '69 has a pretty noticeable tilt to it.

Pretty sure those are scratches on the case

lwehlers

i also agree the 64 and 69 are the best cards to get a second look.

mealeworm

It is hard to tell even from the great scans you provided, but I like the 64 only.

The 75 is a great looking card but no bump. I sure could use it for my Aaron set.

The 59 would be my 2nd choice.

The 69 is the least likely.
