    I give it a 7.5. Nice card.

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    The bottom right corner worries me more than the rough cut. Unless it's just the scan playing tricks, it may be enough to keep it out of a PSA 7 holder. Fine looking card nonetheless.

    I agree

    yup, you're seeing it correctly....there is a triangular touch of wear which is visible at the front, but not the reverse....i can live with that, doesn't strike down the eye appeal, so i'll give it at least one try.

    Very nice looking card with very white borders. I also like the white backs better than the gray backs. Not sure I like the lower inch or so on the left side rough cut, although it may be the scanner.

    Incredible condition raw card for being 55 years old. Luv the small pic pose. Strong centering both sides. I have no prob w/ the ruff cut. More concerned w/ the corner touches bottom front and the light toning on the top rear border from Aparicio to White. Appears darker than the entire bottom border. Could keep it out of a seven holder. Sometimes, high resolution scans exagerate minor flaws. I go at least 6.5. But, definitely a keeper! Congrats on a nice score!

    Is it just me, or is this an extremely rare white back variation? Looks white to me.
