edit: CFL cards were collected obviously, mostly in Canada, plus the combination of being a "condition sensitive" O-Pee-Chee (OPC) and add the fact that most Canadian collectors of these cards have not slabbed (PSA or otherwise) CFL/OPC vintage football cards.
This card was the only '71 CFL to receive a PSA 10!

I think this thread should just be renamed "Bob's Collection." LOL..
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
is it me or does that left edge not look straight >>
sometimes a scan just looks that way, here's a similar scan: (but it does look weird to me, now that you mentioned it! I sold & retired my #1 '76 set registry some years back, and I do not recall if this card had those issues? Sure does look strange!)
Bob, do you still have these cards? I recall that you had sold off virtually your entire collection on ebay a couple years back..

Yes, most are gone, just posting a few remaining scans left in my photobucket album. It just gives me "a buzz" seeing some of them again, and I enjoy sharing here, as I'm sure some CU members will enjoy seeing a variety of 9s & 10s, from me and everyone else!
I've still been selling-off stuff on "fee-bay" over the past months.
<< <i>Goes to show how incredibly tough the 76 Brett is - every 9 I've seen has enough flaws to bring it down to an 8 on a different day >>
I have never seen one that was not tilted somewhat or free of print problems. Somewhere on planet Earth is a case or 2 that has gem mint examples of this card..

76 Brett was a tough one for me, early on, when building my #1 1976 PSA set, there was "a ton" of low pop PSA 9s, that seldom showed-up in the market place.
Other '76s that took me years to locate in PSA 9 were: Rennie Stennett, Joe Torre, Al Cowens, Ramon Hernandez, Lee Lacy, to name a few.
Over the years, I searched, in vein to upgrade to PSA 10s for these: Philo Niekro, Rollie Fingers, Joe Torre, Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt, Catfish Hunter, Jim Rice, Greg Luzinski, The "Eck man", and of course the impossible one, George Brett!
