My First "Awesome" Pull - 1975 Cello Rip

nendee

Ok, so I bought 3 cello regular 75 Topps Baseball from Larry Fritsch. I picked one cello that I thought looked decent and set that aside for a potential submit.

I open my first cello - a bit of the usual centering problem on the cards...

Gene Clines
Steve Carlton
Then POW! George Brett
Then a Ryan/Carlton Strikeout leader card!

Should I just stop?
I then spent the next hour trying to figure out how to scan, so here goes.

And edit - I'm now on my second hour, trying to figure out this lam-o ms paint to get the image a decent and not monstorous size.

I think I figured it out, but on the "back" photo, the scanner seems to have trimmed a bit - hopefully this gives a good idea on the card.








Any shot at anything PSA decent? Or are these scans just too poor. Should I bother opening any more cello?

The Brett looks like a PSA 7 to me. Nice pull!

CONGRATS on the Brett! Bottom right corner looks a little weak. Will the slight diamond cut keep it out of a "7" slab????

Nuce pull! Was Brett card in front of Carlton or behind?

I think you have a 7 despite the tilt. Good luck!

I hope I am wrong and you are right!
Good Luck nendee!

Yes, sorry. It went after the gum, a team card, Brett, Carlton. I'm trying to remember if the strikeout leader card was before or after the Brett. I noticed the cards before the gum exhibited some bowing - probably from the cello pressure on the top cards. Thanks guys, I'd love a 7!
