    That is awesome. What great centering! Great value, when considering what a solid 9 would cost.

    Edit: It slaughters the few 8s I saw at a show today. Really looks like a 9 compared to the 8s I saw.

    Sweet Card! A 1978 Rose was my first card I ever got. A kid at school gave it to me in the 6th grade. Wish I still had it.

    I have to agree with everyone else.....that is one beautiful Rose. Do you think the L to R centering kept it out of a 9 holder?

    That is awesome!!!!

    Lots of PSA 8's running around but a PSA 8.5 is really sweet!!!

    Nice work!!

    << <i>Do you think the L to R centering kept it out of a 9 holder? >>



    My guess is the business going on with the top left edge/corner is what kept it out of a 9 holder.
    Absolutely stunning card, though. That would be a centerpiece of most any collection!

    This bad boy is a touch off centered with razor sharp corners and edges. That is why it is not in a PSA 9 holder.

    Big time card you got here!!!
  • judgebuckjudgebuck Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭
    That is one nice key card!!!

    Always looking for Mantle cards such as Stahl Meyer, 1954 Dan Dee, 1959 Bazooka, 1960 Post, 1952 Star Cal Decal, 1952 Tip Top Bread Labels, 1953-54 Briggs Meat, and other Topps, Bowman, and oddball Mantles.

    Very nice card. I say keep it!!!
  • mexpo75mexpo75 Posts: 1,938 ✭✭✭✭
    Don't know what happened on my last reply. What I meant to say was it means a lot to me to get the nice comments from you guys. I also meant to say that if I go ahead and flip the card, that I do not think I would be able to replace it. Thanks again.
