    I am sure you could try with little harm but I think a PSA 8 on the Ryan is as high as I would grade it. There is white on all four corners on the back and what looks to be a small stain near the lower left hand side.

    When I don't see four razor sharp corners I don't think a card is mint.


    Good luck either way.

    This is one of those rare cases where I feel like the cards are all graded appropriately but you have a MUCH better chance of improvement than.....what's the word? Debasement?
    Anyways, I'd wait for a <$5 special and send them in! Good luck if you do!
  • Thanks for your opinions guys. I don't think either of the 78s are 9 material, but I wouldn't mind getting both of them bumped to 8.5. The T/B centering on the front of the 78 Schmidt is weak, and the top right corner on the front of the Ryan is too soft for a 9.

    The 86 Schmidt 9 looks fantastic to me. I think its astronomically better than this 10 with terrible registration.

    Yeah, the grades are fitting on all of these; though small, each has edge or corner issues. Though I agree, the Ryan could see the .5 bump...I'd keep it slabbed though.

    The '86's are such a crap shoot. If you sub that card 3-4 times it'll get a 10. The others are pretty accurate IMO.

    Agreed! The schmitty looks worthy.

    IMO they look correctly graded. I would say wait for a Special and resubmit; who knows they might all get bumped. Good luck on whatever you decide.

  • Just got this in the mail today.... if a card with these edges can be a 10, then my 9 posted above should bump EASILY!

    Problem is that the PSA 10 is not really a 10, for anyone that looks at the card instead of the label. The label is the only thing telling you that card is gem mint.

    Maybe it's just the scan, but to me on the PSA 9 Schmidt, there seems to be a "tilt" to the printing on the card. For example, there seems to be more white border between the bottom of the card and the "T" in Schmidt than between the bottom of the card and the "M" in Mike.

    Same is true at the top with "Phillies".

    You're absolutely correct. It's a two-pixel difference on a 300dpi scan. This is so negligible it should not prevent the card from being a 10. The overall centering is still well within 10 requirements.
