This card looks sweet in person. I think it may be better than the PSA 8.5 on ebay right now: PSA 8.5 GIVE ME SOME OPINONS EXPERTS!!!!! Thanks in advance.
My main concern about this card is there is there is an awful lot of snow under his right arm, above his shoulders, and above his left arm; not sure if it's enough for PD, but possible.

Thanks for the opinions guys. I agree with the snow. It's funny that it didn't jump out at me at all until I scanned the card. Keep the opinions coming guys, I appreciate it a lot!
Trimmed or diamond cut? I don't know. I would expect same degree of diamond cut top and bottom. I do know I would not crack and submit. Crossover attempt only.
The gaps in the red (left and right side) indicated to me that it was diamond cut seeing that the top edge is flat against the insert. After seeing the bottom in blue, IMO the top or bottom edge may have had a haircut. I'm just saying.
To answer the OP, I think it's a generous 8 with the snow and the crud on his face. I do not think it will cross due to either a miscut or EOT.
Thanks a lot guys! This is why I love this board. I would vomit if I cracked this thing and it came back EOT. I love the unbiased opinions, because we tend to see what we want to see in our own cards. I really do appreciate everyone taking time to chime in.
That Baylor is pretty nice. I've seen 61 Fleers with uneven cuts to the top and bottom borders. It should grade fine. I don't think it's trimmed. I would measure it to make sure it's within range of 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".
As mentioned by wallst32, the slight snow on the front near the bottom might prevent a straight cross to a PSA 8 holder.
For all the reasons cited above, if you sub it and ask for an 8, it well could come back, "didn't meet min. grade." Nothing lost. You'd still have a sharp SGC 88. If you roll the dice and bust it, it could come back, "EOT" or "AUTH." See the problems Bobby had w/ Hagen. Personally, I'd be happier than a pig in slop to have that as it is.

The white on the bottom scares me but it's still a close yes

Card is not squared and doesn't sit properly.
Solid card centered great
to the right from the back scan?
Now....do you think the card is fine and not trimmed?
<< <i>Okay, I'm gonna say it. Diamond cut or trimmed?

Agreed.
Just looks off.
