    that's a really sweet card. I'd say outside chance of a 9. Most likely an 8 due to the touch on the top right corner. Assuming the back is as nice as the front.

    I'd say an 8; corners are nice but not razor sharp, but centering is excellent for 1975.

    The 8.5 grade should have been built for a card just like this.

    Superb centering. image

    I concur with Neil. Don't be surprised when it comes back a PSA 8, and if it gets an 8.5 or 9, show us the scan and we can all lift a glass and celebrate with you!!!

    If it was a common card, I'd say that you have a great shot at a 9, but I feel they grade the star cards a bit more conservatively, so I'm going to also say 8.5. Beautiful card.

    I'd say a shot at the 8.5 but Grote is correct. It is a very sweet card!

    Stangrider,

    Did you pull this Brett from that mini box you bought? Did you buy it from Steve?

    Yeah it was from the box I got from Steve. I also pulled 2 younts one was centered very nicely but has a surface indentationimage Pulled some solid commons, as well as the normal extremely OC cards that get mixed in.

    I'm with Neil.

    Think 8 and be pleasantly surprised.

    Does the upper right corner have any paper loss on the direct corner? Hard to see fer sure - if not? I'm thinking 8.5 to 9.

    And everything I've said is just a guess - I stink this.

    I agree with the comment about how they grade commons and stars. Probably will receive an 8, but IMO it deserves better.

    I had some N1's in my last sub that were from packs from an impeccable source. They will be going back. That Brett is about as good as it gets. 9 or better. If that's an 8...that's ridiculous.

    If you call PSA before they ship the card back they will usually give it a second look

    Results of second sub to PSA:

    N1 evidence of trimming

    Unbelievable, 2 times in a row and I pulled this from a pack myself. Looks like I'll have to give BGS a shot at this point. I'll give the card another close look with a loupe. Has anyone ever had something like this happen to them and eventually get the card slabbed?

    That sucks. Since it's not a registry card, I would go with SGC or BVG at this point. At least they won't reject it without including a brief explanation as to why (meaning they'll tell you which edge(s) they didn't like.)

    Going by VCP, BVG looks like the next best option for resale.

    That's why I stopped submitting cards. Last time I participated in a group sub 3 or 4 of mine came back as trimmed. They were all cards I pulled from packs, one was a ripken rookie. I decided if PSA is that incompetent what's the use in trying.

    Well got back results from BGS today and they slabbed as a 9.0. Happy that if finally got slabbed, just wish it had been in a PSA slab. image Will post scans once received in mail.

    I'm going to just leave it as is in the BVG slab. I'd hate to waste any more $ on trying to cross over and have it rejected.
