Anyone feel like guessing the grade? - GRADE IS IN!!!!

I subbed my CC membership voucher cards in the same package as my Oct special sub, and they logged the day they arrived.

I may be on to something, at least for one sub a year.

When I get home, I'll post the centerpiece of the voucher sub for your guessing pleasure.

UPDATE: I'm interested in opinions on the grade. I measured this one a bazillion times and it's OK on size. I check the sides for ANY sign of trimming - nada.

UPDATE 10/19: The Mick now resides in a brand-new 8 holder!!!

    Wow! That's quite a speedy trip. I've held off on requesting those 90% vouchers, as they seem like quite a money sink due to return postage if you don't get a bunch of them first.

    the right border looks slightly inward to me, it is probably the scan, but is the card bending at all?

    thanks to my abilities as a stealth Internet spy, i've managed to capture an image from the PSA grading room after they took a look at your scan.....truth of the matter is, they pretty much know what's coming long before it ever lands in Newport Beach.....as much as i would like to support the efforts of the more exuberant graders on the assembly line, i'm afraid i'd be in agreement with the very serious looking old gray-haired dude.....but, best of luck with that. image

    I hope it gets graded but I'm saying it doesn't, if it does PSA 9!

    Psa 7

    Very nice card.

    2.5 is pretty much my speed.
  • JoeBanzaiJoeBanzai Posts: 12,130 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Looks like an 8.5 to me, however the borders look a bit unusual. Might also come back "evid of trim" or "min size" Hope it grades!

    Good luck, the card is beautiful!

    Looks a little diamond-cut and the top right corner looks a little weak.

    That said, still a sharp card.

    I agree with Joe, 8.5 if it doesn't have any issues. Nice card.
  • bkingbking Posts: 3,095 ✭✭
    I didn't bother to check all the sides for straightness other than viewing the scan, but I'm sure the dimensions are fine. Truth be told, I'd be happy with a 7 given what I have in the card, but anything beyond that would certainly make my day.

    The very well proportioned slight tilt tells me it couldn't be trimmed and if the back has decent centering
    and is clean, it should be a 9.

    If it were a common you'd be looking at 8 or above, but my opinion is that since it's Mantle you will probably receive a 7.5

    Nice looking card.

    Looks like an 8.5 to me but if it were mine it would be a 5 due to a hidden surface crease!

    Thanks all. After I get done being excited about the Mick, I'll get a chance to think about the 65 Koufax that was also in the sub and popped higher than I thought image
