I have wanted this card in this grade for a long time. I finally was able to find a card that was free of any surface blemishes with strong corners. I sacraficed some centering to pull it off, but I am so pleased with this card in hand. Thanks for letting me share!

So give us some background. Did you send it in or did you purchase already slabbed. Give us the scoop.
Nice pickup.

WOW!!! That is one beautiful card. I don't think the centering takes away from the eye appeal of that card at all.
Congrats on catching that whale.

Thanks Guys, I appreciate it. Bought it slabbed from Memory Lane. I was actually shocked they worked with me on it as much as they did. I really like to purchase at or around VCP, and was able to do so with card.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Great pickup. Congrats on the new toy.

now, i see that its the old flip from back when there were no half point grades. that has me (at least) wondering, is it possibly an 8.5?
Think about it. Throw the "well they always look at centering" out the window.
When it was graded it was too good for a PSA 7, but not at a PSA 9
something to think about.

oh man, as a mid-grade lover, it makes me weep that you cracked that out of a perfectly good slab!

Eric, Don't worry, I cracked it out of a PSA Authentic/Alterred Slab. I am guessing the crease on the card in the lower right corner has been pressed.
