The actual card is sharper than the picture, Image shack did not do a very good job for me

I have had ZERO success with getting fair grades on the '75s regulars or minis when it comes to anything above an 8. Looks like you have some snow. Good luck if you send it in!

I think it will stay an 8 for the following reasons:

Blue bar on top
Touch of white on top left corner
Black smudge on top left
Snow on front in hair

None, I'm sorry to say...centering is within standards for a 9, but the snow and the print line on top coupled with the black mark will keep it in an 8 holder (or maybe a 9PD, but I'd rather have the straight 8).

I think your right on that Tim although I have seen a Tommy Davis with the blue line in a 9 holder

If that were the only issue, I'd say you have a shot, but the snow is what really keeps it in an 8 holder, imo...
