Since everyone liked the Jordan rookie card game, I was hoping to get some opinions on this sweet Jim Brown rookie card.....First guess that hits on the head wins 50 CS1's from me!

    Looks like a 6 to me. What's a CS1?

    PSA 6 if real...that being said I think questionable authenticity or altered given the whiteness of the borders etc., maybe it's just the picture but it just looks too clean for the issue.

    5.5-6 I agree, it is a nice card!

    But my actual guess for the CS1's which I need very badly is a 6.5!

    5 or 6 looks like the one I just submitted.Hope it comes back as such.My surface probably hurt it to a 4.5.

    6.5.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I would guess 6,and as a side note-I WANT IT!Very nice Brown if not altered.

    4.5, only because there is no winner yet and it has not been guessed. Looks like a 5
  • GarabaldiGarabaldi Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭
    PSA 6 looks fair to me.
  • olb31olb31 Posts: 3,497 ✭✭✭✭✭
    It won't grade. miscut or trimmed.image

    << <i>PSA 10 >>



    Wishful thinking Hook'em.......I have the card in hand, and I was thinking 5-6. It is such a tough issue to grade for me. I have seen ugly cards with bad centering get good grades, so I am not certain what the graders are looking at exactly in determining the grade for this card.
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,388 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Ill say 6.5 if the top left didnt look like it had that dint Id say 7.5 Very clean image and nice color. Very clean card with good centering.
    And Im guessing the back has no issues

    Will do Raiders....but I actually bought it for my Jim Brown basic set. The JB basic set is only around 8-9 cards, and it is something I can tackle with relative ease. I have tried to build complete sets before (1955 Bowman baseball comes to mind), but the sheer number of cards coupled with the fact that I have A.D.D. made it impossible to complete - so I have to stick with sets of small numbers!

    << <i>And Im guessing the back has no issues >>



    No...the back is clean. Puzzle unscratched.

    4.5
  • thunderdanthunderdan Posts: 3,036 ✭✭✭
    Bobby, I think it's a 5. A nice 5, I might add.

  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,388 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Then I will say its a 6.5 with a clean back
  • bobbyw8469bobbyw8469 Posts: 7,139 ✭✭✭
    We shall see.......it is valued a little too high to send under one of these specials going on, and I don't want to pay the $35 to get it graded by itself under express......I will have to figure out how I can get it graded without spending too much...



    << <i>What's a CS1? >>



    A CS1 is a also called a CARD SAVER. It is what raw card submitters need to put their cards into to submit to PSA. They should be a staple in 99% of the board members supply.
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,388 ✭✭✭✭✭
    You would know better than us. What do you think it will grade?
  • bobbyw8469bobbyw8469 Posts: 7,139 ✭✭✭


    << <i>You would know better than us. What do you think it will grade? >>



    I guessed 5-6 in an earlier post.
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,388 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I dont read. But I still think its a 6.5
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,388 ✭✭✭✭✭
    with a clean back
  • radmanradman Posts: 89 ✭✭

  • Bear48Bear48 Posts: 241 ✭✭✭
    5 (If it's authentic.)
  • MinorLeaguerMinorLeaguer Posts: 514 ✭✭✭

    with the intentions on just buying 1 really nice Brown.The rc. was a 6,not near as clean as yours by the way.

    Did the scan drop the period, or did PSA grade it a 55? image
  • bobbyw8469bobbyw8469 Posts: 7,139 ✭✭✭
    The scanner, when you use the "Dust Removal" setting thinks that the period in the grade is a piece of dust. Only happens with PSA labels, and not SGC labels......;
