I have been searching for a nicely centered Staubach for about a year now. I was planning to go to the National to pick one up but the wife was sick so I had to miss. She felt bad but I said no big deal I'll find one on eBay someday. I was searching around Sunday night and came across this one so I had to buy plus $300 less then Ricks

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.
What kept it from a higher grade. looks pretty nice.

I have some 8.5's that are not that well centered or tilted, so I don't think that's what is preventing a higher grade.
I think that's one of the most eye appealing Staubach rookies I have ever seen, again, congrats!
<< <i>Oriols it looks like the slight tilt is all I see, it looks like it should be 8.5 with the centering but who knows.. >>
I barely even noticed the tilt. I could easily see it in a 9 holder. Unless theres a surface issue or something we cannot see.

Congratulations! That is one of the nicer Roger's Ive seen!
Growing up in the seventies Roger Staubach was EVERYTHING a football player should be to us as kids.
His cards along with all the other Cowboy greats was the reason we even collected cards as kids.
He was the Greatest Quarterback Ive ever seen and the memory of his heroic play has kept me in the hobby to this day.
Roger Staubach will always be, My greatest boyhood hero.
Congratulations again on such a fine card. One that should be in any football card collection.

you didnt miss any at The National. There were no 8's (or 7s) in the room. (im looking for one, or possibly a 7) there was one 9 and it looked a little more oc then yours.
Great pickup.

Backpages, I would have been really pissed if I went and couldn't find a Staubach rookie. It really is one of the tuffest cards to find centered. I have a SGC 5.5 and Sgc 5 if interested pm me

I had two very nice Roger Rookies both Psa 8's. After a long hard debate over which to keep I went with this one.
The other one was very nice as well with great centering and I sold it for $700 back in 2004.
I truely believe had it not been for those peskey "Over the Hill" Redskins, that Cowboy team would have beat that 72 Dolphin Team a second time to
repeat as Super Bowl champs. They just matched up so much better than the Redskins did against that Dolphin Team.

Wow, a beauty and worth a bump. Why not a 9?!?

Here's mine. Acquired the fall of 1989 in eighth grade from my friend Jason. I gave him about $80(I remember one of the items was an 88 Fleer factory set) in trade in baseball for all of his football which included a group of 1972's including this one. It was a huge trade in my early collecting career. I remember this card was "old" to me then, although at the time it was only 17 years old. More time has passed with this card in my collection than years old it was at the time. How crazy is that! It was also the first card I had graded when I got back into the hobby.
