Just busted my 1975 rack from a previous group rip - guess grade on Brett

If anyone remembers, I had Gary Matthews on a back panel and from a previous thread (if someone could help me find it and post it), the sequencing was on target for a Brett -- I was in a mood to rip (sorry cpamike)

    Great rip! That YAZ looks nice as well. Brett looks to fall within 9 limits.


    Thanks,

    Nice! The Yaz looks like an easy 9, and although the Brett might deserve a 9, I'd expect an 8.

    Great break.
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.

    Wow!!! Amazing Brett. I so want one. At least PSA 8 although yours has potential for a 9

    Are all those from ONE rack pack?!
    I'm building a 1968 and a 1970 Topps set. I have lots of 1970s and 1960s to offer in trade.

    Yes. Different panels.
    Steve Carlton was also in there, but WAY o/c
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,746 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nice hit and worth the rip as that card has a great shot at PSA 9, imo! Nice break that Brett was well centered instead of the Carlton that followed it!

    That Brett is a beauty.

    It will be in a PSA 9 holder very soon IMHO from the scan.

    Congrats! That's a great pull. Good luck with the sub.

    SCORE!! Nice pull. So from the back (of the appr. Section) it went Gary Mathews, Steve C and then Brett correct.

    Hey Gregg, still at work (just taking a break image), but I had to say CONGRATS!!!

    I had just thought you ripped this way back when we got those racks from Steve. If I was to open a rack, that would have been my choice too. I think that is a lock for a 9...glad the centering gods were with you for the Brett.

    That's a gorgeous, Brett rookie! What a hit. It looks good for an 8.5 or 9 to me! Congrats.

    I will say 9 on the brett, too OC for the 10 + a print dot,
    knowing how tough they are on the card I wouldn't be shocked at 8.5

    do you have the grade I hope?
  • tsalems1tsalems1 Posts: 3,458 ✭✭✭✭
    I will guess PSA 8

    Unless back is MC or there's something wrong that we can't see in scan like athe surface wrinkle there's really no reason that card shouldn't be a 9. I've submitted a ton of 75s in my time and that card appears to be mint to my eye.

    IMO, that belongs in a $750.00 "PSA 9" slab.

    If you got a TEN (Man, I hope you did) we are all going out for dinner and LOTS OF BEER on you!!!!!

    Deserves a 9.

    8.5 print dot and L/R centering is a bit off.
  • ldfergldferg Posts: 6,745 ✭✭✭
    9. Good luck.

  • jswietonjswieton Posts: 2,870 ✭✭✭
    Wow that Brett is a blazer WTG!!! The centering and the print dot will keep it out of a 10 holder but I would keep submitting it until you get a 9.
  • EchoCanyonEchoCanyon Posts: 2,288 ✭✭✭
    It received a 5 -- I am dumb-founded.

    (btw, back was as clean and centered as front)
  • mknezmknez Posts: 1,992 ✭✭✭
    Has to be a wrinkle somewhere?

    stupid print dots

  • MinorLeaguerMinorLeaguer Posts: 514 ✭✭✭
    Gorgeous cards. FYI if you haven't sent in the Yaz yet. I submitted about eight '75 Yaz's, that were pulled from rack packs by a dealer in 1992 or so and they sat in Card Saver I's and penny sleeves for a long time unmoved and no sunlight. I think I paid maybe $15 for the lot back then. They all had the same centering as yours, full gloss, perfect corners and edges. I submitted them earlier this year thinking 8.5 - 9 due to centering. They all came back PSA 8 so that's what I'm guessing for your Yaz.

    As was already mentioned, there must be a wrinkle somewhere.

    Yes, the Yaz got an 8.

    +1

    Must have a wrinkle as that is an automatic 5 for an otherwise mint card.

    Many cards with wrinkles get 6's.
  • bcubsbcubs Posts: 344 ✭✭✭
    I can't figure that one out, there has to be something on the surface as everyone has said that is not noticeable in the scan.

    Appreciate today-

    Bill

  • Mickey71Mickey71 Posts: 4,259 ✭✭✭✭
    You can send it in for review to get the .5
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,746 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>Many cards with wrinkles get 6's. >>



    My experience is that psa usually assigns an automatic 5 for a surface wrinkle. Either way, I'm sure the OP is pretty disappointed.
