I think this card is really nice for a 6. Not sure why the image came out so light - the black looks much richer in person.

    Ive seen a 7 in person and its not nearly as beautiful as this one. Very nice looking card. Great addition to anyone's collection.

    Is there a surface dent or something?
    Nice looking card

    Top to bottom centering is a little off, other than that great card!

    Great looking card. Has to be something with the surface. The corners and edges are really clean.

    Appreciate today-

    Crack it out and resubmit. No reason it's not a 7. If I ran a carpet cleaning business like this....I'd be a millionaire.

    Customer-"You didn't clean my carpet right...it's still dirty"
    Business- The cleaning fee is $149 again

    WOW! Presents so well for a "6". If you paid "6" money for that card you hit a Home Run. Enjoy.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    I can't see any surface issues. I agree the centering isn't there, esp top to bottom. I pretty much paid 6 money for it: The seller had a BIN of around $100 or Best Offer on it. I looked at the completed Listings for PSA 6's and most were in the $50-60 range. This card looked really nice for a 6 and my offer of $58 was accepted.

    When I got the card, the thought to resubmit for a 7 crossed my mind very quickly but I plan on keeping the card. With the old adage of 'buy the card, not the holder' in mind, I now have the card. It doesn't matter to me if a digit on the flip says 6 or 7. Of course, if I change my mind and decide to sell doen the road, I may consider trying to get the bump to a 7.

    What is the mark on the bottom left corner that starts about 1/2" from the bottom and goes in an oval shape to about 1/2" along the bottom?
    I'd be proud to own a 1970 Ryan PSA 6 that looked that good. image

    Nice card! Do you think maybe it was a no qualifiers type submission? Maybe an 8oc that is a 6 because
