Chance at a bump?

Does this have a chance at bumping to a 7? The back is clean and centered well. The line on his chin is the scanner, not on the card. I have no idea why it is a 6. Lets hear your opinions!

.................Previous owner (BBCE) said they sent it in 3 times for a review and it got a 6 each time....................

  • Looks sharp over than the t/b, i would thinks so.
  • I think this is a great looking card! The only thing that I can see that may be the reason for the continued 6 is that even though the top 2 corners form a tip, there might be some chipping or paper loss. If that's the case, they may maintain the grade of 6. The slight top to bottom centering is well within 7 guidelines. No matter what, a very nice looking Brooks Robinson RC.

    Hard to tell from the scan, but looks like a chip of stock from the top right corner might
    have held back the bump. Under a loupe, that corner might look terrible.

    That is a nice looking card. Is there a small dent in the the center of the top boarder? That is really the only flaw I can see from the scan that might keep it from getting bumped. My guess is there is some type of surface issue that is hard to see without a loupe.

    I'll withhold my conjecture and accentuate the positive: it certainly passes the eye test.

    After looking at it with my loupe, the upper right corner does have a little bit of chipping. The other 3 corners are all good. And that is not a dent on the upper middle of the border. It must be the scan.

    Definitely worth a shot IMO.
    "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."
