I sent this one in on a leftover sub voucher. I thought this card was pretty much mint.
I received the half point bump image
NOW PSA 8.5

    They have given alot of bumps lately....have they finally loosend the bumps? I was like 0-20 on bumps, so I quite submitting cards for crossover. Maybe they are doing this to try to stimulate people into subbing more?

    Doc ... is that loss of yellow on the top of the card or is it from the scan?

    There is a little concave dip in the yellow on the top, but it is less noticeable in hand, (not magnified scan). There is less contrast with the white abutting the yellow- so it is hard to see. This card has the nicest corners of any vintage PSA 8 or 8.5 card, that I have in my own collection. I have many 8's and several 8.5's from the 50' and 60's. I looked carefully with a magnifying glass - the corners look mint to me without even a touch of wear. The other 8.5's I own all have some minimal wear on a corner. The T/B centering is a little off, but again less noticeable with the yellow next to white. It took me over 3 years to find this card. It was graded in a batch, sequential high grade 59's by the submitter, so I think it was given the straight PSA 8 -initially.

    That is exactly why I only buy PSA graded cards. Outside of that spot on his neck I can't see anything wrong with it. I would have expected a 9 or 10.

    Doc, that's the reason I asked, because outside of that this card should not have been sitting in an "8" holder. The rest of the card looks VERY "9" worthy. A GREAT looking piece of cardboard!

    everyone but you gets a bump. i even bumped a psa 10 to a psa 11, that's how easy it is.
    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    That's a sweet Aaron card. Congrats on your bump. It looks well deserved.

    It was a joke, I'm mocking everyone on this forum who's typical first response to a card is, "it's a little off center."
