How much does the snow in the background affect the grade?

Be careful of that bottom right corner though.
Possibly a 5 if it's bent or more severly creased on the corner. I'd pass on it if I were you.

Great Question. Could it have been graded with a qualifier and the seller now cracked it out in hopes getting more money for it raw and letting the new person also get the qualifier.
Just pass and look for a better one - how about a graded one and that way you don't have to even worry about its authenticity.

I would question why someone is selling a card raw if they have a bunch of graded stuff in their store. But he is just selling a bunch of miscellaneous sports memorabilia with a couple of cards. So I wouldn't worry too much that the card has been busted out of a graded case or has a hidden problem.
There are a lot of people out there that don't like grading and prefer cards raw. I only grade cards to resell them. I have very few graded cards in my personal collection.

+1 A 55 year old card that pack-fresh sharp just screams to be in a PSA slab. The fact it isn't would make me leery of plopping down that much $. How would you feel if you bought it, sent it to PSA or SGC and it came back AUTH / EOT / Altered? Pretty bad, I suppose . . .

I agree. Without the print dots I don't think you could ever get a "7" with that bottom right corner. The seller has the starting bid at a "PSA 6.5" price. NO WAY that card gets a 6.5.

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.
