    << <i>WOW, congratulations! One of my must have cards. That's such a tough card. How stoked you must be...

    That being said, I just don't get it. I have had a couple graded that look flawless under my scrutiny and can't get it off 9. The corners are sharper. I thought the top left corner would make it a 9 based on my experiences with Rice RC's and having them graded, so I am lost at this point. But who cares? The important thing is you got an incredible card that deserves an incredible grade.

    So what are you going to do with it? image >>



    Ditto to the above points.

    I would be happy with a 9 image I have given up on submitting the Young and Rice rookies. image

  • I just saw this now. Amazing. I dont personally find it to be a 10 or it wouldnt be my first pick if I were shopping for one if there were other 10's to choose from but with that being said - HUGE score for you. Thats awesome!! Now lets see it in a PSA 10 case.

    Congratulations. Those green borders are a bear.

    I graded the OP's card a solid 8.5, and still do.

    Grading by looking at scans is futile. Judging the centering is a different story.
  • I would have said 9 but the last time I checked, 10 is a bigger number so congrats!
