1960 Willie Mays A.S. PSA 7?

Wish I could receive these grades.

The picture isn't very good but it looks like a 7 to me. I'm not familiar with this issue - what makes it look over graded?

you are right,should have been an 8

Are you saying this should of been a 6? 7 looks good to me. Corners look a bit touched for an 8 but this card is too nice to be a 6.

Look at "Mays"

I think he's referring to what looks like a gouge in the name... Could be residue on the holder, but I think the OP may be right.

The top border looks like it is miscut

Is the holder cracked?

GrandMasterB · June 9, 2013 4:28AM

I enlarged the picture and it does look like a gouge.

Oh wow, I'm on my iPad so I didn't even catch that. Your right, that looks like its on the card and if that's the base, that think should of gotten a 3 at best because that gouge is nasty. I could never come to terms with myself on owning a card that looks like that if I was in the market for that card in a 7.

<< <i>Is the holder cracked? >>

Bingo! That is a crack in the holder.

The card appears to be accurately graded.
