this is my fifth attempt at a bump (first 4 failed) but first with this card... sent this baby in along with a PSA 8.5 1975 Brett RC - the Brett is nicely centered but has that same top left corner issue as the Yount that was up recently and bumped to 8.5... anyway, I digress...
Anyway, I am very pleased - some times good things do happen...

I sent this...

and got this...
1 1 NEAR MINT-MINT+ 8.5 1956 TOPPS 33 ROBERTO CLEMENTE GRAY BACK Card
2 1 NEAR MINT-MINT+ 8.5 1975 TOPPS 228 GEORGE BRETT Card

    Nice, I believe that was mbmiller's card at one time. He has a great eye.

    Beautiful card. Congratulations on the bump! Actually looks like a strong 8.5 to me.

    Very jealous. The '56 Clemente is my all-time favorite card. I have one, but yours is MUCH nicer.
