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.

<< <i>I think someone is going to be disappointed in that OPC style rough cut on the left side!! >>
I'd much prefer that to a trimmed edge.
<< <i>I'd prefer closer to 50/50 centering on a 10 like that hut that's me. All else is beautiful and worthy of a 10, but maybe I look at centering more than most. >>
Agree. A little too bottom heavy for me. But don't let my wife hear that
<< <i>The card is a PSA 10 but the centering is bad, it has a rough cut, and it's in an old holder.
Of course, if that card belonged to a board member it would be pristine in all respects. >>

There are also qualities to a card that are as significant to the grade as centering, corners and edges, but are also almost impossible to see in a scan.
The front centering is near 50/50. The t/b centering could be better, but you can hardly notice. The rough cut is an attractive feature on a 75 Topps card (and speaks VOLUMES when it comes to cards integrity). Finally, I would look at the old flip as a big plus for this card. There was a time when PSA was unnecessarily harsh on 75 Topps cards. The Yount was a PSA 10 pop 0 for years and I had cards that should have been 9's and 10's come back as 7's and 8's when I was first putting together the set. PSA has since relaxed a bit and 10's are a bit easier to come by. This card looks to be premium in every respect.
I should add that this card is not mine.

I'm not as sure if this is the case with regular-sized 75s, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that PSA is tougher and more conservative on grading 75 minis today than they were in years past (pre half-grade flip).

They've always been tough on minis, I've only sent 40 or 50 minis into PSA over the years, but I can tell you that they are much more strict on them than the regular issue, especially recently. I recently sent in an order of 8's that were cracked from old flip PSA holders, SGC holders and GAI holders and everything received a bump (or crossed over evenly). I can remember back when there were only 2 or 3 Brett 10's and 0 Yount 10's and PSA would never throw me a bone, but who knows.

I just checked the pop report and there are 9 out of 6,219 that have achieved this grade.
In the liner notes of the SMR there was an example sell in 2013 for $14,340. I would think this one comes in above that number.

They are much tougher now on minis than in the past when it comes to centering (many older cert minis are centered low T/B) and rejecting minsizereq cards..

The front centering is good enough for me.
Great to see such a premium example of this card getting the action it deserves.
At this rate $20K is a realistic hammer.
<< <i>I understand the concerns about centering, especially on front; some cards just aren't centered on back. For example, I've owned a few Montana PSA 10's and seen many others, yet to find one centered on back >>
The best example of that is 1973 AllTime HR Leaders. Horrific back centering, tilted front, I don't think I've ever seen a really nice one.
How can a particular card always have bad back centering? Wouldn't the whole sheet be affected, or was the spacing on that particular card off?

When it comes to grading, centering and corners are just 2 of the many factors that PSA considers. And sometimes the flaws that knock a card down to an 8 are only visible in hand.
The Brett is now over $15.5K, a new record high that shows no signs of slowing down just yet.

Definitely a sign that there are a lot more collectors looking at cards.
Looks like this card has more then doubled since this thread was started.

What's wrong with the centering looks just about perfect to me?
I would tend to agree. If we are being picky (and I suppose we can be with a card of this magnitude), it is centered a bit high T/B with an almost imperceptible tilt. Not nearly enough so on either count to affect the grade, but noted simply for eye appeal.

Was surprised also that the 2 Brett 9's didn't go for more
Great card. Razor corners, but wow, $41000 for a brett rookie. That is an incredible price. Is there really much more upward movement for a card like this?
In about 2 years it will go for 75k and we will all be kicking ourselves for not buying this one for 41K
