picked this up at a flea market - has some obvious flaws, but the centering was just too good to pass up - does it have a shot at a 7.5?
top and bottom right corners - big touch and touch respectively
left edge has some chipping
small yellow sating right mid edge
surface edge bump (does not persist through to back) tope edge above "ender"
some slight print markings hovering over the name
too sub or not to sub?

    I'm thinking '6'. I would sub it just cause it is cool!

    I'd say a 7. Besides the flaws you pointed out the specs of yellow in the team banner is also present.

    By the yellow sating on the right ... is that a "surface edge bump" as well? I can't see how this gets above a "5" with that "bump" on the top (and maybe one on the right edge as well). I hope I am wrong!!!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    That would be a good card to get signed. Nice eye appeal and the qualifier probably won't show up if it's red-flipped.

    Way too many issues and flaws to be a 7 IMHO

    Does Rickey do TTM signings? Anyone ever gotten his sig?

    With no qualifiers, I would say a PSA 5. Not sure what's going on there along the top edge above the "ND". I agree about the autograph idea.

    Uhhh...no...with that upper right corner, and all that crap in the green?? Try 5 or 6, flip a coin......

    With that stain, touched corners and the finger dent up on top, Im going with a 6 (ST).

    It is indeed a neat card in ones collection but I would not send in and just leave it raw.

    Rickey don't sign for free, Rickey only signs if he's gettin' paid.
