I just picked this 1971 "Canadian" Seaver card up last week. Alright OPC fans, What PSA grade should I expect?
Any input and critique is welcome. I am thinking PSA 7.

I don't think it has a shot at an 8
<< <i>Top left corner doesn't bother you, Tom? >>
Yes it does. I still think it could 7 though. Getting a good read on the true condition of 1971 opc baseball is very difficult with scans.
No doubt the top left is a problem but hard to tell if the rest of the card is problem free.
From the backside scan, the bottom left may be a issue as well, just hard to tell.
It may be a 6
I'm with Tom on this one. I was going to say 6.5 before I read his posts. I've got some 1971 OPC cards that came back 7 but looked a little nicer than that one, though I felt that those were a little low for the grade. Certainly the particular grader you get plays into it, and strictly comparing to the graded 1971 OPC's I have, I think a 6.5 is appropriate, but if it were mine, I would consider a 7 as a possibility, though a pleasant surprise. Either way, nice card, good luck!

Chance at a 7.5...

Come on guys, let's be honest - this card has a better shot at getting a PSA 10 than pulling a half grade. We all know those are reserved for review submissions

I'll guess 7.
Good point on the half grade, can't believe how seldom they give them out.
<< <i>I haven't graded '71 OPCs but I would say it has a shot at an 8 depending on how the corner looks under a loupe. The rough cut can hide a bit of wear. It's frankly hard to distinguish whether the upper left corner is worn or just showing white from the rough cutting process. >>
This is my first that I am going to submit. I scoped the card with a 10X magnifier, and while it appears that the upper left effect is from the rough-cut procedure, it is really hard to say. I really don't know what to completely expect here. I do have a PSA 7 1971 OPC Bench that does have some wear on both lower corners.

<< <i>Here's a Seaver PSA 6 that I own. I apologize for the scan, shoulda bought the Epson.
Sharp card! The ding halfway down right edge is probably the reason it only graded a 6.

<< <i>Wow, I forgot to update this. The first submission yielded a PSA 5 grade. The card was cracked out and submitted a second time, and that time it graded a PSA 7. I will try to post a scan later today or tomorrow of the card in the holder. >>
PSA 7 is the grade it deserved. Cingrats, John!
