    When I see a 9 like that and look at all the 1975 8s I just got back, I can't say I'm not a bit miffed.

    I think the only thing holding your raw card back is PD--snow on the surface. Small fisheye to a lesser degree.

    I THINK the L/R centering on the slabbed one is a bit better and u have a couple of fisheyes. (I know the slabbed one has a fisheye as well.) Best of luck if u send it off to PSA.

    Edited to add: As Tim mentioned, you do have a bit more snow on the card as well.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    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 dont like the bump in the right boarder in the red 2cm up from the orange, looks like a worn bump.
    Corners are MINT, but the surface has issues.
    YOu never know though

    I like the centering better on yours, but agree the snow will keep you at an 8 max (imo). Good luck if you decide to submit.


    Thanks,

  • Agree. Nice card, but snow is keeping this one an 8.
