    Yes, it looks like a PSA GEM-MT 10 to me, even with the questionable centering.

    WOW this is up to a Pop 7.

    I remember when the first one sold and went for just over $2,000.

    i think the centering looks off because the card is pushed to the left hand side - it's casting a "shadow" on the left side

    using the zoom feature, the upper left corner is suspect. However, the corners look sharp from the back, so I'd need to see it in hand to make a better determination. The black lines surrounding the pink aren't very strong on the sides. May not be a 10, but I'd like to have it at the right price.

    hopefully this one does. I thought so and a pop 1 rookie.

    From the scan, always tricky to view, it seems to me it meets the criteria for a 10 rather easy. In hand, might be another story.

    I like yours much better. Seems dead on centering and more pure white borders, unless it's a result of a better scan.

    thanks blue jay! picked it up for $300. I know it's a topps coca cola, but thought it was sharp and considering it's a pop 1 in a psa 10. thought it felt like a ninth inning, 2 out, off the bench, game winning home run in the world series. facing Eckersley off all people!
