Unfortunately my 1969 Mike Shannon was not holdered due to being miscut. I new it had an uneven edge but it was a borderline 8, so I decided to take a chance. Looks like the search will continue.
I hear you...I sent in five different "MINT" 1974 Topps #329 Mark Belanger cards over the past year. All 5 came back "Not Holdered MINISIZE" argh!!! I tried my sixth last week and YEAH!!! I finally pulled a PSA 8NQ
Mike - LOL. I think I'll have to submit this one to PRO in order to have it grade out. I could probably resubmit to PSA and get it holdered with a "MC" qualifier but I usually submit in bulk and request no qualifiers.
First, is it safe to assume you are the same person?
Second, sorry on the Shannon. I never found one worth buying - all seemed 75-25 or worse. I agree with mcastaldi.
Good luck!
PS, I'm sending in about 40 - '69s for the grading special today. All should get 8 and a few are borderline 9's, so maybe I'll get a few 9's. We'll see.
I got my sahannon card back from PSA last week. came back a PSA 7, but that was no surprise since it did have two corner dings. But has you can see by the scan it was centered fairly nice
I listed it on Ebay Saturday night with a BIN of $35.00........when I woke up Sunday, somebody had hammered on the BIN....gone in a few hours after being listed
Yes, we're one in the same (multiple personalities). I originally signed up as gemint but then lost my password so I created a new ID under '69topps8'. I've since forgotten that password as well I have the passwords automatically saved with one account on my laptop and one on my desktop. If the passwords ever get deleted, I'll really be in trouble. So if you see another '69 Brock ICON accompanied by a new user name, you'll know what happened.
Good luck on your submission. I picked up about 75 1969s at the recent show in SF. I picked up some vending quality cards in the lot. I should get some 9s on the easy cards (Al Dark, Al McBean, etc). Unfortunately, no quality Shannons or Satrianos to be found.

Have been following this thread for a little whle now, learning alot about the tough 69 cards.Had a bunch of them I sent in for grading, unfortunetly didn't have any of the Shannon card, or a nice enough Radatz or Satriano to send in. I did wind up getting quite a few low-production cards like the #21 Santiago in PSA 8 and quite a few others. I might throw them up on Ebay, don't have enough cards or money to try to build this set.
I'll tell the Santiago is real tough too. I just purchased a Mike Andrews in 9. I was stunned to see it. I would have killed for an 8 let alone a 9. What do you want for the Santiago?

Was the card miscut side to side or top/bottom? Do you have a scan?

Thanks for the scan. Too bad on the "miscut". It is a nice card though.
