is this Robinson rookie worthy of an 8?

Perhaps I have become too critical, but just seems like if I sent this in it would get a 6 or 8 ST

But maybe its a fair grade?

    Probably should get st with wax stain on back

    Nice card but not high end even w/o stain

    Could be an example of a "no qualifier" grade. Could the card be a 10 without the stain?

    No way, for a lot of reasons, but most obvious T/B centering.

    Old flip, more lenient back then.

    Bingo! There's the real answer to the question.

    I see the front is dirty too.

    I remember this card being discussed on another forum the last time it came up for sale. Many suspected that the stain was soaked out prior to being submitted but reappeared after being slabbed. No way that gets a straight 8 with the stain visible.

    That wax stain is from a penny pack. I'm working on my phD in wax stains.
