1990 OPC Baseball Cal Ripken box bottom panel

1966CUDA · May 4, 2015 11:22AM

Just checked the pop report and only showing 1 graded. Should I send to PSA??

If it measures up - yes!

Sandberg and Ryan are 2 other good ones

Hey Tom.....I cut out the Ryan and Sandberg too but they are kind of scuffed up from being on the bottom of the box. It's tuff to cut them to size cuz there aren't really any borders to go by.

Remember when cutting these box bottoms, Its always better to be just a little oversized than under.

An undersized will get you Authentic which is what you don't want

I picked up 9 boxes recently and only one box had the Ryan/Ripken panel.

There is BIG demand on the Ryan and Sandberg from 1990

1966CUDA · May 4, 2015 11:38AM

Here is the Sandberg... scuffs on surface and bottom/right edge not cut perfect.

On the Ripken...

A PSA 8 will do ok, you want a 9 for good value but a 10 would be BIG

My opinion if you card measures up (and the cut looks funny) it would bring a 8

Don't think I would send the Sandberg in.

Also on these box bottoms, look for small hairline creases along the bottom/top borders

Looks like there are surface scratches on both cards. Expect 5's or 6's if there are no other problems. If you want the best results you have to make them uniform.

Good luck!

I believe with box bottoms they only grade them authentic now.
I don't believe they will give a numerical grade. You can check but I believe it's been that way for a while which might be why there are not many high grades.

This is incorrect. Anything cut undersized is Authentic.

Ok we'll thanks for correcting me. Didn't realize that.

Did the ghost of Ray Charles cut out the Ripken?

to get the best grades have a visible straight border on the sides. you gonna lose a few cards cause all the cards share a border and they will grade well if you have a border, cut straight, no scratches and of course no creases.

Yep. I would clean the cuts up a bit better before I subbed.

Hiya Claude

Do they assign a grade to them or just "authentic?"

Cool green color.

Too bad you only got 1 of these box bottom boxes. This is the key box of the 4.

3 of the 4 cards on the box would bring good coin in a 9 or 10
