    Good question. I looked at that one earlier in the week and did think too much of it. After looking at it again it seems pretty decent and maybe has a shot. Top/bottom centering could be better, and I like it the more I see it.

    I would think that the left edge would keep it from bumping, but definitely one of the better 8's.

    Top to bottom centering will preclude a bump.

    Great card...I would try for the bump but doubt it (t/b, left corner)

    I was interested in it as an 8, but could not justify chasing it that high.



    FWIW I don't see it as an 8.5, but based on what it realized it seems like

    there were a least a few people who did

    My checklist for this card is R/L centering, clear registration, T/B centering, and corners. This card has nice L/R centering but the other three criteria are subpar. I find the T/B centering distracting with those thicker white borders. I wouldn't be willing to go up the ladder for this example.


    Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.

    Beautiful card but I think the top right corner keeps it in an 8 holder.

    As usual, scan doesn't really show card well enough to make a determination. I would say it is properly graded, but you never can tell.
