I had a 1981 O-pee-chee raines gray back grade a PSA 9, pop 1 no 10's. Bound to be his rarest 1981 card. Now is it worth much, not sure. Any opinions?
Work hard and you will succeed!!

    There is a PSA 10 gray back but it doesn't say "gray back" on the holder

    I hope he gets in next year. They say he is lock after getting close to 70% however I think there is a group of writers that hold the coke (not pepsi) issue against him like it was a PED.

    Thank for the info. $350 before the gray back became so knowledgeable. I'm guessing that is a $500 card all day long now.

    It's the even rarer grey back in a PSA error non gray back holder......PRICELESS.

    Move over Honus, the real holy grail is here.

    Never knew there were gray backs in 1981 OPC?

    IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED

    For the reasons he got his Rock nickname and his own off field issues that affected his on field issues, it'll be difficult for him to get a place in the Hall. Not that I agree or not.
    Esp, since I have so many of his rooks.

    Which brings up this, not many think he'll get in but could. So if he does, I suspect there are a ton of his RC's waiting to be sent in to be graded. Id sell fast after the announcement. But who knows.

    Mount Rushmore? Do you have 4 different high grade Raines RCs?

    The mountain is only one rock. Must have perspective on this.
