Is this really 1 of the top 9 1962 Topps Mays?

Check out this 1962 Topps Mays. It's a PSA 9, so its 1 of the top 9 cards ever graded by PSA, but it looks like it has wear on the TR and BL corners, as well as being off center. Anyone seen a better 1962, even though it might not be as high of a grade?

Ah. Those halcyon days.

The 1962 set is near impossible to collect in high grade. No way would I attempt this as a set with the borders, chipping, and edges that so easily stand out. Thats not a great 9 but I bet there aren't many better.

Not my card, but a good looking 8:

I would take Littletweed's PSA 8 all day over that PSA 9. Not even close in my opinion.

I would love to have that 8 in my collection. Great looking card.

I wonder what the qualifications are to label something "crazy rare"?

BTW, that is a very nice 8!

When 'centered' just won't do.

So that is a PSA 9 and I can't get this baby to bump. (after 4 tries, I'm done trying). It can be a bit frustrating trying to figure this stuff out...

Dat sweet. I scrolled up enough to eliminate the label and just see the card. Thank you desk mouse.

Keep trying on the Maris.

Clockwork Angel...PSA isn't always right given this example and your 62 Maris. I remember dickering with the guy who had this card for sale. I slept on his offer of selling it for $7500...and the next morning decided to go for it...but you had already bought it. Beautiful example whether an 8.5 or 9.
