1959 Topps Elston Howard, Would You Sub This?

I guess an 8.5 or higher would only make it worth it. I know the T/B centering is askew but a 9 on eBay has similar issue. Your thoughts?

    I think the T/B centering makes this card Psa 8. Still a nice looking card though.

    A PSA 5.5 just sold for around $8 so atleast you break even at a psa 6.

    How does the reverse look? Only other flaws I see is the spot on the top white border above the "W" and the blue spot on the blue area to the left of "E" of Elston. Would look nice in a slab. I always wondered why they did not capitalize the first letter of the first/last name,E instead of e and H instead of h for these 59's. It is customary to do so.

    There is a long 59 thread near the top in the Registry forum and the OP posts 9s and 10s from his collection regularly So do a couple of other guys. I would post it there and get Don's ( Mariner) input

    Thanks guys, the br corner does does quite make the 90 degree turn like the others, know a 9 is an outside shot....The brown spot you mention I believe is on the scanner, will have to double check....
