    Don't like that centering for a 10!!

    Agreed

    I was at the auction when it sold - beautiful card.

    You centering guys are a crazy bunch. I would love to own that card!

    I was watching it "live"...interesting that the "floor auctioneer" can pull (or my word "retract") bids during the auction. Live and during the chaos, frenzy of crazy bidding. hmmmm



    Otherwise, I like the frayed edges of OPC....but the centering is what would get me. Im withholding my half of million dollars for the next one to come up. And what if another gets graded? That'd be a grrrr.
    Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all. image

    I don't know. I think it's a great looking card.

    Rough-cut edges are stupid.

    Me too. That centering is close enough to perfect that I'd be satisfied with it in a 10.

    I thought a 10 WAS perfect???
    Close enough should be saved for a 9.
    10 was a gift on this card.....

    I guess the new owner forgot to apply, "buy the card, not the holder. "

    In 25 years I've never seen a true perfect 10 from PSA, a 100 from SGC or a pristine from BGS/BVG. Technically they don't exist, a flaw can be found somewhere on even the "perfect" cards. Grading should max at Mint Condition IMO. It's how much of a flaw, even minute, that a collector is willing to put up with when it comes to buying and selling "perfect 10's". If I had the money, the centering on the Gretzky wouldn't stop me from buying it image

    At least this deflects the attention away from the '53T Mays for a bit.

    I agree.....perfection is not possible (well, Jeanie as in ' I dream of ' may be an exception...yes, I'm OLD!)

    What do you think the trend will now be for the PSA 9 OPC's ?? The last couple sold for $34-$35K...

    Why did they rough-cut the sides of the OPC cards but not the top?

    It's a well known fact that OPC used dull wires to cut vertically and sharp blades to cut horizontally image
