Hey guys. I usually only buy psa graded cards pre 1970 as I'm worried about being burned. But the seller said he got the card from a friend who was a long time collector and is pretty certain it isn't fake and offered me a full return if PSA deems it is fake. It looks pretty nice in hand but I oddly don't own another 63 to compare it to. Any thoughts on authenticity or advice on how to check ? And what do you think it will Grade ? I'm thinking 5.5 to 6.

I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.

    I think it is real. I would say PSA 5 or 6 if you're lucky, but what is that on the right side of the white border? If it is wax it may take this down 1-2.

    Thanks guys for your thoughts. On the right border is chipping. It looks less intense than in the scan, when the card is in hand, but the glossy finish along the edge is chipped.
