1962 Topps Clemente - PSA Grading expectation

I really like the centering on this Clemente. Do I have a chance for a PSA 7.5 or what is the ceiling?

    Great centering. Would guess 6.5, with a shot for 7.5 (based on that great centering). Tough to see the corners up close. Either way, a nice looking card.

    For the 1962 Topps baseball set I believe those corners would receive a grade of 6, but the centering could make a grader lean towards giving it a 6.5. It's a very nice looking card, no matter what grade it receives.

    Nice card- I think 6.5-6 - on the basis of corners. Very nice surface, free of print defects. A 600 dpi scan outside of the CS1 would help to see corner detail better. Here is a 600 dpi of my 62 which was self submitted raw. My card has some slight surface PD - yours is super clean

    I would say PSA 7 is the best with 6-6.5 most likely. A sweet looking card regardless of the grade.

    My first thought is a PSA 6. Nice looking card.

    Good luck,

    Thanks guys. I am hoping the centering gives me that .5 bump. I think the corners and surface are good enough for a 7 on some days(right corners show more touch compared to left), but it would be an exceptional 6 as well. Just was curious of the potential since it could be about a 2.5-3x value change depending on which side of the swing I land(6-7.5).

    A 6 also hit me first but other than the corners that card is nails with centering and surface. Hope for 6.5. Good luck

    I would say 6 or 6.5

    left edge worries me , doesn't look straight, I think it could eventually get a 7, don't think it could get a 7.5 with the right corners
