I am looking for opinions on whether or not to send this card for review. The centering is excellent, with only a slight tilt on the bottom. It is early graded card before half grades. What does everyone think? Thanks!

    Nice card. From what I can see I don't see why it can't be an 8.5. Flip a coin?

    review, based on that scan, top right kept it from 9+

    Worth it. Ask them to re-holder it if it doesn't bump to get a benefit out of it at least.

    Definitely send in...

    Give it a shot but I think it stays a straight 8 with that top right corner. While originally I believe the .5 grades were intended to reward well centered cards I don't think that is what has actually happened in practice.

    A better scan or picture would give a better chance of an opinion on the print surface, corners and edges.
    Sure, why not, I guess

    Go for it!...8.5 and it's in a new holder which makes it safer!

    Hard to tell from the scan but I would certainly give it a shot. Good luck and keep us posted.

    I don’t think it will bump, but I also think it’s nice enough to take a shot.

    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Nicely centered back. Try it. Worst case scenario if deemed an 8 ask them to re-holder like secretstash mentioned. If it stays an 8 you still have a heckuva a nice card to be proud of!!

    Think it gets the bump to 8.5

  • mexpo75mexpo75 Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭✭

    I hope so!

    Sent off today, fingers crossed. If this doesn't get a bump, I will probably never donate to PSA again. Keep your fingers crossed. I'll report back.

    New holder alone will make it safer and far better looking than the old primitive product they used to use...it was so easily penetrated by fraudsters its amazing that old plastic technology lasted as long as it did....... Ive never cracked a card out and resubmitted before but I wonder if that might make a difference with this Rose..... its risky as heck but who knows if they would give it a 8.5 or 9 ...who knows?

  • mexpo75mexpo75 Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭✭

    or i get the grader of death and it gets a 7.5
