Presents as a 6-7 as it is really very beautiful; Blvd color and wonderfully centered. That said, I'm guessing it grades 4 - 5 - there's a bit of staining on the bottom border and the lower left corner (when looking at front of card) appears to have a barely there crease. In my experience if you think you see it (in a scan) it's there.
Either way, a gorgeous card. Congrats!

Yeah, nothing special. I'd hate to see you get stuck with such a horrible looking card. Just so you're not, I'd be willing to take if off your hands for like, $40.....you know, just as a favor.
It presents beautifully without a slab. If you are a collector then leave it raw and enjoy it as it is. If you are an investor, then send it in and take your chances. Could come back anywhere between 3-7 depending on too many factors a scanned picture cant tell really show the forum members (assuming it doesn't get flagged for EOT, min size, etc.).
PSA 4 or 5 in my mind but very marketable b/c of the centering... Centering for me, is huge ,,, you could probably get a grade above in value for the card b/c of the centering...very appealing indeed. NICE! Based on the PSA 6 below it Id be thrilled with a 5 for this one.
Really nice grade, and that centering is cherry for this card. Heck, from some of the '59 Gibsons I've seen posted lately, a newbie might think a well-centered one to be easy to find, when nothing could be more untrue! Congrats!
Looks much nicer in the slab IMHO. It looks like there was some curl in the initial scans that seems to have flattened out now and probably affected the pre-grades. Congrats!

6 I think, maybe a 5. Its a very nice looking card. I'd get it graded also, even if it was just going to stay in my collection.
7

Assuming no surface issues, I'd say 7. I'm wondering what I'm seeing of the bottom left on the reverse though.

Presents very well, but I guess 5.5 because of the good centering
nice card...probably only a 5 on most days right now.
Nice looking card. If you have no creases I think you are in the 5-6 range with 7 being a long shot. Here is my Gibby PSA 6 for comparison.

6, 6.5 b/c of great centering would sell in the 7 range
4-5 bottom left looks like it has a crease.

Nice pickup! I would say 5.5 or 6
Nice card.
Looks like a 6.
One of my all time favorites............a beautiful card!
I very nice card with good centering. I'm thinking a PSA 5 or PSA 6 given some of the surface issues on the back.

Definitely a sweet card - bummer that he was optioned to Omaha in April.....sure hope he can turn it around at some point.

Good thing that Gibson eventually got brought up to the majors, because his won-lost record wasn't all that great in the minors.
Grade popped today.... 6.5. Will post scan in holder when card comes back.
I'd be really happy with that grade Claude.
Nice going.
Nice score. Notice on the auto sig. in "Gibson" it looks like a second "i" that is not there was dotted.
Nice! Congrats on the grade!
Good for you! Looks nice.
Nice, congrats on the grade. Very nice centering for a tough centering year.
Congrats - glad what I saw in the raw scan was MY eyes playing tricks on ME!

Just showed up today!
Looks great in the PSA holder.
