1971 Topps Thurman Munson PSA 8.5 ??

For a POP 1 card does this look like a PSA 8.5 with the obvious diamond cut?? Not in my opinion. Personally I've seen 7.5's and 8's that look better. Even a few 7's. Not really sure what the grader was thinking on this one.

I wouldn't have given the .5; but I can live with the grade.

As a former owner of this card, I happen to have a high res scan that I can share here. It does have a very slight tilt
moving up from left to right but otherwise it was a very sharp card!

Were it not for the kindness of Thunderdan allowing me to upgrade to a 9 I'd still be very pleased owning the 8.5.

i'd be ecstatic if it came back that grade, thinking that an 8 would be absolute tops for the card. Lower left corner looks a bit soft as well. Still a really nice card but the tilt is rather notceable imo..

IMO that card seems to be pretty nice and the tilt is not offensive to the eyes.
