Guys,

I have this card which is pretty rare in high grade. It is beautiful and looks to be Mint or at worst NM/MT as currently graded...

It has what looks to be a double exposure?? If I send this to PSA and request no qualifiers what happens?? Do they "net grade" it as a 6, can it pull a 7 or 8 like this??

Thanks Guys

Jeff

    You can request a min grade before they reholder.

    I'd leave that card right where it is
    Strong chance PSA says EOT
    Because it probably is

    I'm not sure that you can get a rid of PD qualifier with a lower grade. It's either a PD or not. Same with the MC qualifier.

    I beleive they would say "OF"..out of focus...tough card and series for high grade

    Ah, yes, I forgot about the OF qualifier. Rarely seen in the wild.

    I haven't seen a card graded with the focus qualifier in at least 10 years. Registration issues are pretty common is this set, '49 Leaf, E90-1, etc. Never seen it effect the grade.
    If you can get a straight 5 out of this you'd be better off in a PSA holder than this one. I do agree that the card is suspect for trimming, not liking the right side but it might pass.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
