There are 2 Topps PSA 10's (0.0459% of all graded) and 1 OPC PSA 10, (0.03% of all graded) but I have a feeling the final price of the OPC will be more than 2X the Topps. Now is your chance to own both!

I always thought the Topps card was better looking because it often doesn't have the rough cut like a lot of the OPCs.

Cards weren't meant to have rough cuts.
Actually, when they're cut with wires and not blades, it's inevitable.

You're wrong.

Cards weren't meant to have rough cuts, and apparently they weren't meant to be cut with wires either.

PSA seems to think differently as they use the "rough cut" whether it be major or very minor to determine the authenticity of OPC cards. When there isn't a rough cut, it screams "sheet cut", and speaking only for myself, I wouldn't give you two pennies for a sheet cut OPC card. So with that said, and for the second time.......you're wrong.

You are certainly welcome to like rough cut cards, but the fact remains that standard trading cards weren't meant to have them. It's a flaw that OPC either couldn't prevent, or didn't care to.

Lol. You keep wandering off-topic. Of course a rough-cut can be good for determining the authenticity. I never said otherwise. And the who the heck is talking about sheet cut???
PSA overlooks rough cut OPC cards because the rough cut cards are extremely common. They're the result of an outdated cutting system. Do 2016 OPC cards have them?

It wasn't an outdated cutting system, it was the only cutting system they ever used in Canada. Even their modern OPC cards up until 1994 when they went out of business had rough cuts. I will agree when you say standard "American" cards weren't meant to have them, but the Canadian process was completely different.
2016 OPC is irrelevant because they aren't printed in Canada...real OPC became out of print in 1994...

One has nothing to do with the other.
"A much smaller operation than Topps, the O-Pee-Chee production process utilized an outdated system of wires to cut its cards. Full sheets would be stacked in piles of 50 to 100 or more, and as the sharp wires worked their way through the sheets, all but the few top levels experienced this characteristic rough-cutting from the almost saw-like action of the wires."

Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
So do people think that OPC posted on Goldin Auctions is a sheet cut version and therefore not authentic from a pack?
No. It does have a rough cut.
Also, PSA should consider the centering of the oil drop on the logo.
There are so many other examples I'd take over this card any day of the week.
Nice card but I willl take mine for approx 500k less!
That's a beauty!
Whats to prevent the wire cut process being applied/replicated, outside of the factory, to an uncut sheet of cards. Or has this been tried/done already?
I suspect the scammer (because that's what they would likely be) having to invest in the heavy duty machinery.
$465,000 for the PSA 10 1979 OPC Gretzky
$200,976 for the PSA 10 1979 Topps Gretzky
PSA 10 OPC = 2.3X the PSA 10 Topps
On Joe Orlando's Twitter feed I see he tweeted that the Kareem rookie and Gretzky OPC became Pop 2's at the show. Intersting.
Wow!! Hope Joe shares some pics!! Wonder what that will do to the prices....
Evidently, the Alcindor RC PSA 10 was immediately consigned to Heritage Auctions for their November 2017 auction.

nice card!
That is a STUNNER!

Absolutely incredible.
I would say that is the better of the two copies by a mile. The original one is skewed to the left pretty hard to carry a 10.

What a beautiful card!

I would have done the same thing with either card. To most of us it's life changing money..

David, too bad yours has a soft top right corner. Otherwise, that's a beauty.
