    I can understand a 9 on the tilting Archie, but you got robbed on the 9's for the Broadway Joe's.

    I'm not saying those Namaths don't look stunning but you can't tell from a scan (especially just a scan of the front) if a card is a perfect 10.

    Chris, you have a great eye for cards and all the cards that you are getting back look really sharp. Been fun following along.

    Does that mean the other 23 vending boxes from the 1972 fb case just become more rare?

    Duh. Of course my opinion can only be based on a picture on the interwebs.
    You forgot to mention that I can't evaluate the surface either.
    And yes, I saw the black dot on the border and the fisheye over the J of Jets.

    From PSA Grade Definitions:
    "A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn't impair the overall appeal of the card."

    And, since when does a PSA 10 have to be a "perfect 10"?

    From PSA Grade Definitions:
    "A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card."

    virtually (Merriam-Webster)
    - adverb
    - definition 1a: almost entirely : nearly

    A quick intermission and I'll get back to some more grades.

    I've had inquiries on whether I want to sell some of the stuff I have been sharing. I have sold a few things.

    If anyone is interested in this 74 Basketball bundle, PM me with questions and/or an offer. The cards in the sleeves have nice centering. The cards in the Acrylic Case are Star Cards but nothing really to grade unless of course you want to. The balance in the box is not so snazzy. I also have some graded cards from this vending box that range from 5's to 8's that could go with. I landed no 9's.

    Thanks - Chris

    @Cakes - Go to the Ultra Pro website and you will see all the cases/boxes they offer. I usually just buy them off EBAY.

    Possibly - I have been keeping most if in decent shape. PM what you are looking for and if I have a duplicate I might part with it. Thanks - Chris L.

    Love Riggins! Most people don't know this but he was like Stevie Ray Vaughn growing up, everyone thought it was the older Brother that would be the big star and hardly noticed the younger brothers until they easily out shined their older brothers.
