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.
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."
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.

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.

A few more packs in for the Rip Stash
If there's a Washington Bullets Team Pin-up inside, I would to like to buy it to complete my set.
Every one I find has yellowing in the 1/4 folded section like this...

I checked my past pulls and have a Lakers, Celtics and Bucks. I will let ya know if I land a Bullets.
Let's try a 1957 Topps Football (NOTE the holder is mislabeled as a 58). This is my first attempt at one of these. Starr, Unitas and Hornung are the BIGGIES.

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

Tough card in high grade. POP 40 - 9 ..... Only 4 10's
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.

@UFFDAH
Chris, do you have any wrappers available from wax that you have opened?
Vintage unopened> @UFFDAH said:
That is SWEET card..awesome pull
OK. And I'll repeat, for you, a portion of my response that applies to both your original and corrected statement.
"Duh."
@Cakes - Go to the Ultra Pro website and you will see all the cases/boxes they offer. I usually just buy them off EBAY.
Thanks - Chris L
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.
Here you go Steeler Fans.....L.C. ROOKIE

For the rip stash
Riggin's Rookies...
Some more 8's including a Staubach.
Chris…
I like seeing all the fresh, pack-pulled cards!
@mintonlypls - thanks Monte!! More grades to share and more to RIP!!
Griese was a great QB but the dude looks like a high school chemistry teacher in every photo.
A few more packs in for the Rip Stash

Those 8s look like 9s to me.

I will almost be surprised if you do NOT pull a centered Bird/Magic. !!
I checked my past pulls and have a Lakers, Celtics and Bucks. I will let ya know if I land a Bullets.
Let's try a 1957 Topps Football (NOTE the holder is mislabeled as a 58). This is my first attempt at one of these. Starr, Unitas and Hornung are the BIGGIES.
Will post more tomorrow.
Good Luck!!! Hoping you pull one of the big rookies.
Centering is brutal on those.
Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
This one makes my eyes hurt...
Beautiful Centering
Congrats, Chris! Unitas...unbelievable!!! Why am I not surprised?!
At least you pulled a decent Unitas to save the day. Otherwise, that pack was brutal.
Get this man a 1952 topps pack stat!
How many packs did you open? Only 1? What's your secret??!!
Here are the last two cards from the pack....
Just this one pack. The top centering definitely had me nervous to even open it, but decided to just "go for it".
A new to the Hobby, Pack Fresh Johnny U !!!
Thanks Monte!! Always wanted to open a 57!!
