PSA 2 maybe if that mark at 65,40 which matches on the back is a thing.
PSA 5.5 otherwise.
Best Guess.
Are you asking what we think the grade should be or what grade the card actually received?
That's a really, really nice card. Looks like perhaps a bit of paper loss on the back in the word "defeat", and whatever caused that blemish comes through on the front near Rickey's left shoulder.
I’m going to say 5 because that seems to be the grade I get on any vintage with a few issues (and some that don’t have any)…
I really hope it isn’t lower because that’s a beautiful card even as a 5.
PSA 10
Pinhole(?) Shows up on reverse on the "t" in defeat.
6.1 SWAG
Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?
self-submitted?

5
7
IMO a 6 but it probably received a 9.
It has a hole in it, so whatever the highest "hole grade" is. I'll go with PSA 1.5.
1
looking for 1988 Fournier estrellas stickers , 1985 Prism Jewel stickers , anything Jesse Owens .
Surprisingly it’s a 2 I believe.
Good eye. I had a Peter Parker the Spectacular Spiderman #1 that I bought from mile high comics in 1986 via mail order. I had never opened it until around 5 years ago to realize it had that same type of hole almost the entire comic that was almost impossible to see without opening. Shame on you mile high comics!
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Agreed but I think its a 1
what you think!
wow can't believe some of you guessed the right grade...CONGRATS...A PSA 1 never imagined it but that small bubble seems to be on both sides ...
Whole in it
yet if it had 2 or 3 holes it would still be a 1

I'd crack it out, get some Spackle and fill that hole in!
I don't think it is a hole. I think it may be an oversized object in the pulp of the cardboard, and what we are seeing is wear from the sheet being moved around before cutting and during the packing and shipping of the pack it resided in. Sort of like a coin's high spot wearing down quicker than any other part of the coin.
So, like a popped card pimple?
if you notice in the top left of this card, there is a small indention/circle. This shows up on a lot of the hendersons. I sent two of these in years ago, one with the small circle and one without. Both looked super nice and centered. I received a 9 on the one with the circle and an 8 for the one without. Made absolutely no sense to me.
There are lots of 10s in PSA slabs which have one or more of the Rickey spots.
I’ve never seen any of them raised or indented though.
@HOMETOWNSPORTS did you grade this?
PSA 1 - pinhole to the right of Rickey. “Rickey don’t like pinholes!” 🤣
yes
Does the hole go all the way through?
