    It has a slight tilt... a cert starting with a zero, graded may moons ago, would be a psa 9 today.

    It does appear to be short (side-to-side). Also…agree it would not grade a PSA-10 today.

    That upper right corner (near the #482) on the back looks too soft for this card to be in a 10 holder.

    When you scan the card you can see a small circle on the top left of the card. This is an indention. I have several. I have one that's a psa 9. I have one without that's a 7. it should be reversed.

    Having a Henderson 10 is my grail. I'd love to have one. Rickey was so iconic and I love this card. My favorite rookie of any player.

    I'd even take this one.

    Very few vintage cards fill the holder completely left to right. This card looks no different size-wise then dozens of others I own.

    Are you referring to this?

    This isn't an indentation, but I'm not speaking to the quality.

    I'm not speaking to the quality, but that corner looks fine to me.

    I'd even take this one.

    Even if it was trimmed? I had a card get returned recently MINSIZERQ at 2.482 inches and this is (at best) 2.454 inches. So what is the minimum size allowed?

    I would take it. Even 10s aren't 100% perfect and I can take a few dings on this card. If I were a bidder (not happening) I would try to get it on the lower end of the 10 range, but would still buy it.

    Slick maneuver having it re-slabbed to throw off the rich boy rubes

    i am not speaking to the quality of this particular card, but keep in mind that PSA 10's are not "perfect" cards. there is no such thing.

    ^ Given the 0 series it is certainly plausible

    @bgr

    I won’t dispute your measurements but honestly it doesn’t look that small to me. One edge of the card is right up against the rail and the other is only a shade away from the rail. What size do you measure this card as?

    That same cert has sold twice in the last couple years, 132K & 120K, I would expect a continued downward trend for this card. But it's an auction and you never know.

    It is. I have several with them and you can feel it when you touch it. I have one that doesn't have it. It is some type of cardboard issue.

    I don’t have any means of measuring it precisely. I just wondered what your way would show since it doesn’t look that much wider than the Henderson to me in terms of unoccupied horizontal space in the slab.

  • olb31olb31 Posts: 3,706 ✭✭✭✭✭

    bgr - agreed. but i have a nice 8 without it. looks better than my 9 with the circle. shouldn't be like that.

    It's good to know some things haven't changed. Even back when I was building graded sets in the very early 2000s people were arguing over over-graded 10s :)

    Back then I always felt that a 10 was a grader having a good day. Then and now, I'm not convinced a grader can go back and differentiate between a 9 and 10 more than 50 or 60% of the time in a blind test.

    So full of action, my name should be a verb.
