    I’m not a hockey guy but those 71/72s are some of the coolest designed cards I’ve seen. They look amazing in those black holders too. Those would almost make me want to collect that set.

    Those hockey cards look great in the SGC holders. Surprised SGC couldn't spring a 9 on at least one of those 8.5's. They seem to like the .5 designation more than PSA.

    I really thnk most cards present a lot better in SGC holders than they do in PSAs. Especially anything with good color.

    If those corners are as good as they look in the scans, other than the Hull and maybe the Clarke, the grades seem between 0.5 to 1.5 too low. Granted, I am eyeballing the centering, but definitely appears to be with stated 9 and 10 parameters. No fish eyes nor any registration issues. Makes you wonder what a 9 or 10 would look like in comparison.
    Overall congrats. Unbelievable cards either way.

    Grading standards have changed a lot since I was submitting stuff in the early 2000s. Esp on the Hull. . .I could see L/R centering keeping it out of a 9 holder. But all the way to a 7??!?!? Really?!?!?
    This is why I tell people all the time. . .buy the card, not the number on the holder.

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

    Great looking hockey cards. Topps made some great looking cards back in the 1960's & 1970's . I remember way back collecting them .

    Not that you are flipping, but what is the value difference % between SGC and PSA? I know it is usually closer for vintage....

    Definitely a bit stingy from SGC, but I haven’t ever found them particularly easy on vintage hockey.

    Very nice cards!

    I honestly don't know. If someone does please chime in.

    I have a few more to share and then its a wrap on 71 Hockey.

    The grader you got is the same guy who left Aaron, Mays, Seaver, Schmidt, etc. off of his HOF ballot just because it was their first year of eligibility.

    Seriously, on the Tony Esposito, what is the rational for it NOT being a 10? Is there some form of surface or back issue? Definitely cannot be edges, corners, centering, print marks or registration.

    SGC even has 9.5, and they felt it wasn't even worthy of that.
    Bottom left corner may have been the culprit.

    Nice hit on the Tony O! Love the three Blackhawks.

    Wow...seems a bit of a "too strick" grader mood that day...everything depends on mood (stocks market as well)...generally lower batch submissions should even out the mood factor over time...very sweet cards!!!!
