Am loving the 76's. Wish it were more centered for you.
I had the good fortune to break a box straight from a case back in 2009, but centering was just off enough that I got shut out on 10's and many cards I thought would be 8's or 9's got 7's. Was a fun rip back then, and I hope you have an ace or two up your sleeve.
My best centered cards were team cards - which your 9.5 reminded me of. Thought they were all 10's (and the commons too).

Great results. Just to put it in context, I hit a grand slam on my recent sub. I got 9s on many white border vintage cards. However, my '62s and '71s still got hammered. When you're getting 9s on those cards, you have some pristine cards.
Comments
all of those 76 topps cards with the exception to the team cards i would keep them graded would be great in a high grade raw set. great cards.
I'm a few posts late but that Bench is a stunner! I always liked that card.
Am loving the 76's. Wish it were more centered for you.
I had the good fortune to break a box straight from a case back in 2009, but centering was just off enough that I got shut out on 10's and many cards I thought would be 8's or 9's got 7's. Was a fun rip back then, and I hope you have an ace or two up your sleeve.

I just love the 76 set. Cool as ice Reggie photo.
SGC seems to only give out high grades on team cards lol
What happened the rest of the 86 Fleer pack?
My collecting blog: http://ctcard.wordpress.com
All the 86 Fleer are at PSA getting graded in order of how I pulled them. I also kept the wrapper.
That Garvey looks awesome in that holder.
Saved the best for last.
A POP 3 with one higher.
C’mon, man.
I knew you had an ace up your sleeve! Nice hit!
Bosox1976
Thanks!!!
So Chris, what did you think of using SGC vs. PSA?
Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
Sweet Carew - congrats!
I think all in all I am a PSA guy, however the SGC holders are nice and I would not rule them out in the future. Still PSA is my favorite.
POP 67 - 8 HIGHER
If you get a Brock that's 8 or higher...
Chris…
The Delock is a PSA-9. At the minimum…an 8.5.
POP 10 - 14 HIGHER
Now Weekly….is fairly graded. But why not a 9?
I have a total of 13 to share. Building to some jaw droppers.
That is one beautiful card. Congrats UFF!
@ArtVandelay - Thanks much!!
POP 1 - 16 HIGHER
I also did an SGC submission and will probably crack and resubmit to PSA.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
I'm guessing you pulled a monster Mantle example.
Beautiful Gene Freese!
No Mantle.
POP 9 - 2 HIGHER
Now you’re talking, Chris! Congrats on a ‘62 PSA-9.
Dang those 62s are stunning in that condition!
Weirdly, I think both the 8.5s look better than the 9.
You were robbed!
All three (3) 62s are PSA-9 worthy…
POP 11 - NONE HIGHER
Great results. Just to put it in context, I hit a grand slam on my recent sub. I got 9s on many white border vintage cards. However, my '62s and '71s still got hammered. When you're getting 9s on those cards, you have some pristine cards.
