Look closely all...The graded Parker and the raw Parker in this post are obviously not the same card.
They're not the same card for any of the posts.
The graded card in each post is from my registry set.
The raw card shown in each post is the best example that I found raw out of 40,000 to 50,000 1975 Topps cards purchased on eBay and placed into my #1 raw set of the 15 raw sets that I still own.
Maybe it's of interest only to me, but with all of the talk of how every gradable card is already in a holder, I just thought I'd show that there are/were some really nice examples still out there in the wild. Also, I thought people would like to see how some print defects occur repeatedly or how difficult some issues are if the card shown was the best that I could do out of 50 or 80 or whatever examples that I collectively had to choose from.
There is no intent at deception, as I thought I'd made that clear in the beginning.

That little yellow booger on Garvey's nose that you see on the raw card is a recurring print dot that shows up on many copies of the Garvey.

That red/yellow border combo is perfect for Cardinals and Reds cards.
collecting O-Pee-Chee (OPC) baseball cards
also collecting US & Canadian junk silver
Orioles, too. I believe I mentioned earlier in the thread that the red/yellow Brooks Robinson is one of my favorite card in the set.

So many Porn Staches displayed in the set
It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)
Not even a minute do I buy the whole buh buh buh I'm a man-child japery - Me (2025)
No one remembers Bahnsen, but that guy had a legit career.
