The card just sold on EBAY for $820 which seems like a lot for this card. I wonder if this is an anomaly as there's one currently for sale for $600 and the last couple sold for around $500. The card currently for sale is not well centered.

This is a very tough card to find in PSA 9 ( only 66 9's and two 10's). There are a lot of hall of famers from this set that have less than 100 graded in PSA 9 condition. A very tough set to find MINT and centered cards.

    I wish I wouldn't had sold my OPC BVG 9.5 of this card.

    Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

    1979 Topps Baseball was manufactured for the specific purpose of causing people with OCD to experience episodes. Good looking 9.

    That's a nice looking Pops card. Beautifully centered which is tough for that card and for that set in general.

    I remember when that card was a pop 6 in PSA 9 when I was doing a Stargell set. The one the op posted a pic of is the best looking example I’ve seen.

    man, that looks like a great example to my eye!

    a smidgen off l/r at the bottom (more space to the right than the left of the Pirates pennant), but still a dandy looking card

    The bottom of the pennant NEVER looks parallel to the bottom edge of the card unless the card is cut funny, and then something else looks bad.

    I agree. 1979's never look centered to me. They always look tilted even in PSA 9 or 10. This is a great card of Pops from his MVP and World Series "We are Family" year.
