Any opinions on what grade PSA would give if submitted today.
IMO it would be lucky to receive a 7.

I would say a 7…
it lookslike it has some sort of weird artifact on the surface way down by the lower right corner.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Yeah, or less. Label is from Jurassic Park era.

Centering 9 or 10, edges look fine 9 or 10. corners look sharp 9. surface is the difference for everyone right now. Psa gives it an 8, Sgc 8.5? looks like a decently nice card to me. Should it be a 9? i would go with 8.5.
I must contest. Poor registration, stray print flaws, jelly doughnut on his cap. Reasonably, not close. This was a very early attempt at grading. Massive fail.

Along with the aforementioned print issues, the streak running horizontally across the ANG of Angels jumps out at me. I'd say 6 or 6.5 today. Unless all these issues are on the slab of course.
As someone who subbed a lot of 77 & 78 Ryans that's a 6 all day. Depending on the back it might get to a 5. 77s also have serious issues on the surface so those are all horrible to grade.

That cert series is from Mike Baker...
I think it could get a 7 (PD) or if lucky, an 8 (PD), mostly due to the yellow registration in the flag and the other print defect line across Angels. Those would of course be equal to a 5 NQ or 6 NQ, relative to the registry scoring.
Rookie mistake.

IMO your way off on this one big guy. This is nowhere near a 9 in any way. I think a 7 would be very fortunate and if I had a gun to my head and had to predict the actual grade I would say a 6.
PSA 6
I'm with you. This looks like a 5 or 6.
The real answer is one cannot tell just from an image of the front of the card but just based on that image, it would be much lower than a 9 today.
It goes to show you the conundrum we're in.
Yeah. Sad. I love the 77 set so much and used to love ripping those. These days I wouldn’t even consider that with the poor cardboard quality and how grading is.
If you ripped an FASC box I’d bet there wouldn’t be a 9 anywhere in that box with current grading standards. You’d just get a bunch of 5-7s with maybe a couple 8s.
maybe. i said sgc 8.5 psa 8.. the printing problems are an issue. but the centering edges and corners look good.
The top corners look a bit soft to me for a PSA 9. There also appears to be a noticeable chip in the card stock on the bottom left edge on the right side.

this bad boy would get jackhammered today
Mr. Magoo wouldn't even give it a 9
cinco o seis
Ok, but I asked Stevie Wonder and....oh, nevermind.
