7

Not a grader but I would say a PSA 6 based on other cards i've seen? Hope that helps

I'm gonna go inflated here and guess 8. It's a beaut, other than a little bit of rounding.

tennesseebanker · September 25, 2007 10:03AM

I would say a nice 7

originalisbest · September 25, 2007 10:10AM

Well, it ain't no 6. I would say 8 goose? Nicely centered too!

jfkheat · September 25, 2007 10:12AM

Looks like a 7 to me.

Sorry LOL, no harm intended. What is the actual grade? I hope you got an 8 as well but I was just saying from what I have seen in the past, thats all.

6. chaz

I would get a 5 if I submnitted it. Others would get a 7.

samspop · September 25, 2007 10:16AM

6...undergraded, but a beautiful card....

Too much corner wear for an 8. I would say 7 but would not be surprised if a 6 with 3 of the 4 corners showing some wear. A lot of my 1957s that look like that come back a 7.

originalisbest · September 25, 2007 10:19AM

Huh. Well if that's a 6, then there sure are a lot doggier 6's out there!

SoFLPhillyFan · September 25, 2007 10:24AM

The corners would usually lead me to say 7.

Centering is good enough.

But, the upper right corner looks to have some fraying or a slight bend for a 6. In person the upper right could look worse than the scan.

Also, is that a dent or wrinkle on the left border near the bottom of the blue?

I'll say 6.

vintagetoppsguy · September 25, 2007 10:24AM

An obvious 6

psafan · September 25, 2007 10:27AM

5 PD

Goose has unleashed a mystery on us, I think. But I am logging off soon so I may have to wait until tomorrow for the answer!

Edit to say: OK, I AM surprised. But barring the hidden wrinkle factor somewhere, I'd love to own a set of "5" quality cards that looked like THAT. I'd crack 'em all and place in an album.

goose3 · September 25, 2007 10:29AM

Look up Jon!

originalisbest · September 25, 2007 10:31AM

I know, I'm posting faster than my brain (which is not that difficult.) So why the 5? Something on the back, an indentation somewhere? I have a real nice '66 Mantle that has psa 8 corners but is a 7 due to a tiny impression on one edge.

Buccaneer · September 25, 2007 10:32AM

Guess we forgot the usual caveat of "if there's a wrinkle on back...". If there is, you got to say it.

goose3 · September 25, 2007 10:32AM

I got this from a fellow member (his scan). He stated it had some tiny wrinkles.

couldn't pass it up for 50.00

goose3 · September 25, 2007 10:33AM

buccaneer, I haven't a clue where they are but wanted to make this an interesting thread.

SportsItUpCards · September 25, 2007 10:35AM

Still a great looking card, very nice! If it were up to me I would say a Mint 9 LOL but thats why i'm not a grader. No clue why a 5 but its a great looking card anyway

originalisbest · September 25, 2007 10:36AM

Well yep, REALLY nice. I would love to have a card at that price that looked like that too.

If anything, it demonstrates the frustration that is bound to happen eventually, if you're a raw card buyer buying based on even a fairly large scan!

Really appealing card, for sure. Unfortunately I have a PSA 6 '62 Clemente that is really a dog of a 6, compared to this one. Frankly, I feel mine should be in a 5 holder at best, even allowing for the always-visible wear on the corners of '62s.

Kurtman9 · September 25, 2007 12:24PM

That is one beautiful card, especially the centering and print quality.

yawie99 · September 25, 2007 1:52PM

Wow. I actually got this one right. (Hopefully PSA did as well.) I was going to say a strong 6 until I noticed what looked like a tiny wrinkle to the left of the Pirate logo. Anyway, grades ain't nuttin' but a number - nice card!
