I'm thinking of buying one of the cards below, and would like to know what the masses here on the forum think.

The top card has nice centering on the front, but poor centering on the back.
The bottom card has a little worse front centering, a little better back centering, but the white dot on Julius' elbow.

I am leaning towards buying the card on the top, but would the back centering on the top card bother you to the point of not buying it? All thoughts (even Lee's) are welcomed.

You're ugly and you have the personality of a mop.

<< You're ugly and you have the personality of a mop. >>

Duly noted, and I agree. Now I'd like your basketball wisdom please.

tombo · July 1, 2008 5:32AM

Definitely the top one. Is the pricing close?

unitas · July 1, 2008 5:32AM

Buy them Both.

Yes, it is.

I don't like the top one..May be my eyes or the scan but the right edge looks funny from the middle down.

<< You're ugly and you have the personality of a mop. >>

I respect Lee's opinion on this one Nick, go with it.

Follow your heart and use the force, it worked for Luke Skywalker, that guy blew up two death stars for Gods sake!!

Hope this helps

I'd buy a high end looking 7 and pay a premium for it, but that's just me. But if I had to choose, I'd go with the one with the print dot because the top one looks to have touched corners. Maybe it's just the scan.

The card is tiled inside the slab.

RonBurgundy · July 1, 2008 5:35AM

Top one.

mkg809 · July 1, 2008 5:37AM

Yes, you should fake your orgasms.

and5zac · July 1, 2008 5:38AM

Top one

"I'd buy a high end looking 7 and pay a premium for it, but that's just me...."

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I view that as the correct advice.

NEITHER card pictured is an investment-grade item.

In 1960, stamp-dealers used to ask buyers looking at stamps
with carpy reverses, "Are you collecting the front or the back
of your stamps?" 30-years later, it turned out that folks were
indeed collecting the BACKS. (This precludes buying the card
with the OC back.)

The AH card is a non-starter. It is lucky it does not have a Q.

Keep looking for a better one.

I like the bottom one, it's centered better, and personally that matters more than anything else.

Plus, the bottom one is old school PSA, which we all know is better (or worse).

Goot · July 1, 2008 5:44AM

Top!

Actually Luke only blew up one Death Star..

Brian48 · July 1, 2008 5:48AM

I like the Top. I hate fisheyes.

billwaltonsbeard · July 1, 2008 5:49AM

How did the Death Star blow up at the end of Return of the Jedi?? The one that was still under construction. I can't remember, since that one was my least favorite and only saw it a few times.

CDsNuts · July 1, 2008 5:54AM

Leia, Han, Chewy and the Ewoks destroyed the shield generator on Endor which left the Death Star open to a rebel attack. Game over you dark-side loving ba$stards.

billwaltonsbeard · July 1, 2008 5:58AM

Oh yeah!!! The Ewoks and their medieval weapons wiping out Stormtroopers!!! (I'm humming the Ewok celebration song as I type this....and not the new one either)

torc · July 1, 2008 5:58AM

Is that a bubbling on the R of the top one?
Bottom one looks better, even with the fish eye

billwaltonsbeard · July 1, 2008 6:01AM

There's no way that's the real Darth Vader!!

Tedw9 · July 1, 2008 6:07AM

Maybe it is just the scans, but the top one has stronger color which is better to the eye, or at least to my eye. And the bottom one has the print defect.

I say the top.

11235813 · July 1, 2008 6:09AM

Depends why you are buying the card.

If you are buying it to look at, the top one is great.

If you are buying it as an investment.....don't (at least not in PSA 8).

WinPitcher · July 1, 2008 7:05AM

I'd wait for a better copy, one that is centered front and back.

If I couldn't wait I'd get the first one.

Well the Microsoft discount dropped from 25% to 10%, so waiting will be the answer for now. Thanks for all the opinions, I appreciate it.

perkdog · July 1, 2008 7:11AM

I like the one on the bottom, the centering on the back would drive me kinda crazy, but thats just me. I think the top is centered a little bit better on the top but the back of the card is too much for my liking.

Tedw9 · July 1, 2008 8:14AM

<< Well the Microsoft discount dropped from 25% to 10%, so waiting will be the answer for now. Thanks for all the opinions, I appreciate it. >>

I'm still getting 25%.
