1975 Topps Mini Fred Lynn rookie - The grade is in - SCAN ADDED

nam812 · September 26, 2008 1:55PM

I started a thread a few months ago about ripping some 1975 Mini wax packs, but it kinda got derailed so I made this new one. I finally got around to sending this card in to PSA, and the grade is back. Some of the guys in the other thread (myself included) thought the card was an 8 or an 8.5, but PSA thought otherwise.

I will scan it in the holder once it is in hand.

MINT 9 - 1975 TOPPS MINI 622 ROOKIE OUTFIELDERS

Very nice card regardless of grade. Congratulations on the 9.

And I'll be darn if Poquette wasn't sporting a New Era 59Fifty 30+ years ago. Who knew?

Congrats Nick. I assume it's a flip card for you? I didn't think the T/B centering would allow a 9, but good for you anyway. Hope you pay for another rip with it!

Thanks Mike. And yes, im not keeping Mr Lynn. The title of the thread would have been Terry Whitfield rookie, but no one would have opened it.

Nice going, Nick!! Don't recall what I guessed the grade would be when you first scanned this card, but it certainly looks better than an 8. The slight tilt slightly detracts from the eye appeal or this would be a straight 9 all day long, IMO. Congrats!!

I'm happy this happened to you.

+1 for Ed Armbrister, World Series hero.

VitoCo1972 · September 26, 2008 2:40PM

What's VCP on that thing? I'd have to guess between $250/$350...just a shot in the dark.

Looks like 4sc flooded the market and the price is dropping.

We wont know for over a week because if there were any recent buy it nows, they take that long to get entered into the grid.

As an avid 75 mini collector, I'd gladly pay a premium for Nicks' PSA 9 than one from the barbershop...

Edit: spelling

Congratulations on getting that 9. Looks like its about $50, what are you going to do with all that money?

I'm starting to seriously believe this. I'm seeing a ton of suspect cards. And I mean a ton of cards from all years. Honestly, and I'm not joking, something is going on and it actually worries me about the hobby. Straight up; PSA better start cleaning this crap up.

Nice work Nick.

With regard to the comment below - the difference is, Nick's is legit while the others are likely "mini minis".

Nick

All I am seeing is a red x. Are you seeing the scan okay?

nam812 · October 6, 2008 9:12AM

I see the scan Matt, but I am having trouble logging into photobucket. Maybe that has something to do with it.

zep33 · October 6, 2008 9:15AM

nice card Nick

lawnmowerman · October 6, 2008 9:21AM

That sucks. Not for you of course

I still can't see it.

Bosox1976 · October 6, 2008 9:29AM

Sweet Freddy Nick. Way to go.

Downtown1974 · October 6, 2008 9:35AM

Very nice card Nick, congrats!

CDsNuts · October 6, 2008 11:57AM

Thanks for the 2nd scan Nick. We weren't sure what the card looked like from the first scan, but now that it's slabbed we can see it better.

Is there a night of the week you don't drink?
