    I always question why a card that nice isn't graded, so I'd be suspicious. That said, I can't telll if it's trimmed or not. If not, it looks like it could be an easy 7, but my bet would be that something is amiss.

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I would not buy that card.

    The so called "edge peeling" is close to being "paper loss."

    Better to buy one already in a PSA 6 slab.

    I don't like the chipping on the back. I am thinking 5 if it is good?

    cards to be graded myself,sorta catch 22 I guess,still am going to stay away,thanks.

    High dollar raw card on ebay = trouble. A card like that should be in a slab. Seller is leaving money on the table. Buyer is at extreme risk. JMHO.

    That's not necessarily so. Great Lakes Auction house makes a living off cracking udergraded slabs with hidden flaws and selling them raw. This could have quite possible been a PSA 4 with a hidden surface wrinkle that was cracked out to maximize value?

    avoid....you can pick up an otherwise PSA 5 with a back wrinkle for what that card will eventually sell for
    Kiss me once, shame on you.
    Kiss me twice.....let's party.

    The seller looks to sell mostly raw cards, though he has some mid grade PSA cards. Probably best to buy slabbed if you have doubts.
