Just busted a box of 80/81 Topps Basketball. I only got two Bird/Magics and one is in pretty bad shape. The 2nd one I got was with about 2 packs left and I think it is really nice but what do you guys think it would get from PSA ... Any chance it is a solid 9?

    That is one nice looking card. PSA 9? Maybe. Worth the sub anyway I would think.

    Is the black mark on the card under the n in Johnson? The top left corner looks like it may have an issue as well.

    I have seen 9s with the black mark on the bottom right so not worried about that. I added a better scan of the top left corner

    Maybe it's just the scan, but looks like both top corners have a little touch to them.

    Now I see the larger scan ... looks like it has a tiny crease. Is that the case?

    I'm not sure but also the upper right corner looks a bit fuzzy - so I'm leaning to 8 - but ya never know.

    Good luck on the sub!

    The bottom right print mark is very common on the Bird/Magic... some do not have it though.

    Does the card have a slight tilt or are my eyes all jacked up? Nice card either way. I'm betting on an 8 all the way!
    Good luck!

    Submit it. I would not think it is a 9, but possibly an 8, which will bring you some money.

    I am sure that box must have been expensive. If you get a PSA 9 on the card, will the box be worth it?
