  Afternoon,
  
  I wouldn't be that concerned with the toning at all. I have worse in Slabs grade a lot higher, not down graded at all because of the toning. I would be more concerned with the top & bottom right corners and the two Pack loading dings on the top back border. Diamond cut as well. Lets see if the experts start calling Trim job, I don't think so. My guesstimate 5.5 or 6 if you get the right grader.

  I don't think it will 4.
  
  It is a nice collector grade card though.

  You guys are tough. Nice card with decent eye appeal except for the diamond cut. PSA 5.

  Now that all the flaws have been pointed out can you really enjoy the card?

  Seems like I'm in the minority here but my guess is that card will end up a 3. Yes, it will be a 3 with nice eye-appeal, but 3 nonetheless.

  It all depends on the price -- I think about $300 is fair value.

  I'm guessing PSA 2 as it appears the "wrinkle" at the bottom right breaks the surface akin to a tear... A generous grader can still pop it in a PSA 5, but given the other issues, I wouldn't be shocked with a PSA 2.

  my opinion, since you asked..pass. I don't think it's a nice looking card. just don't.

  I think the card looks nice and has good eye appeal. Just don't expect it to grade too high if you are trying to flip it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was already in a lower grade PSA holder and cracked out because someone thought they could get more for it raw......

  It's a nice looking card, but gradewise I would think a PSA 3-4.

  the card looks great for eye appeal and at a distance looks like a PSA 5 or 6.
  I think with the wrinkle & the stain/dirt on the back. PSA 3 or 3.5 or the dreaded not gradable miscut or EOT. jmho
