    Yes, I have no idea how the Beliveau rookie isn't a 9. The corners are sharp. The centering is within PSA 9 limits. The focus is a little off but so are most. I'm happy, regardless.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Thats a Sweeeeet Beliveau. It would not look out of place in a 9 holder.

    Great, great pick up on the Orr. One of the toughest o-pee-chee Orr cards out there. That is a beauty

    With the exception of Gordie's '54 Topps card, his '63 Parkie is probably the most beautiful hockey card ever produced. (Just don't know why yours "only" received an 8.5.)

    Your Delvecchio is also a gem.

    RedHeart,

    I am in 100% agreement regarding Gordie's greatest cards. Here's my 54 Topps example:

    Sure thing, Mike. After all, as you argued, it is your icon image.

    Seriously, that Howe 1954 Topps card is my favorite card of all-time.

    1 of 1 with none higher. Spots are dust on the holder, not on the card. Very happy to finally land this one.

    1 of 2 with one higher. Has a light scratch on the front or would have been a nine. This one's reverse is better then the nine.

    Obviously someone thinks that card will cross to a PSA 6 or 6.5

    That was a lot of $$$

    Only if I find a better one!

    And it does look better than a PSA 5 BUT, has a wrinkle on the back.

    Thanks and hope you had a great holiday!
