[luciobar1980]

Hey guys, I'm pretty psyched as this looks really nice and is my first submission to SGC. Should be getting the grades any day now. Will reveal grade as soon as I do. First person to post the correct grade wins... congratulations. :p

[AGuinness]

Dang that’s a beauty! I’d venture 8.5...

If anyone else submitted it, an 8 minimum. If I submit it, a 5.:rolleyes: It's a real beauty!

[pclpads]

Nice finally seeing one w/o all the black print schmack. GL with the grade.

I will guess trimmed because that is what they would grade it if I sent it in.

[stlcardsfan]

Beautiful card!

NM+ 7.5

[RedsFan1941]

5.5 or 6

[swarmee]

As pointed out in the first thread on the pre-war board, if that is a surface wrinkle on his cap, it wouldn't qualify for a 5.

[Hammerin'Hank]

With no surface wrinkles that is solid 8.5 and could get a 9.

If a surface wrinkle is visible under a black light then your looking at 5.5. As a collector, these are favorite cards b/c I can afford them. They look like and 8 or 9 with the naked eye.

[luciobar1980]

I looked the card over pretty thoroughly so I feel like I would have seen any surface wrinkle, but who knows. We shall see! I’ll post the grade when I get it!

[KCRfan1]

Half grades do not get issued often. I believe the card grades at an 8, assuming no creases or wrinkles and the card measures correctly.

I agree. I am trying to imagine what would improve that card-- the flaws are miniscule. The area of concern for the surface wrinkle appears in some examples on ebay, at least to my eye, and therefore is likely just a printing anomaly.

[swarmee]

Well, there are some touched corners as well, seen from the back. Centering is top notch, though.

[Rookiemonster]

Sgc 84 is my guess

[pawpawdiv9]

With the 'red raspberries' and print line going across...print defects.
Guessing a 7

[Hxcmilkshake]

Rough cut on bottom, touches on corners, some minor print stuff on front.... 7

I'll guess an 86 due to the light corner touches.

Very nice card regardless!

[glynparson]

I'd expect an 84 from the looks of the scan and be happier if higher sad and reexamine if lower. Honestly a lot of print issues (which is common) on that copy ( i know its less than many but it still has them) very light touches to corners, rough cut is not a detractor for the grade so i like that it has a slight rough cut.

[Peter_Spaeth]

I'm just not seeing whatever you guys are seeing that would bring it down to a 7 based on corners.

[1963Topps Set]

What do we win???

[luciobar1980]

K guys, any last guesses!? I should find out the grades tomorrow or next day, I hope.

Having seen it in hand, I think it is a real beauty and was thinking it could even be an 8 or better. I really only saw one slightly significant corner touch and the obvious rough factory cut. Speaking of which, how much weight do you reckon will SGC give to that? Personally it doesn't really bother me, assuming that it is indeed a factory cut, which I'm sure has to be. It almost gives it an even more raw, pristine-off-the machine look. Ok, that's maybe a stretch. :p

Anyways, I'm gonna cross my fingers and guess an 88/8...

[luciobar1980]

F it, I'll mail the first/closest correct guesser a few cool cards. No stinkers, promise!! :D

[Peter_Spaeth]

Touche' mon frere :p

[profholt82]

82, but I hope it's higher.

[Marchillo]

Sgc 84

[luciobar1980]

K guys, got the grades this morning! Matt at SGC called me to authorize a higher charge because, the Yaz graded...

an 88/8!!!

I’m psyched.

[luciobar1980]

You win! I’ll PM you, have a few cool cards to send you.

If Gashousegang declines or doesn’t get back to me, I’ll go to the next.

Excellent. As I posted, I had no idea what people going on about the corner wear were talking about. From what my old eyes could see there was no way those corners were two grades below Mint.

[swarmee]

Very cool; guess that isn't a surface wrinkle, just a reflection.

[ALR-bishop]

Congrats

Not sure about SGC, but with PSA very light surface wrinkles on 5's are more common than you would think. I've seen plenty of them.

It’s a beauty regardless of grade, but that is great news. Congrats! I’d be proud to have that one in my collection!

What was the higher charge for? Return shipping insurance?

[Rookiemonster]

Awesome ! Congrats
