Default Grading Experts..I need some advice:)

Picked this up tonight at Heritage.
Does anyone think I can bump this to a 6.5 or dare I say 7? I think this is the nicest PSA 6 I have ever seen.

Default advice

I'm no expert by any stretch, but it does look possible for a bump. However, it is impossible to give sound advice without seeing the card in full. From the view you show, it looks like a definite possibility, but honestly you need to give closeup shots on the front and back and give us any info that would sway the grade one way or another.

Beautiful card by the way!

The super humongous Heritage scans (which I always like) are here:

Front scan

Back Scan

It looks like a bump is possible, although the corners are slightly dinged, so hard to say. Great card, btw.

Great looking card!

SGC doesn't have a 6.5 grade, so stick with PSA on that.

If anything does hold it back it'll be the top right corner when viewed from the back (actually the top left corner of the card).

Thank you for the scans. I love the centering and the color of this card.

Beautiful card. With the grade of "6" under the "EX-MT", the card has been graded after PSA started the .5 grades so I would say leave it as it is. Try looking at the corners using a 20X or 30X loup and you'll probably see they are fuzzier than they look or there is some surface wear of some sort.

My understanding of PSA flips is that the numerical grade below the letters of the grade means the card was either graded (most likely) or just reholdered (less likely) since the .5 grading system came in. So it is quite likely this card was already considered for a 6.5 and given the 6 it has.

If I was looking for cards to "bump", I'd be buying ones with the number grade on the same line...they pre-date the .5 system.

Cheers,
Blair
