Opinions on this 55T Koufax
 
Thoughts on this 55T Koufax? With the number of reprints out there, I'd really like second opinions. Thanks.

While I'm far from an expert, I'd say this one's good.

I'm no expert but if Grifters are now simulating warps in cards they're taking it to a new level.

That's the real deal. Nice card.

UKCardGuy 02-20-2021 10:40 AM

Thanks guys.

Nice, original card. But that notch in the border will keep the grade pretty low, I’d think.

UKCardGuy 02-20-2021 01:23 PM

Thanks. I was thinking it might grade at VG. Is that too optimistic?

Also has a surface wrinkle near the top..

VG+ is completely reasonable. Good eye appeal.

Pretty Koufax, that’s one of my all time favorite cards. I particularly like that it is a free range specimen. I also seem to recall that it was a 56 Koufax Brian Rusk found in the case at Needful Things? Thankfully, I have both versions already and neither cost me my soul. However, at today’s prices a collector may have to pay that dearly for a nice one.

I think will grade a 2.5 a good eye appeal one. Just a couple crease won't give a higher grade

jchcollins 02-21-2021 12:34 PM

It's legit. Nice card!

I think that is a PSA 3 all day long. With the eye appeal of this card, maybe even 3.5.
