1975 Topps grading help please
5 Attachment(s)
I just bought a high grade 1975 Baseball set. This was made from vending about 30 and remained untouched until today. I did pay a bit high but I think it was worth it. Please help to grade the key cards below. All of the set have the same corners and centering. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you, Robert |
Yowza!!!! Those are some sweet cards. The Brett should grade extremely high, but that large elbow print mark could possibly knock it down or (maybe?) give it a PD qualifier. Not sure about that. The Ryan and Aaron have noticeable print marks, too. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but it's just something to keep in mind when you embark on a grading journey. Good luck!!

I have a Brett RC that I thought was at least an 8 maybe better, but has the exact same fish eye on the elbow. Came back a 7. Of all your cards I like the Yount. Very hard to find centered.
|
The Yount, to me, presents the nicest. I'd see an 8.5 or a 9 as possible. The bottom edge on the Brett is a little rough, so maybe a 7-7.5. Aaron could be an 8 and the Ryan a 7 based on the print defects and centering (fisheye on Ryan looks kind of like a pinhole at first glance based on location). Carter might be an 8 as well based on T/B centering and some coloring issues. Really nice cards. Good luck. Did you measure them? I know in some years that vending were normally/sometimes cut short at the factory.

On the Brett card's right border (above the purple), there's a thin, curved, white line. Is that a bump or something? Is the edge slightly pushed up there or is it just a scanning anomaly?
|
I figured it was a print defect or a scratch.
|
that is printer anomaly.
|
Thanks for the responses everyone.

Very nice cards. '75 Topps is usually rife with print problems. PSA and SGC don't usually discount heavily for one errant fisheye, in my experience.
