The card looks mint to me and that is the only fault, if you can call it that, that I see.
It does amaze me however the price gap between the grades. That is something I never dreamed would be so drastic.
My Robinson doesn't come close to that copy, which of course is disappointing, but I am still glad, to say the least, that I own one.

PSA 8 Robinsons were going for $9000 to $1100 in 2015...heck i even had one to sell on net54.....there really has been only that one lone sale of 25k range ..so i wouldnt go out running thinking the card is worth that.....theres a not great centered one on Heritage going for auction which i assume will go for less than the one he bought on Heritage earlier but we shall see
whats amazing is the 1954 topps kaline psa 8 was a 2000 card in 2015 and now its been setting new records on every sale...in the 7000 range now..sort of shadowing the ernie banks card
condition and POP is everthing for when the money jumps between conditions.....there was discussion on this with the green cobb at the psa 5 level.........
ricky henderson rookie psa 10 is a 20k card, and how much is a psa 9 rickey? probably a llloooot less......for cards in the 1980s..a lot of times its only the PSA 10s are the level when money pops..
