As for what I would grade it, hell if I know. I'm just back into the hobby after a "break" since the junk wax days, so I'm trying to catch up to modern grading practices. From what I've seen, the TPGs are so inconsistent and the differences between one grade and the next one up or down are so small/subjective/arbitrary that the whole thing seems like, er, a house of cards. I'd probably grade it as "really nice looking, would have been NM in 1989." Everyone was so much happier with the condition of their cards back then! Different times, different times.

I just posted this in the Modern section. Check out the Ebay listing then my card. Makes you go Hmm, doesn't it? Also, if you weren't aware, check out some of the Doctoring/Trimming posts at Blowout cards to get a real eye opener!
