As far as the grade bump goes, I don't see them giving this a 7.5. It's much more likely to get an 8 or rejected than it is to get a 7.5. The .5 bumps are generally only given out for centering eye-appeal with PSA, though not always. SGC might give it a 7.5, but not PSA. Either way though, this card is as good or better than every single 1961 Fleer PSA 8 I've been able to find in my research so far of both Wilt and Oscar. I really do think they got this one wrong. They've been remarkably harsh in recent months, especially with vintage. My hope is that submitting it for review means it makes it to the desk of someone like Reza or Steve, but perhaps that's wishful thinking? I don't know.
