CW, I have 5 Fidrych's that look just like your ungraded one. If I ever pay PSA 10 money for a card, I think the '77 Fidrych will be the one.
I just always thought he should have had a '76 card since that was his only good, injury-free year. Every Spring Detroiters would get their hopes up that he'd be coming back, and every year he'd get hurt again. Of course later they found out what his injury was (rotator cuff maybe?) and discovered that, today, he would have had surgery and been fine. Imagine a healthy Fidrych with Jack Morris on those great 80's Tiger teams.

You can never have too many Fidrych RCs, Scott.
 A PSA 10 worthy of the grade would be a fantastic card. The last one I saw sell on eBay was weak for a 10 and it sold for $2K. Finding a nicely centered 9 can be tough enough.If you have a chance to post your cool custom '76 Fidrych in full size, please share it. Great idea to make one!

Photo is from a 35mm slide taken by my dad - one of about 50 he took for the story. Pretty sure Topps also used 35mm slides for their cards in this era so I always thought it had the right "look". It's the font for his name that was tough to match. Oh the time you can waste playing with photoshop....
