Considering there's often a 200-400% jump in price from a 7 to an 8 on key RCs like Ryan, Aaron, Clemente, Mantle, Mays, pretty much all of them actually, I tend to agree. Nice card.

I own a PSA 7 Ryan RC for the same reason.

Just got this in. T205s are still my favorites.

I like 7s but think 6s might be the best bang for the buck, always have thought that too. (as my avatar is a 7 and highest graded )

On some cards I'd rather spend even less and "settle" for a nice 6 or even 5.5.

Great cards Peter. Great examples of eye appeal trumping the technical grade.

Hard to argue with that or those cards. Often the jump from a 6 to a 7 is much less than from a 7 to an 8. But you can't go wrong either way, especially when you focus on finding a card that looks great for the grade.

Awesome looking cards Peter.
