1961 topps with green inside baseball

[zachclose21]

On Friday i email psa about the bob turley with the green inside the baseball and asked them if they would grade it the same as they would the Ron fairly. This was the response
Psa said
We have not graded one before so we do not have this variation listed. If this is recognized by the manufacturer as part of the set and is listed in the catalog then we will also recognize this and add this to the system. If you do decide to submit this then please make sure to attach a copy of the page from the SCD catalog that specifies this as a variety otherwise PSA will not recognize this.

Amazing how much power SCD has. Some of those cards turn into big dollar items if you can get in the right person's ear.

Too much ambiguity in these print variations for me.

Speaking as a Dodgers collector, there's no way I'm forking over $200 for clean Fairly example. NO WAY! I wouldn't even pay $50.

There is a thread on CU in the PSA forum about getting PSA recognition of a variation in SCD. Since Bob Lemke retired, the path is not clear. I do not think Bob would have recognized the Fairly as a variation. Although he posts here and may disagree. And the Fairly, while it is in the PSA master list, is not in SCD. So they are being inconsistent and appear to be closing the barn door.

In the CU thread a couple of folks have said they have had successful discussions with the new SCD editor, Tom Bartsch, about getting recognition of new variations. I don't know if that means there will be an update to the Standard Catalog or not, either in print or on line. Otherwise I am not sure how any new recognition gets published in the hobby for PSA, or us non graded master set collectors. Will have to check the CU thread for any updates
