Can you give me details about the card? Creases? Overall defects on the card? It's just hard to tell from the pics. I'm a big fan of grading, so personally, I would get it graded just for protection and looks alone. From the pics you posted and without knowing further details, it looks in the "4-5" range. If it has creases, that grade would most likely dip a little.

Heres a better crop pic of it.
From what i see with the naked eye..no creases.
I do not have a loupe.magnify glass to see anything in detail.
Looks like a tilt maybe??
I have it in a screw down holder for now.

Ragged edges apparently play no affect on grading with psa:

very nice...first thing i looked for, was there any frosting?
I seen where people punch the slab, and put in a cheaper card.

Is that a reference to what I posted? I am sure that isn't an altered case, that came from the PSA website.

No, the case isn't altered. When the grading companies grade O-pee-chee, they are more forgiving because that is how they were cut in Canada. Apparently they never changed their blades resulting in these rough edges. So the grading companies grade them accordingly. I'm not sure i love it, but it is what it is.

I would definitely grade the Namath. I think it's in the five range (give or take a grade) if it does not have any creases or indentions and such. This is my opinion based on your pic.
