1980 Topps Rickey Henderson RC PSA 10 or BGS 9.5/10 card for review.

I submitted this card last week at the $85 Super Express level because of the potential value and also because I had my tin foil hat on thinking that they might not grade it 9/10 if submitted at the $18 level. It came back an 8, which I guess shouldn't come as a surprise because it has just the slightest fraying along the upper left edge near the corner and the tiniest touch on the lower left. Both of these issues are no worse than the corner touch you referenced above in the Dmitri Young card that graded a 10. I think it's perfectly centered front and back, top to bottom. Color and everything else looks great to me but I'm no expert. Good luck in your quest to hit the lottery w/ this card.

Nice card regardless of numerical grade, but obviously a PSA 10 would be a very welcome result.

Two other things to look for on this card are surface scratches and surface bubbles, which are fairly common on this issue. They can be really tough to see in scans, with surface bubbles sometimes only being evident when you hold the card at an angle with a flashlight shining on it.
