Matt it's all a matter of what your eye looks for I guess, to me that looks like a well-centered card that I would call slightly off top to bottom.

My parents grew up in West Hartford and are close in age to this guy...not being that big of a town in those days, they likely knew him. This guy would have been a good friend to have.

The more a card will cost me, the more demanding I get with centering

Seems to me the reverse is true too -- the more demanding you get with centering, the more a card will cost you.

I think that 8.5 is better than the last one. If I remember correctly the centering and tilt was even more off. An awesome find with a lot of high grade cards. I don't imagine we will hear about too many finds as nice as this one.

The 8.5 is a joke in my opinion. . When you see a 8.5 at first glance the card should be a 9 until further close inspection. This at first glance is no way close to 8.5 centering/top to bottom on it’s best day is a 8 max!. They’re all over the map with their grades It’s all in whom submittes the cards, Heritage. Heritage would never sub these cards for this person if it wasn’t already agreed that the cards would be in their upcoming auction. PSA wants the publicity.

At the National This year people will be flooding the PSA line to submit cards like junkies waiting in a methadone line. Wait till they announce their onsite pricing at nation. Sure people will Bit*h and complain on here about the price but they will still bite the bullet and get in line. Money makes people do silly things. Pop Report and Registry =marketing genius, people will continue to drink the Kool Aid. I choose to stay out of this rigged game.

As much as I like those Mantle's, I also like those Campanella, Wilhelm and other high number cards!

I am looking forward to seeing that bright yellow Leaf Robinson closer. It looks amazing.
