A 6.5 is probably guaranteed if they go by the strength of the corners, color, back, and registration. Also, no print lines, wax, or print dots... Because all 4 corners are untouched and mint, this card should be a 9(OC) which I would prefer over a 6.5. I can do enlarged scans to show what I'm talking about. I think if reviewed, a grade of 9(OC) probably would be the strongest bet.....I absolutely think it would get a 6.5 if asked for a straight grade as well....

Thank you for the many, many inquiries. Mantle is available.....Also, I just checked PSA SMR, and a very recent 6.5 just sold for $33,000!

Then get it reholdered as a PSA 6.5! I think everyone can agree that a non-qualifier card is always more desirable, even with a lower grade. Plus an 8 OC only counts as a PSA 5 points-wise in the registry, so you’d want that extra OOMPH for the registry buyers.
