I'm still trying to figure out why the third one got a MC qualifier. Here's the back.

Has to be a mistake. It's not even OC let alone MC. Maybe you could send it in and wait a year to have them regrade it.

X2. Maybe they were hoping he'd Please Submit Again.

That aside, I was told this card, Marv Rickert, was a fairly tough card to find in great shape with a black back? Can anyone confirm that?

My Marv Rickert BB still sports the sticker on the toploader it came in several years ago (price has been Photoshopped out). Looks like I got a relative bargain compared to today's asks.

That's a nice copy, Dave.
I remember when I was chasing mine down how difficult it was to find a decently centered one and one without the top corner pulls like you can see in the top right of mine. I've looked occasionally for an upgrade but there doesn't seem to be a lot and if there is, it is usually selling for a premium.
I guess I answered my own previous question.

I have no idea what I paid for my Rickert or how difficult it was to find, but clearly, I wasn't concerned about centering when I bought it. This is one of the few cards I have posted so far where the T/B centering is off. Usually, it has been the L/R centering that is the problem. Actually, the centering on the red back is decent for a change for me.

Is the right side not cut straight? It looks curved towards the top.

Maybe, but it seems to be straight in person. The curve at the top right seems to result from the angle of the scan, since you can see the same thing on a lot of my cards (looks similar to the black-back Rickert above).

PSA's MC description: Cards that exhibit an atypical cut for the issue, which may result in portions of the subject card being cut off or more than one card being visible due to it's oversized nature will be designated MC. https://www.psacard.com/resources/gradingstandards


Imo, Bob's card doesn't display any of those attributes. Clearly, and just my opinion again, PSA messed up.

It wouldn't be the first time.
