You are not supposed to look below the label!

I am not liking the cut at all either and not sure I recall seeing a legit cut on any card that looks like that. It might not be trimmed but if not it certainly appears that would be a factory miscut.

An intact BVG 6.5 on ebay $7850
Even if I had all the money in the world to throw away I would get this before I would get the psa 10 pictured above ,
That thing looks terrible

6.5? Am I not seeing paper loss on that bottom right corner? Either that or a folded-up corner. I'm seeing scratches which appear to be on the card and not the slab, and is that a partial fingerprint over the W in Wilt? This card and EX/MT should be miles apart from each other in a conversation.

I like the card--just find the grade strange.

Agree 100% - I like the full borders , the centering and clean print .
Would be very attractive as a PSA 4 or 4.5

I own this card (as well as an SGC 6). You are correct, it is not an EXMT+ copy. At least not by today's grading standards at PSA. The bottom right corner is soft, but not folded-up. The scratches are on the soft inner sleeve that Beckett puts inside their slabs. They're not on the surface of the card itself. This card would grade as a 5.5 at SGC today, and anywhere between a 2 and a 5.5 at PSA depending on which grader you get on which day. But it's definitely not a 6 at PSA if cracked out and submitted today.
