The genius -- intended or not -- of Joe Orlando.
I have been corrected. The registry was Rocchi, with help from Baker -- not Orlando.

(The sound of hurried footsteps all across the country as everyone runs with hope in their hearts to the 1975 Topps set binder to check out what condition their Dave Roberts card is in.)

I only wish I had graded 10s of cards that were worthless when I was a kid so I could sell them and buy HOFers between 1909-1914 all day long. |

I wanted the 1975 PSA 10 Jose Cruz card for my PC but not for $33k.

The obsession to own a "10" is becoming crazy. Why??

Imagine being enough of a moron to pay $33k for a PSA label in plastic w/ a “near mint” card in it. Pathetic and embarrassing.

I have a graded notables/stars/HOF Cubs collection and I'm out there happily snapping up 8's of autos and rare(ish) variations for next to nothing.
Except for players I'm excited about, I just need a card for the collection. The newer collectors and some people that only want the high-end treat 8's like they're trash and in many cases they can go for the price of the raw version. Go figure...card still looks amazing. |

Not centered enough for a 10, that's for sure.

Tell me how you think this card does not meet PSA's centering standards.
Quote:
Add: I decided to blow it up in paint and calculate the centering on the front. Left border: 266-194 pixels = 70. Right border: 1564-1499 pixels = 65. That's like 52/48 centering. Maybe it's an optical illusion for you? I do agree that it's not a Gem Mint 10, but for these reasons: 1) Blue ink splotch PD on right side in green field. 2) Cyan alignment way off (as seen in PADRES). 3) Other minor blemishes in print quality (blue streak halfway between border and D in DAVE), plus white fisheye under R.

As far as blemishes, there is also a fish-eye on the bottom right corner. All in all I wouldn't pay $33k for the card. |

I wouldn't trust cards like this not to be microtrimmed. Even back then, big bucks for getting them into the 10 holder, and no expense to buy them. I am guessing a lot of these very low pop common 10s are altered. Just my opinion.

I love it when the cucks of the hobby fight over trash cards like these. So funny

None of it matters -- whether it's trimmed, whether it's deserving of the 10, whether broken out of the slab and laid next to 10 of the same card that used to be 9s you could tell the difference (and I bet you could not). As I say, the flip is now the commodity.
