I think if you want us to express an opinion on the grade, you're going to need to give us less blurry scans. Plus it would be nice to see the back.

Unfortunately, the camera on my phone sucks so that's the best that I can provide.

I sent in a recent SGC submittal that included a 1983T Tony Gywnn that I had picked out of a stack of Gwynns. Had looked at all of them with a loop and thought this one had the best combination of centering, corners and edges. Thought it would be at least an 8.

When I got it back it was a 5 and upon further inspection I could see the dimple on the surface. I'm sure it was that way from Topps. Spent so much time on the corners and centering that I just overlooked the surface.
