Like the card Bill.

A 4 or 5? Really?? Thanks for the "brutal" honesty.

I'd agree- 5 at best, possibly a 4. Keep it in the holder it's in, or you can have them reholder it in the same grade to get rid of the old flip.

Very nice card but as said above graded a while back and might be a bit generous on that.

No way is that a 4 or a 5 at best. I have a PSA 6 Paige that was graded in the past year and has more corner wear than this.
This would be no worse than 6/6.5
4= alot of corner wear and possible creases.
Remember the grades are based on the set also.
So a '53 Topps set will grade differently than a '54 Topps set.

Thank you U240robert for bringing some sanity into the thread!

This wasn't part of my original assessment. I based that solely on looking at the card. Now I'm not trying to be Captain Obvious, BUT....A 7 with a qualifier, would come out a 5 at best without one...Otherwise it wouldn't have gotten the qualifier...

BTW. a 6.5 would be completely out of the question...99% of the time, the half-grade is given to a card because it has exceptional centering for it's grade...

Not always the case. My PSA 3.5 Jackie is 35/65 best case.

That makes no sense

They make no mention of that at all on the grading standards page, and the whole point of TPG is to base the grade almost exclusively on the technical merits of the card. They do make some allowance for eye appeal, but claim that it's uncommon.

With that corner, I just can't see that as being any better than EX. And that's ignoring the centering.
