Maybe it's just my eyes, but the pics seem a little less than perfectly clear, which doesn't make it easy to evaluate.

But it does seem like the corners are pretty sharp, and your biggest issue is probably centering. Unless there's some hidden flaws on the surface that aren't picked up on the scans, I would guess that it might grade as high as a 7.

Naturally, if you've got some surface wear or hidden wrinkles or something not being picked up by the scan, then it could come down a bit to maybe a 5? Of course, that's assuming that you don't have something majorly wrong like re-coloring or trimming or something, in which case you would just end up with Authentic.

Look at me hedging my bets!

I guess you can report back in a few weeks when you get it back, and we'll see how it actually graded.

That looks in exceptional shape.

What's the provenance/background on it?

Looks like the two top corners are touched and one of the bottoms. It looks like a 6 or maybe 7 to me. Nice card.

My money is on 5, a fitting number for the Yankee Clipper.

Default As consensus seems to suggest

I think your range is 5-7 barring anything unseeable. I'll pick the 6 as well.

Concurred. SGC will hammer the centering on that. I'd send it to PSA. Really depends on what else is going on that we can't see, but looks like it would do really well.

It's an awesome card. But based on how SGC grades these days, I'm going to say a 3.5 or a 4.

Probably a 6 several years ago.
