Yes, you can upgrade an 8 to a 2.5...
Was looking at 7s and 8s, and then along comes a 2.5 with centering and a front that smokes all of them. Nothing centered was out there. Just a barren wasteland of OC cards. I mean, finding this card centered is a rugged mission.
Somewhere out there, someone must've come across the ebay listing and was like, "That much for a 2.5?! That's insanely overpaying!" Meanwhile, to me, it was an absolute deal. I happily threw the VCP grid all out of whack to get this freak into the collection. Minor staining on back is what drops it.
Thank you, technical grading guidelines!
This card is one of my all-time favorites; I remember being a boy, and something about the composition of the photo just struck me.
This is Exhibit A in why I will always rather pay a fat premium for a great-looking, lower-graded card, than pay VCP average for an average-looking higher graded card.
