Grade my Lou Brock RC

[KCRfan1]

I would look at other 8's that are out there from 1962, and see how your card measures up. Be honest about card condition, and have a critical eye. You will know fairly quickly if your card might be able to land an 8 or not.

I did try to do this. Unfortunately you can't always take out bias. I felt that about 80% of the 8's were better, and maybe 20% were equal or worse. I obviously only was able to "grade" the corners, edges, and overall eye appeal. I think if I regraded it, there's a decent chance of getting a bump to 7.5, and a slim to an 8. I hardly doubt that I it would ever grade lower than a 7.

I might go with Hammerin' Hanks advice and just send the card in with a bottle of scotch.

LOL! You may get lucky and Don Draper will grade your card!!!!!! Good Luck, and let us know the results if you send it in.

first and foremost, gorgeous card. for the record i did say 7(st) ; )

it does appear that there is some sort of stain or black dot pd on the left side of lou as compared to other cards. centering and corners are absolutely crisp. i think your only issue is that slight pd or whatever those dots may be keeping in mind that psa standards seem to have gotten stricter lately, so i'm not sure if cracking and resubmitting would be best on this one. i do like the bottle of scotch idea and regardless what "they" say, you have an absolutely beautiful lou brock rook and i would be proud as hell to have her in my collection!!!

anyone remember the song: check the rhime by tribe called quest?
