Three Under Par??

The 1964 Topps #331 A.L. Bombers/Mantle is a beautiful card that is slightly pushed to the right, but there's plenty of breathing room over there. In a vacuum, the 1964 Topps Stand-Up Orlando Cepeda looks absolutely, perfectly fine. Nothing wrong whatsoever. The name plate is virtually dead centered, so it's only by examining other cards graded PSA 8 do you realize that it is just a touch too close to the bottom to warrant a straight grade. You would never think anything's amiss if you looked at the card by its lonesome. Oh well. I don't really collect football cards, but 1970 Topps #87 Bob Lilly makes the fifth HOF'er from the set that I've picked up in PSA 9 OC shape. They are generally gotten pretty cheaply, which is nice. With the thin white borders, it only takes a hair's width to deem those cards O/C (Although Bob really doesn't look all that bad, it is BY FAR the most OC of my quintet. How funny is that?)...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
