I think even the centering mavens might approve this one.

That's a beautiful card, Pete.

I wish, like the old Becketts did, PSA and SGC would also post the reasons why cards only got the grade they did.

From the scan, which I know doesn't tell the whole story, that card looks much nicer that a 7, imo.

Peter,

That is a gorgeous 1960 Mick. Very rare centering for the card.

John,

Great example of the '58 All Star— one of the prettiest Mick cards for sure, and pretty hard to find with such clean background printing and sharp focus. Congrats.

Finally fell in love with a 1962 Mick— the '62 has always held the same mystique for me as the '57, in terms of how challenging it is to find a strong example. Never been happier with a card purchase; this is the best '62 Mick I've seen aside from the lone PSA 10. It has a top right mild corner touch but should still have been an 8.5 all day, with such pristine edges (any edge wear really shows on the '62). Yet certainly no complaints buying it in the 8 holder. So many of the high grade Micks would never get those same Mint 9s with today's standards.

Thx, Dave. I had picked up this really sweet ball point sig '62 a little while back and dreamed of finding a high-end copy to display beside it...
