This was an early birthday present to myself. Just came today and I was blown away by it, in hand. I have never been happier with a card purchase than this one. As happy, yes, but never happier.
I suspected it was sitting a little crooked in the eBay scan, which it was (this is the eBay scan; I am far too lazy right now to do another). I would bet the farm this card-- if cracked and resubmitted-- will come back an 8. In this rare case I think I have to do just that. I've had mis-graded 7s go to 9s in the past, and this card seems as much a lock as those rare instances were. Over the moon with this Mick! Last edited by MattyC; 09-12-2015 at 01:45 PM. |

I remember opening an 88 Fleer wax box with my brother, which our father bought us. Aside from that fond memory, I have always found that set so nice to look at. The Donny from that set is one of my favorite cards of all time. The Smoltz is a great photo, and the sig looks great on it.

Thanks Matt, was pleasantly surprised when I opened the envelope today...looked better in person than it did in the EBAY scan.

I sure would not have that card regarded - PSA has been disappointing me that way this year and I would hate to see you loose a 6.5 - be satisfied...that is a great card! But that's just my opinion...I'm happy with my PSA-5. . .

Just got this one in the mail for my '52 set. I've NEVER seen this one so well centered, and paid a hefty premium for it, but totally worth it.

^^^Beautiful card! '52s almost look unnatural when they're centered that perfectly.
