Buy the card, not the holder...

Nice 6. There are a lot of nice 6s out there these days with the toughening grading standards and unless you have really keen youthful vision you need a loupe to see the difference from a 7.

Some sweet looking mid grade cards being posted. Here is very nice looking PSA 2 Bowman Willie Mays. The nicest 2 I have seen. Decent centering with sharp corners. Love the Palmer rookie.

Huh? How'd that Mays get a 2?

Here is my contribution. I've never seen a PSA 3 or 4 I liked as much as my 2. I did eventually also buy a PSA 5.

Hey Jason,

Not 100% sure but the back of the card has some potential issues but I'm not sure it would knock it down to a PSA 2. Here is the back. Maybe it has a miscut qualifier along with a mark qualifier and the original submitter asked for no qualifiers. That is the best I can come up with.

Pete,

You are spot on. Since PSA has tightened up their grading, there are some very nice 6's and 7's that rival 8's or 9's, and can be had for a fraction of the cost. Just buying a grade after that.
