I agree, that's a beautiful card. Nearly perfect centering. Can't figure out what gave it such a low grade except it kinda looks like maybe there's some minor surface scuffing? but then that could just be the scanner too

Stunning cards, guys!

I've started to put together Cardinal team sets from 1960 and back. I know it's a common but I got this one in today and I can't stop staring at it. The card has a flawless picture and great centering. The lint spots you see are from my scanner. I tried to clean it but apparently I suck. LOL It was PSA graded but I cracked it out. Any guesses on the grade?

PSA 8? Maybe because of the one fuzzy corner. Great colors and image on that card, love it!

Thanks to SCMAVL (Jarrod) on the board for cutting me a nice deal on a card I've long wanted to add to my collection...we'll see how the "gods" at SGC treat me with this one...fingers crossed! Despite a light crease in the upper corner, I was blown away by the centering which has become my primary concern when buying cards. Thanks again, Jarrod!

Thanks guys! The corners do hold it back. They are still nice for the grade but not quite good enough. No surface scratches just slight corner wear. I might try and see if I can at least get a 6.5 out of it.

After focusing on pre-war for the past 8+ years I'm really enjoying these mid-grade 50's with great eye appeal again. Cards like this just blow me away and they are so much easier on the budget too.
