tonights Blowout tv 1973 Topps box break

[HadWayTooMuch]

I think more people made a profit on Prospect Rush then will make a profit on this break!

Not that it isn't cool to watch though.

[Pearce77]

I don't know much about vintage. Why was the centering/quality control so bad? What years did Topps improve the quality?

Ed Karnepool "card might be worth grading" he says. Hopefully PSA doesn't turn the card over.

The BOBBY MURCER…..oh no "it's got a bit of a stain on it" he says
Dwight Evans rookie…..nice…….really off center but nice

[HadWayTooMuch]

The butchering of the names is making this really tough to watch.

Dave "Gee Us Tee." Really?

[HadWayTooMuch]

Doesn't PSA call a card "OC" if the back is off centered?

He just called the Bonham card a possible PSA 10 and the card is 90/10 on the back.

Anyone?

He's now asking for donations to eat the gum.
An $11k donation has already been made sir.

He's trying to paint a glass half full picture of the train wreck we're watching.

This is first time I've heard Houdini. Guess I thought he would sound like Darth Vader.

maybe they can put the cards back in the packs, iron them shut, have BBCE reseal it and do it again on SCF.

Gary Mathews rookie
Willie McCovey 75\25 front , back is worse
Allie Rodriguez " a liiittttlllee bit off centered" the picture is off the top of the card lol


$17 a spot
$44 a card people

[HadWayTooMuch]

The person with Clemente can almost break even with 2 hellaciously off center back cards pulled.

[HadWayTooMuch]

Can someone answer my question about grading. If the back is 80/20, can a card be a PSA 10?

[BigDan502]

$458 Pack 15

Roberto Clemente #2, this one has a ding and the back is off center
Willie McCovey #2

GEM-MT 10: Gem Mint
A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card. Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss. A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn't impair the overall appeal of the card. The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.
MINT 9: Mint
A PSA Mint 9 is a superb condition card that exhibits only one of the following minor flaws: a very slight wax stain on reverse, a minor printing imperfection or slightly off-white borders. Centering must be approximately 60/40 to 65/35 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.
NM-MT 8: Near Mint-Mint
A PSA NM-MT 8 is a super high-end card that appears Mint 9 at first glance, but upon closer inspection, the card can exhibit the following: a very slight wax stain on reverse, slightest fraying at one or two corners, a minor printing imperfection, and/or slightly off-white borders. Centering must be approximately 65/35 to 70/30 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.

Will it get the "OC" label if it's 90/10 on the back?

PSA does have qualifiers. 70-90 sets had of problems. But the 73 was a special set as it had the last Clemente card

really pumping the checklist at this point in the break.
The checklist might be the hit of the break so far.

Mickey Rivers

this break is reminding me of the Jason Bay contract

Dont think it gets an OC tag, but will be graded down

[BigDan502]

Reggie Jackson ….wax
Ryan \ Carlton …..acknowledgement of bad centering

It's the Len Bias of group breaks

I think it's wrong that he's misleading people saying a card might be a PSA 10 if it's 90/10 or worse on the back.

He's not a professional grader. How is that any different than people's eBay listings stating "mint"?
