Well I finally got my hands on one at a great price :woot:, card was listed as the wrong year, Had to call on ShawnBradleyFan to help out as the seller never responded to my questions about postage, that was probably a good thing as it is now on its way to SGC to be graded as I type this, Matt was good enough to help me out there again and got the submission kit. I cant wait, think its a 20 day service so I should have it within 2 mths here in oz. Have asked Matt not to tell me what it grades at and will wait till it arrives here before I know, anyway picked it up for US$ 85.00 =D> any way here are the 2 scans I have of the card at the moment.

Thank you, Yeah I was rapt, was prepared to bid to $150, only 1 bid though, shows it pays to check in cards listed in other years, think it was listed as 70-71.
Thats why I am getting it graded about another US$50 but still well and truly picked up a bargain for my PC.
:thumbsup:

Sorry to be a negative nancy but is it just me or does the bottom front of the card seem to be either trimmed or badly off-centered? :)

Nah its just off center top to bottom. Centering is an issue with all the old tops cards. Don't know about a steal but you certainly didn't overpay for it. The seller had the listing terrible with the wrong year and no topps in the title. I dare say he could of squeezed a few more bucks out of buyers but not much. The raw examples that sell for a bit are mostly bought and graded and this card would get a PSA qualifier or lose two grades for centering before the condition is graded even. (making it prob a psa 3) That would of kept most vintage collectors away.

Great card to fill your set and one of the top ten cards in the hobby for all time :thumbsup:

Congrats on the purchase and good luck with the SGC grade.

Thanks Branko, I dont care what it grades at, just very happy to pick it up at that price, have been watching for a while and most are going above BV. watched one that had been drawn on, pin holes and creased, bad corners etc, sold for US$48 I think it was. all damage was described and still went for that, last one with 4 really scuffed corners went for US$100.00, just glad I looked at lew cards listed in other years. =D>
