is still gem-mint according to the powers that be at beckett, for whatever that is worth.
i don't have too many graded garvey cards in my collection, but i do have a psa 10 1978 topps card, and was looking for a similar version of the canadian issue. this'll do.
here's the back:
i sure don't recall o-pee-chee cards looking this nice when i was pulling them from packs in southern saskatchewan during the summer of 1978. i was disappointed back then, and still am today, that they did not translate "swung for the fences" into french. well, i hope you "balancé pour les clôtures" on this canada day!
That's the nicest looking 70's OPC card I've ever seen! I opened boxes of 1984 and 1985 OPC a few years ago and none came out as clean as your Garvey.
ReplyDeletei almost wonder if this one was cut from a sheet rather than pulled from a pack. i know psa is supposed to note cards that are cut from a panel (although they didn't with the gretzky wagner) but not sure about beckett.
