Anyone got an idea how this would grade out? When I looked at it I thought it was pretty much perfect, but when I took photos I can see a few imperfections around the edges.

Hard to say. It would depend on which grading company graded it. Some can vary wildly with quality of grading. PSA, BGS, SGC, and CSG are the big 4. PSA, BGS and CSG will be graded fairly equally across the board. SGC I have seen to have some consistency issues, but I could say that about every single grading company.

I will say however by looking at your card it does have top left and bottom left corners issues. Some of the edges show chipping and and I'm sure that they aren't as clean if it were coming out of a pack. The front looks centered fairly ok left to right, maybe a little more off top to bottom. The back looks clean of any wax, but does show some centering issues I highlighted about on the front of the card.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a grade as low as a 3 and as high as a 5. And 5 would be generous IMO. But since I am not holding the card in my hand, take it with a grain of salt.

Wow, really? I looked at some pictures and was guessing it would be a 7 to 8. Maybe that's wishful thinking, though. It looks great in person, but the photos seem to highlight the rough edges.

I appreciate your neutral perspective, and I'll cancel the order for my new Porsche.

It looks like I shouldn't have studied it so much as a child. A grade of 10 would have been worth setting it back.

The average pricing for a Grade 10 is over $77,000. I'm glad that I got $77,000 of enjoyment playing with it as a kid.

But heck, even a grade of 3 is worth over $100 according to that site. That's a good return on my 10 cent investment in 1976.

A replacement was requested nearly 2 years ago. And as usual Panini Customer Support was less than stellar with their version of customer support.

Fast forward to mid-Nov. of this year and I just decided I would email them daily on it. It was just the principle of the whole thing, and a bit of amusement for myself to see if I could, on the off chance get at least some Panini points out of it. Only thing I would change in the email is this is the 23rd, the 24th , the 25th email. I did find the complete contact list for Panini America so every week or so I would add another Panini CS rep's email to the list. And as the typical response from Panini is to receive no response. Yesterday I shot off my 32nd or 33rd email to them and today I wake up and my wife tells me I had couple emails from Panini that a replacement had been sent overnight and the ticket was closed. She mentioned that the card was to replace the roughed and stinky card. I said roughed and stinky card like what kind nonsense are you saying woman? She pulls up the email on her phone and says look, Rougned Odor. I about passed out laughing. She then mentions to me they are sending as a replacement a 2021 Immaculate Signatures Bobby Witt Jr. Auto /75.

I just can't believe it. Panini is sending me a $75 card for replacement of a $1 stinky auto. Well done Panini.

Not a sports card but I finally got my Chiefs stuff hung in the basement prior to the Super Bowl party and didn't know where else to put this.

The Kelce jersey in the middle is the one my daughter got signed by him (we kinda dangled her over the rope) when she was just a wee one and we had it framed for Christmas this year. It was Mahomes rookie season so we've had it for a bit.

And when I hung the Mahomes jersey that had been sitting in storage for a bit, I noticed the signature didn't match my signed helmet. So I looked it up and evidently he had a different signature his rookie year and the jersey has his '17 signature on it. So that's pretty badass.

And man I love that Hill picture. The matting job is just awesome and it's such a cool photo. And he put the signature in just a perfect spot.

Pretty happy with how it all came together. Got the triplets in there plus my namesake... Love me some DJ.
