HONESTYandINTEGRITY--TRUSTin offerDING/BUYING:
Hello...Thank you for your interest and viewing of this Specific Listing. My (Matthew a/k/areal651) sincere intention is to provide you with an honest and accurate representation (seephotographs) and description (seedetails noted herein) of thisSpecific Listingto enable you to make an informed decision on whether to offer, Make an Offer or Buy and, if so, how much to offer, Offer or Pay.
Unlike some (and, hopefully, the very tiny-minority) Sellers whohave something to hide; who do not want you to know the Real story; orthose who (intentionally or not) only add to the mystery or uncertaintyof what you are viewing, such as Sellers who post Poor; Blurry; Sketchy;or Unhelpful Photographs (which, to to say the least, is frustrating!),I (real651)Want You to Know the Real story--the Truth--even if that Truth isdetrimental to a sale--because I believe this is not only the rightthing to do, but the Smart Business thing to do!
Conscious effort is made to provide Clear and Accurate photographs(often at multiple angles and up close to show ALL--Good, Bad orIndifferent) in allreal651 Listings. Additionally, use of thereal651DEAL\"L\"-Ruler/Measurer © (TM) is often employed and shown in thephotographs, especially for Vintage and High-End Beauties, whereinMeasurements and Centering are often critical (and to at least onereputable 3rd Party Grader, the most important trait or Sub-Grade) tothe overall Grade or Condition Assessment.
How many Sellers mention Measurements or Centering, let alone actually Show You? With such uncertainty for manyRawcards that are regularly listed, such asWayne GretzkyandMichael Jordan RCs, which are infamous for being trimmed, altered,fake, etc., I believe (as both a Buyer and Seller) that (whenapplicable) the ideal practice is to address the same via photographsand/or disclosure.
In this regard, while I am human and makeNOclaim of being perfect, maintaininghonestyandintegrityas a Seller--and in the Selling process--is of the utmost importance to me (real651) and essential to earning your CONFIDENCE and TRUST in offerding, Making an Offer and ultimately Buying.
\"Value,\" like Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. While I believe thisSpecific Listingisa Great purchase and/or a Valuable addition to any collection, youmight disagree. Thus, please carefully review the photographs and thedetails provided herein and decide for yourself whether you agree withanyreal651Assessment provided.
Please View; Watch; offer; and BUY with CONFIDENCE, as this is thereal651DEAL!!
Please addreal651toyour favorites list and revisit often, as newly listed Beauties willregularly be available for purchase via sale and direct \"Buy It Now,\"including but not limited to Vintage, Newer and In Between High-EndHockey; Baseball; Football and Basketball Cards and Collectibles, aswell as:
- Rookie Cards(RC);
- Raw(Ungraded) Cards Fresh from Set, Box or Pack Breaks;
- Special, Short Printed (SP), Super Short Prints (SSP) and/or other Limited Edition and Parallel Cards (e.g., Serial Numbered,Xfractors, Refractors, Superfractors, etc.);

Hello...Thank You for Your Interest in thisSpecific Listing, which is: Please Review Details Herein and All Photographs for the Exact Card(s) included.
Please carefully review the additional details noted/disclosedherein (if any), as well as the photographs provided herein and use yourown judgment for confirmation of or disagreement with anyreal651Assessment of thisSpecific Listing.Unless otherwise evident or disclosed herein, the item(s) shown hereinis the exact item(s) that you will receive if you are the One!
*Condition-Related:PleaseNote that unless evident from the photographs or details herein, if Iam aware of any listing having any stain (whether wax, food, gum, etc.)or other latent blemish/issue, this WILL BE SPECIFICALLY DISCLOSED INTHE ASSESSMENT:
While I am NOT a professional grader--and also understand that oneperson\'s definition of \"MINT\" may (even reasonably) be another person\'sdefinition of \"NEAR MINT\"--my honest opinion, description and assessmentof the condition of eachRawcard isguided(not controlled) by the grading criteria (or general guidelines) that the \"Pros\" down south at Beckett (BGS and BVG) employ (seebelow),which is what I believe to be the toughest (and, thus, generally most\"Technically\" accurate...especially on my All-Time Favorite--and oftenspectacular work of ART--O-Pee-Chee (OPC) Cut Beauties) GradingCriteria/Standard in the collection industry.
As a result, at least in part, I have been told that my \"streetgrading\" assessment with respect to \"condition\" or the likely gradingscore of a particular item is generally conservative. You may or may notagree, however, please know that my intention is to be as honest andaccurate as I can with my opinion and assessment, which includes FULLDISCLOSURE of any flaw or condition that I am aware of and that is notexpressly noted herein, apparent from the photographs and/or a part ofthe BGS/BVG definitions (seebelow) and grading criteria/guidelines that I use as a guide in expressing my opinion andreal651Assessment for each Specific Listing.
TheBOTTOM-LINEguide for my evaluation of each item is that I try to put myself in your shoes as a Buyer by asking: \"Is that something that I would want to know?\"

*NOTE:BGS/BVG provides final grades in half-point (.5) increments (i.e., 10,9.5, 9, 8.5, etc.). Cards with a half-point increment (e.g., 8.5 NM-MT+)typically share characteristics from both the Grade level above (e.g., 9Mint Centering) and the Grade level below (e.g., 8 NM-MT Corners) theactual grade given.
**Per BGS/BVG, The foregoing are Not Rules, Only General Guidelines**
Below are some basic AUTOGRAPH (AU) Grading standards. There are NO half-point grades, and the lowest grade is a 5.
Beckett Autograph Grading Scale (5 through 10):
10-A beautiful, boldly signed autograph that appears nearly perfect to thenaked eye. Under normal viewing, it looks like an aesthetically-pleasing autograph.
9-This is a signature that is also very pleasing, but has slightimperfections that barely detract from the autograph. Very lightbubbling or micro scratching is allowable, but no yellowing, fading, orsmearing. Positioning should be nearly perfect - with just the very tipsof a letter or two cut off or hidden.
8-At this level, some flaws begin to stand out slightly. Signature isstill solid and pleasing, but might be somewhat bubbled throughout, orhave areas of minor scuffing/scratching that detracts from the aestheticbeauty of the signature. Only lightly visible yellowing or fading orsmearing is allowed. A cut signature may only have 10% of the signaturehidden (or missing, when referring to a sticker autograph). Only a verysmall tip of the signature may run off or bleed onto the edge.
7-Flaws are evident, including heavy bubbling throughout, noticeablescratching, minor but noticeable yellowing or fading, small but obviousportions of smeared ink. Up to 20% of a cut autograph may be hidden, or20% of a sticker auto may be missing. A portion of the signature may runoff the card or may bleed onto the edge.
6-Heavy flaws are easily visible and highly distracting, includingbubbling to the point of portions of the autograph being essentiallyinvisible, extremely distracting scratching, yellowing or fading, orsignificantly smeared ink on multiple areas of the autograph. Up to 35%of a cut autograph/sticker may be hidden/missing. Several letters of thesignature may run off the card, bleeding onto the edge or opposite sideof the card.
5-Very heavy flaws that highly distract from the autograph, includingportions of the autograph being completely removed or invisible,catastrophic scratching throughout the entire autograph, extremely heavyyellowing, massive fading of the entire signature, smeared inkthroughout the entire autograph. Over 50% of a cut autograph/sticker maybe hidden/missing.
