[KillerCanuck]

hey!

I tried with my eyes lookin what´s different between psa 8 and psa 9? I got very beautiful Ripken card--looks perfect. In my eyes I must be missing what different makes between psa 9 and 8. My card looks mint but can it be seen with bare eyes whas different psa 9 and 8. Sorry silly question. I´m diehard Ripken fan from Finland.

Edge wear or corners. The Traded sets were box sets, they were not issued in pack form with the exception of three or four seasons. The cards were tightly packed into the box so you can find issues with that. In the mid to late 80s, centering was definitely better, but not sure about 82. I've only owned Topps Traded sets from 1986-1993
