Middle. I'll take a little OC as long as its not killer.
What are these fetching in this grade now anyways? I have been wanting to pick one up for the last 4 years now.

See...I'd rather buy a 4 or so but raw. Bad thing is...sight on the bay is not good enough for me. I want to see the puppy in hand. But if you buy graded the price is a lot more for the same condition. At least with what I have seen. Kinda torn on what to do. Buy one graded and at least be guaranteed the grade or buy one raw and take my chances of buying a trimmed card. Either way I hate the options which is why I currently don't own one.

One of my most wanted cards. I would take the middle one.

WOW, Thanks guys!
I own the bottom one, and was going to upgrade to the top 1. I thought it was pretty cool with the rough edges, as it shows how many of these were first made. ALso that top one looks like it would be graded a 7.5 if not for the rough edges. Anyway, if it's that much of a turn-off to most people, then the resale may not be so good either. You helped me make up my mind not to "upgrade" this time around...but I am always looking to upgrade this....the sgc I own now on the bottom is the effort after about 10 upgrades.

I have been burned buying raw on more than one occasion on high priced vintage, and never will anymore. There may not be a lot of fake hanks out there, but i am sure there are a lot of trimmed. Someone may have good luck buying raw, but it's not my gamble any more.

Id take a centered rough cut.... over a diamond cut which is OC ..... any day.
The bottom one is nicest IMO, and its also in a SGC slab so thats a BIG plus.

I like the bottom 5.5. It has the best overall eye-appeal.
