The photo is a photo of the actual card so please take a good look at the card and pay attention to grading. Please note that while grades 7.5 through 10 are easy enough to understand, we do not number cards less than 7.5, we simply grade those G/VG etc and let you decide. G/VG does not mean the cards are not collectible at all it just means it did not make the 7.5 threshold which is where most of the money circulates in terms of investment cards, but the card is still collectible. Detailed Facts On the HHA grading and authentication company, and their grading standards:The Hockey History Archive (HHA) is a new trading card authenticating, grading, reclamation, historical collection, packaging and presentation service. We reclaim and regrade cards that investor-focused groups like PSA have, in our opinion, mishandled and irresponsibly graded, resulting in the establishment of a widespread grading environment that is both anti-historical and harmful to the cards themselves as historical artifacts. They have set up a grading system and environment that is frequently arbitrary and which fails to recognize the true collectible nature and historical value of cards, particularly with cards made prior to the late 1990s when laser centering etc began to be used. We also do not do RIDICULOUS things like penalizing collectors for cleaning their cards, aka doing basic preservation of a collectible artifact that ALL MUSEUMS do, yet strangely PSA and its clone corporations condemn and play this insane game where proper preservation strategies used by museums and historians for countless decades are considered "altering the card." HHA does not march in lock-step with PSA and their clones, we favor traditional museum cleaning and preservation methods, which are not "altering" the card it is "restoring" and "preserving" the card. Now if in the process of cleaning etc somebody stains the card or alters its symmetry etc, *then* we might downgrade it. What grades indicate:10. A card graded as a 10 is deemed a highly collectible card in excellent or even perfect condition. HHA does not put the emphasis on centering that PSA does for cards created before the late 1990s (when laser centering began) and will only downgrade a card if the centering is dramatically off. Slight skews this way or that way are 100% consistent with print standards of the day for older cards. For cards created with laser centering and modern methods our grading expectations increase. Cards created during the laser era are expected to be within certain thresholds. The usual corner condition, surface condition, edge condition are all examined with deductions being made where appropriate. Image quality is relative to the standard of the time as well. But all this is done with collectors and museum standards in mind, *not* with OCD hyper-analysis in mind. The primary question to be answered is: does this card appear as if a card just taken out of a pack minus minor allowances for age? If the answer is yes and there are not major flaws the card is a "10." 9.5 A virtually perfect card with some slight visually observable imperfections not consistent with standards of the time the card was made. All imperfections must be visible with the naked eye, particularly with older cards. Imperfections only visible with magnification are of little interest as collectors view cards with their eyes, and what matters is how a card appears to the naked eye. 9. A card with some significant but not major imperfection. This might be centering, significant edge wear, minor corner bends etc, or slight surface problems such as minor specs or print lines etc. 8. A card in very good condition but with some more significant imperfections or damage. 7.5. This is the lowest number grade HHA gives and it indicates a card that it is just barely above the point of no longer being considered in excellent condition. VG/G These are the lowest grades HHA gives, and it can manifest as either VG or G or VG/G. These grades indicate that the card is in good or very good collectible condition but cannot be considered in excellent condition. Cards not regarded as good or excellent will not be graded, and will just be marked "NGI" as in "no grade issued."
