I have also always liked his 1973 topps league leader for strikeouts card where he is looking away from the camera

You'll be lucky to get a BGS 8 IF you're Grading with Beckett. IF you were talking about Grading it with Beckett, a 10 would be Pristine, not Gem Mint. With Beckett, a 9.5 is Gem Mint.
I know it's confusing, but you'll get it eventually.

Well, being that 186 out of the 205 (90%) '83 Donruss Nolan Ryans have graded 8 or higher with BGS, he has a pretty good shot. (44 8s, 54 8.5s, 41 9s, and 27 9.5s)
So there's that......

Myself...I count a 9.5 Beckett as a 10 (I round up....LOL).
Great point rle75. One just needs to be really careful with "what" they submit.
