Original 1964 Leaf The Munsters Trading card #1 PSA

Title: Let Hearse Put You in the Drivers Seat
THE
MUNSTERS
The 1964
Leaf The Munsters set consists of 72 standard-sized, 2-1/2" by
3-1/2" cards. Each card pictures a different high gloss black-and-white
scene from the debut year of the CBS television series, including stars Fred
Gwynn as Herman Munster, Yvonne De Carlo as Lillian Munster and Al Lewis as
Grandpa – all in character. A pun is printed in black ink on the bottom white
border. The high-gloss fronts on Munster cards are easily scratched and scored,
and often subject to wax stains on back. A few “Short Prints” are known to
exist, and as is often the case with such issues, cards #1 and #72 are
typically more difficult to find in high grade and absent of wear.
I would say the Munsters set is going to
continue to increase in popularity. There is always an interest in these old
shows. It's just like the comic book characters coming back [into the
mainstream]
This card was produced by Leaf.

The 10 point Grading Scale: Poor (P) or Fair (F) 1: A card that has seen serious abuse
or has a hole in it. Good (G) 2: This grade is usually the result of heavy
corner rounding, surface wear or creases. Any card with writing on it falls
in this category. (Writing other than an autograph of course). Very Good
(VG) 3: A card that
looks good from a distance, but on closer inspection several defects can be
seen without magnification. This is the highest rating possible on a creased
card. Very Good /
Excellent (VGEX) 4: This is the highest grade that a card can have with a
small wrinkle. A wrinkle is a crease that can be seen on only one side of the
card. Excellent
(EX) 5: This grade
is for cards that look really good, but show some wear. Excellent /
Mint (EXMT) 6: A card that looks mint, but upon close examination defects can be seen
without magnification. Near Mint
(NM) 7: A card that
looks mint, but upon examination with magnification, defects can be seen
usually on edges and corners. This grade is often given to cards that are new
right out of the packages. This is the best grade I would assume any
"raw" card is in unless it has been professionally graded higher.
Many sellers will tell you the card they are selling is a higher grade, but
unless the card is professionally graded higher, that is just so much seller
verbiage. I would always assume any new card right out of the package is Near
Mint when making a buying decision. The best dealers describe new raw cards
as Near Mint. Near Mint / Mint (NMMT) 8: A card that looks mint, but
upon examination with strong magnification and bright light, very small
defects can be detected usually on edges and corners. This is another grade
common to new cards right out of the package and professionally graded.
Grades higher than Near Mint / Mint are rare. The main reason a new card is
not mint is that the cutting blades leave marks on the edges and corners. To
consistently get mint cards the blades would have to be sharpened often and
the surface of the blades polished to avoid any blade marks. Mint (MT) 9: Mint basically means very nearly prefect
in every regard. Gem Mint or Perfect (GEM) 10: A mint card with extra
appeal. This usually means a brighter than usual surface. Some graders give in between grades like NM+ to
indicate these are cards at the higher end of the grade. |
