Nice card! It's been on my want list for a while, but it's so condition sensitive that trying to find one in decent shape always seems to involve parting with more money than I'd like!

Wow, not bad... What'd it close at?

Good deal, those black-border cards are really condition sensitive, so one in that shape is worth its weight in gold. I have a few 1971 topps in which the printing is out of focus. How is it on that card? Are you considering grading it?

For some reason, Bert's RC is one of only a few 1971 Topps cards in my collection that's almost 100% centered. It has a dinged corner, but is otherwise in fine shape. The only other two cards I can think of I have from that set with better centering are Buck Martinez and Bob Aspromonte. Steve Garvey's card comes close, as well. My '71 Topps Nolan Ryan, while centered 100% top to bottom (usually they're off-center top-to-bottom), is slightly off-center to one side.

I've dug out my boxes today, so I'll be sure to post some more pics of other great ones I've collected.
