Comments: A PSA 8 was purchased on January 27, 2000 to fill an empty slot in the collection. Here's the card:

For a graded NM-MT card, I felt the corners were a little soft and the color was slightly faded. Overall, the card didn't pop as high-end.

UPDATE: In May, 2022, the Robert Edward Auction presented an opportunity to upgrade my example with a beautiful PSA 8.5. The corners were sharp and the color is perfect. I monitored the auction and ended up winning the rookie. Couldn't be happier when it arrived - absolute stunner!!!
