Totally worth it!! I'd pick it up for the upside-down 6-Urp in the first picture, but the gem of the bunch is the backwards Mrs. Klean...

Say it ain't so, George. ;D
The super rareness is too overwhelming.

This has been relisted at $3500.  I checked it out, and now I'm receiving alerts from eBay saying, "Don't let this one get away!"

I really love the cloth Weakies in the last pic with the super special flex-o border. Just a humdinger!

Umm...

eBay auction: #152563285617

Have you seen the seller's other slabbed borderless offerings? They have a PSA 8 NM-MT borderless Maddie Boy, if anyone is interested!

Corner damage is common when peeling off borders.  That might cost a couple of points.

Unbelievable!!  How can they even process borderless stickers?  Three more farces added to the population reports............  And, because they are graded, no returns accepted.

It's alarming. On the one hand, I understand graders can't all be experts on every issue, but this type of mistake makes a mockery out of the whole process. And they don't seem to have any group learning curve, they keep making the same wonder bread mistakes year after year.

Jim Modico sent two scathing emails to Joe Orlando (PSA's president) about these issues as well as some of the horribly over graded wackys 4SC has listed lately.

4SC?  I looked to see the over-graded items, but don't see ebay items under that ID.

Abbreviation for Four Sharp Corners. One of their PSA 9 beauties already sold, but here's a screenshot. Heavily toned AND miscut.



I mean come on...should these two have the same grade?

Geez, aside from being toned, it is miscut to the point that there are even the little black marks along the side!!  I would never even consider submitting that to PSA.

Is this a shill bidder or someone who just doesn't understand eBay?  23 bids in 3 minutes and then no effort to bid again when the auction ended 23 hours later.

Yes, but they've already made 1248 transactions on eBay before.  You think they would have the hang of it by now.  Perhaps they really wanted this item and took this course of action to as an attempt to scare off other bidders, figuring that if anybody tried to outbid them at the last minute, they'd never get past their 23 bids in 60 seconds - assuming anyone else would bid step-by-step in small increments.  What they didn't figure on, though, was that somebody would just leap right past their highest bid in one fell swoop.

No, they bid in small increments until they got the high bid.  Their last bid of $51.98 was a dollar higher than the one made about an hour earlier.  Then they didn't bid again in the next 23 hours of the auction.  1) A person who now has 1249 transactions would probably have figured this out by now and 2) Anyone who is eBay savvy could easily look at their bidding pattern and reasonable guess that they bid no higher than $51.98. So anyone who wanted to bid $53.00 or more would easily outbid them in the next 23 hours.

Let's see, $1,000 at $2.49 per pack, that box must have 400 packs, and shipping is free.  What a deal!

While PSA has recently graded borderless stickers as 7 and 8 (to their everlasting shame) this is probably a case of someone creating an auction using another auction as the template.

When I see a PSA-graded Scoot No-Copy, I check to make sure it has a border.

That is a very nice card.  But, a little too rich for my blood, especially right now.
