I said it on, of all places, Instagram. I no longer have Instagram because I don’t care to have it, so the post isn’t available.As far as people attempting to send in poor grade cards, that’s up to them. It does not mean that I am going to. The pricing of cards also doesn’t have to do with PSA’s grading, it has to do with price guides and outrageous sellers. My fun is adding a new PSA 8-9 to my sets. Whose fun is more important? I’m sure there’s some give or take here. I’m paying even more than you, believe me.
Some people can’t seem to understand that liking high grade cards has nothing directly to do with money. It just happens they are in low supply and higher demand. I don’t have a lot of money either. I see guys complete a low grade 1972 baseball set in under a month. I have been working on my graded set since 2014 and it is 55% complete. I just like nice cards and am willing to be patient.
I respect that you like high grade cards, I still don't understand with your great eye why you want to pay someone else to decide for you whether you like a card given monetary value has nothing to do with it.
Simple: beautiful high grade raw cards are not easily available. The money PSA grading attracts brings them to market.
So you only buy PSA card you never submit your own cards?
sellers don't drive prices, buyers do.
Slightly off topic, but a page of original Spiderman art from the first issue featuring his black costume, sold this week for $3.3 million….other recent sales of Action #1 and Amazing Fantasy #1 have hit $3 million…During these times if ridiculous inflation…someone has lots of money yo blow…
I hear you about buying lots, but there is only so far into a set build that you can expect to be able to do that without getting a ton of duplicates. Eventually you’ll have to pursue the singles you need, whatever the cost. Or just be OK with not completing it, I guess.
If you looked at eBay auctions for high grade cards vs. BIN’s I expect you’d see much different results.
Not following your point, buyers can ask any price they want but it doesn't matter if the sellers don't buy at those prices
That’s exactly my point???
This looks "off" to me. Thoughts?
Not exactly a bright white background.
https://www.psacard.com/cert/63742539High res scan available there. Looks toned too. Not particularly nice for a 10 but don’t color me surprised.Also, you’re telling me some guy submitted five Wackys and they all got tens??? I doubt it. Wonder how much money got thrown at PSA. Must have been a lot considering the outrageous prices these are listed at.
I sure as hell wouldn't spend the money Probstein is asking for those 10's. That is just ridiculous money wasted
Looks like Roberts took the opportunity to purchase the terrible looking Taster's Choke PSA 10 that has been on eBay for years now. Quite odd since it benefits his set less now than it would have years ago. Now he does not get the #1 uncontested grade bonus. Interesting.
How on earth did that Tasters Choke get a 10 with that centering? Did someone convince PSA that is the correct centering for that card? It is ridiculous that PSA10s are being pitted against each other with clear variations in quality,
Here's another one that just appeared on eBay. Better centering. https://www.ebay.com/itm/373992296844?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m2368.l2648&mkcid=8&bu=43209198147&osub=c674abaa961c02c44e428241ee82ce98%257ETE80101_T_AGM&segname=TE80101_T_AGM&crd=20220331080000&ch=osgood&trkId=0A7B127B-E53450F398A-017FBDF50CDA-0000000001013B97&mesgId=3041&plmtId=700002&recoId=373992296844&recoPos=4&sojTags=osub%3Dosub%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Cch%3Dch%2CtrkId%3DtrkId%2CmesgId%3DmesgId%2CplmtId%3DplmtId%2CrecoId%3DrecoId%2CrecoPos%3DrecoPos%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid
PSA 9 Boredom's and PSA 9 Campy sold for close to $3,700 each on Mile High Card Co. Sold for around $1,000 more than what I would have expected.
How is this possible? Which inept individual did this? I wonder if it can be ascertained from the number who did it. This has to be the worst PSA error I have ever seen.Jim
