This has got to be a new record for a PSA 9 Montana rookie:

That card is the Godiva of chocolates.

Looks like his other 4 hovered between $700-770 and this one shot the moon. It does look good.

The power of the certificate!

Wow that's Three times the average price of this card.

A very sharp card and a nice 9
But I think the reverse centering (off-center both directions), would keep it a 9 if the buyer hoped for a bump.

Not gonna lie, that has a chance to bump.....the reverse seems to be within recent tolerances for some other PSa 10's I have seen.

Warriors8 · July 20, 2015 2:51AM

Anyone know the statistics on successful bump reviews rate?
I'm thinking less than 5%.

Agreed.

If it was a common, maybe. "THE" card of this set, zero chance.

Sweet card. The centering on the back and that dot under Manhattan Beach?

I have seen a number of highly scrutinized cards like the Montana with poor back centering in 10 slabs. I think if the buyer cracks and subs this card over and over there is a decent chance it bumps.

Seems like the right edge (by his wrist band) has a few minor notches in the edge - I assume that is why it is a 9 and not the reverse centering?

===> trying for a bump ( and life too ) is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get.

To each their own but I am sure you could have found another card with the same chances for less then half.
I actually hate the top to bottom centering on that one and if it was me I would not have added the sticker to it.

I understand what you're saying, but the top/bottom centering is only fractionally off, and barely noticeable. Without that very slight centering shift, it's probably a 10, right? 9's are not perfect, there has to be something wrong with them somewhere? This 9 looks pretty darn good to me, worthy of a sticker IMO.

But if you eat the whole box in an eating competition you are very likely going to be sick!

Probstein loves chocolate is the lesson here.

Eye popping color...worthy of the high end sticker.

Warriors8 · July 21, 2015 5:00PM

Nice montana but back centering keeps it a 9.

The top to bottom centering is what kept me from going for it. It's a nice card, but to me it wasn't worth the extra juice.
