The suspense is killing me. Especially because there's not much of interest at HA.

There are times you can look at a coin, and then the price and say:
"there's a whole bunch of other stuff I would rather have".

Re: Shopping for a 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson RC card, Here are Three (3) Examples. Which do you Like?
Call me crazy, but I like the 2. I looked at the bigger images of the cards on eBay. I don't like the 4 because the portrait is too red, which I feel obscures Robinson's face, especially his eyes. I don't like the 3 because of the toning and because the color seems too rich as well. The 2 is a very clear and bright image and also looks cleaner on the higher res eBay pic.
I am a big fan of strong color, but I also like to determine what the "correct" or intended color seems to be, usually by comparing a bunch of examples on eBay. Sometimes cards with vivid colors are actually too heavy on yellow, magenta, etc., and it can give an unnatural look. Even though it is pale compared to the 3 and 4, I think the 2 seems to be the most natural and I am guessing is closest to what Leaf intended. I feel relaxed when I look at it. Great card!

You'd think for that price they'd get a fresh CAC sticker.

I recognize one of your lots. It's a super coin but unfortunately out of my price range.
To the prior post, I've noticed the same thing. Heritage Latin America consignments have decreased noticeably for the better material for some time now. I've bought two lots this year, but these were the first in this segment in years.

On average, NGC’s grading standards are slightly lower than the PCGS standards. This situation has been made worse by crossovers. Many properly graded, really nice NGC coins have crossed over to PCGS. The “NGC dogs” stay in their kennels which tarnishes the company’s image. >
This sums it up the best to me as to why NGC coins overall get looked at as second class coins.

I helped my wife decorate some cookies tonight. I think these Raindeers are winners too.
