Only 8 of them have been graded. Three received 6's which is highest in pop report at this time.
Last PSA 3 went for $250 back in March. Any thoughts on this one? Sorry about photo quality.

    Very cool item.

    I looked at the PSA 3 that sold and yours looks much better to me.

    Strong candidate for at least a 4 or 5 unless there are small creases or scratches that can’t be seen in your pictures.

    Good luck if you send in for grading.

    That is a cool card. Thanks for sharing.

    I think yours looks better than all my 6's of that card so as long as it isn't trimmed it should grade very well.

    Thanks for the feedback. Did you buy them graded or grade them yourself?

    There are 10 graded on the pop report. I subbed the first 7 of them that were graded, and then eventually someone else subbed a couple. The ones I sent in were graded as 1, 1.5, two 3's, and three 6's.

    Awesome. Thanks.

    Very cool card. I couldn’t find cards for most of the triple crown winners from their racing years so decided to go after kentucky derby tickets. Like to see some horse racing love

    Wow.....
    It got a 5.
    I will have to really look it over i guess to see what I missed once it gets back.

    Here's the 5 show under APR on the PSA site for reference.

    Seems appropriate to me with the grade

    The image of the graded card is NOT the OP's card from the top images.

    Right that one on the PSA APR site does look like a PSA 5.
    I was expecting worst case scenario a 7 for mine.
    I will have to give it a good once over when it gets back and see if perhaps I missed a surface blemish or they messed up the card while grading it. If neither of those, i will crack it out and resubmit when they accept submissions again

    You might have missed a small wrinkle almost undetectable unless tilted in the right light. It will garner a 5 every time.
