1955 Bowman Neal PSA-7
I know he's a Brooklyn Dodger from their championship season, but this is still a PSA-7. What would a PSA-8 bring? ...jay

To save all of you time checking the pop report, I just did. And its really now that low a pop.
41 cards have been graded w/ 31 receiving PSA-7 or 8's w/ No Qualifiers. 19 PSA-7's & 15 PSA-8's...jay

jay - in the context of '55 Topps, that is a very low pop. in 7 and 8, especially for a Dodger.

OK, it's Bowman. I need to read more carefully. Even for a Dodger, that's an awfully high price for a 7 from that set (although it's a very nice 7).

Maybe Marc can give some insight into this one.

I wish I had some insight -- I do not. Seems to be an irrational bidding war in this case. I purchased my PSA 8 for a (relatively high) $175 in March 2001. I cannot say as I've seen recorded sales that high in the time since. I can definitively say that the Dodger and Yankee PSA 8 cards from 1955 Bowman are largely collected and do not come to market often. They always pull premiums well in excess of SMR.
