Auction ended yesterday on ebay. This Carew card went for $172 in PSA 9!! I thought i made a "dumb" enough of a high bid, but i guess not!! Item number: 4129112301 on ebay.

    If it's on Ebay, and it's a Carew item, be sure, i have seen it. I just picked up the 1970 ACTION 8MM FILM INCLUDING MINT BOX AND BROSHURE THAT CAME ALONG WITH IT.image

    ok , carew guys . here's the link to my 73 opc psa 9, right out of a pack. I was waiting to get my other one back before offering it but it has been almost 2 months and i don't think my grades will ever be ready. if anyone is interested , pm me an offer and i will consider them before it hits ebay. thanks

    There's no way the vertical edges can be as rough as they look in that pic to be that grade. Is that light being reflected off the holder?

    the edges are not as rough as they appear. there isn't any "notching" which is where psa draws the line between an 8 and a 9 on vintage opc. the layering of the cut makes the scan look alot worse than it is and there really isn't any way to get a better scan

    Marc:

    Were you the one who bought the 1971 OPC Carew PSA 10 a few years back? I still have a scan of that card sitting around.....

    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    I have an 8 that looks fairly strong in comparison.

    MS, I remember that card. I think it went for around $1400??

    randall , what kind of scanner do you have and what software?

    that looks like a real nice 8

    HP scanner. I treat the image with Paint Shop Pro.

    Thanks.
