1933 Goudey Rogers Hornsby PSA 5; $425 v. $220

JackWESQ

My favorite card is the 1933 Goudey Rogers Hornsby. I track this
card regularly. Recently, two PSA 5's came up for auction. Before,
either auction ended, I determine that the later ending auction had
the better card, even though both were graded PSA 5. The first card
sold for $220.50. Here is the link and picture:

The second card sold for $425.50! Wow! Here is the link and picture:

Is this a great example of buying the card and not the holder? So much so
that the latter card second sold for almost twice the former card. Crazy!

how can you tell the 2nd one is so much better with such a lousy picture?

I think the first auction would have sold for more if the seller had scanned only the front of the card.
He was being an honest seller by showing the back of the card, but it may have cost him $$$$.

I agree with pandrews the photo of the second card doesn't give any indication to the actual condition of the card.
