Is this for real NRMT+? I think this is a about a PSA 6, if it is gradeable. I guess I better wait for the right one to come around and pass this one by. Should I even bother to ask the seller why he didn't have it graded by PSA?
Not all collectors think that everything has to be PSA graded, I thought I read somewhere that some of the old time dealers do not like to deal in graded cards.

Old time dealers might not want to deal in graded cards because it proves to them (and to the rest of the world) that they've been overgrading their own stuff by at least two grades.
The seller has enough feedback to choke a herd of horses, but ...
1) He describes the Aaron as NM or better, worth $1800 or more. That's about $700 too high, even if everything is kosher and it grades 7, which it may not.
2) It's rough-cut on the sides, smooth-cut on the bottom. Especially on the reverse there seems to be a straight, shiny bottom edge that doesn't look at all like the other borders.
3) He twice refers to the 1954 Aaron as a "great pull." Pulled from what?
4) Shipping is $2 plus optional $1.30 insurance for a card supposedly worth $1800+
Just some weird things that make me feel uncomfortable. Especially the smooth, shiny bottom edge.
A single rough edge and terrible centering. PATIENCE is key with cards you have coveted since childhood. take your time, stick with one that is already PSA graded that satisfies what your looking for.
this card isn't that scarce, you will find plenty of them.
