WOOOOOOOOOOOW! '54 Topps Ernie Banks PSA 10

kennylow · March 16, 2006 9:38PM

rough left edge. at least from the scan, I'd be disappointed if I bought this card and saw that edge.

lostdart58 · March 16, 2006 9:43PM

$55, 000 and they want you to pay for full S/H............

shagrotn77 · March 16, 2006 9:57PM

Rough cut doesn't bother me a bit. Looks like a smokin' card! But moogity??? What in the heck is moogity???

theczar · March 16, 2006 10:09PM

where was this recent 1954 wax pack find? most people cannot open a 1987 pack without problems and this guy gets a 50+ year old card in a pack and is gem mint?

WinPitcher · March 16, 2006 10:20PM

I wonder why the other cards from the 'pack' are not up on ebay as well? Just other Banks stuff.

Nice card though.

I believe the rough cut on the edges are suppose to be normal for the 54 Topps. I think to a point where they even use it a gauge against trimming like they do with older OPC cards. I think it's a great looking card and would not be disappointed at all. The price however,.....................well, it'll never happen with me anyway.

sayheykid54 · March 16, 2006 10:29PM

Actually the original seller had a number of cards from the open packs listed as graded singles. There were a couple 10's and mostly 9's. 1954 Topps are absolutely stunning in this pristine grade.

kennylow · March 16, 2006 11:39PM

I hate rough cuts, they just make the card look ugly. Glad others like them as it saves the smooth cuts for me.

DCDSports · March 16, 2006 11:59PM

If I remember correctly, this card came from a Mastro auction.
The Mastro people went to someone's house, who had found an unopened box. They opened a pack, got these GEM MINT cards, and had them graded. Mastro had all the other material up for auction, as well.

King-
I kind of like rough cuts on '54's, shows they were factory cut.
312 is the easy grader though

Wonder if this came from those boxes of '54's Mastro got. Betting it was.

gemint · March 17, 2006 12:10AM

So this guy won the card a few months back in the Mastro auction and has it up for sale already? I didn't check to see if it's the same cert # since I didn't keep the catalog and the Mastro website is down while they move their office. I wonder why he's selling so soon?

RonBurgundy · March 17, 2006 12:13AM

There are only 2 cards that I would even consider paying over $50,000 for, and this is not one of them.

Stay classy,

Ron

JESSEJAMES · March 17, 2006 12:59AM

Rough Cuts = Not Trimmed, hence I like them... Also means it was almost never handled.

downgoesfrazier · March 17, 2006 2:03AM

Whoa! THAT is a show-stopper! What a wonder-card! Mercy! Absolutely gorgeous. Looks like a legit "10". What a stunner.

downgoesfrazier · March 17, 2006 2:05AM

Again, where is all the print goo on the white background? No roller marks? A tilt? I've never seen a Banks that snow white with no distractions. What the...

digicat · March 17, 2006 2:20AM

Awesome. I like the rough-cuts too for some reason. I dunno.

It's amazing that stuff like this survived the years, or that someone had a few old packs laying around untouched through the years. Makes me wanna go do some garage sale hopping...

Stone193 · March 17, 2006 2:33AM

Superb card.

And some would say the slight rough cut ads a "real" feel to the card.

I like it! But, not for the kind of money.

bocaratondefense · March 17, 2006 5:16AM

Great moogity is right! That is a beautiful card. Not for $55K though.

kennylow · March 17, 2006 5:19AM

<< I kind of like rough cuts on '54's, shows they were factory cut. >>

Anthony, I know that's a good thing - to know they were factory cut and little chance of being trimmed ... but I just don't like the look...just a personal eye-appeal thing.

Ahmanfan · March 17, 2006 5:51AM

Nice card. but the left edge next to his ear where it dips in would lead me to believe that spot is trimmed? Or was the card size just all over the place on this set?

It's the same one from the previous auction. Same cert # at least

Purchased from Mastro less than a year ago.

baseballfanatic · May 19, 2006 4:41AM

Kinda tough trying to flip a card on Ebay purchased from Mastro's.....

hardcorehockeyfan · May 19, 2006 4:41AM

Here we go again, someone has a card, many of you would love to have, and you have to bash what the seller is asking for it, regardless of when and where he bought it at, and not to mention, expect said seller to ship it to you free. If I went to an auto dealer, and bought a $50,000+ Escalade, I still would have to pay a destination fee, sales taxes, and even registration!!! If the seller can get $50,000+, or even $30,000+ for it, more power to him/her, I am sure, down the line, someone would pay that much for it!!! If anyone of you had that card, submitted it, and only received an 8 or 9, you would be hell bent on resubmitting it too!!!

BTW, this is for the people who are bashing it, not the ones who would love it, but just would not spend the cash on it!!! If I had $30,000+ to spend, I can start a fund to pay for the education of a future kid of mine, or invest it. That is too much money for my needs to spend on a piece of cardboard!!!!

williplett · May 19, 2006 5:04AM

I am confused, if you go on Ebay right now you will see that exact same Banks up for bid with a BIN of $39k. It looks like it already went for 16k more. Maybe I am just tired?

Carew29 · May 19, 2006 5:18AM

That's right... i remember now, this is the scmuck that got all bent out of shape a few months back because we had asked for photo's of the back of the card and he wouldn't do it. There is a thread somewhere on that auction a few months back. I guess the card never sold. This seller works at or owns a ticket agency in chicago if memory serves me. I recall him selling season tickets for cubs games.

RE:Few spots up about "Here we go again.....

Here we go again hearing someone complaining about complaints. Now I am complaining about your complaining. Whoa I'm dizzy. So what people have opinions. Let them be. Are we all supposed to give compliments and watch Mary Poppins?
