One card poppage

lawnmowerman

My wife won this card ( raw ) for me on ebay. Its a 1989 "Smokey the Bear" Emmitt. I believe only 1 or 2 10's exist of this card so it is very tough. Anyway, I sent it in as a single card sub because I thought for sure it was either trimmed or counterfeit. It is definitly smaller width wise and longer length wise than the average card. I will post a scan when I get it back. Also, I wanted to send it to psa quick just in case it was ungradable so I could send it back to the seller in a reasonable time frame.

Well its authentic.

There was another "Smokey" psa 9 on ebay that ended before I got my sub results so I won just in case. It cost $150.00 something. Heres the link so you can see what the card looks like. The scan stinks but you get the idea. They are really nice cards for not being a major issue.

psa 9

So now I have two psa 9's . I guess I will pick the best one and put the other on ebay.

Congrats Matt! How many 9's are there? You trying to "corner the market?"



The question on the auction was the best ...

Q: will you take 100.00 right now for it? Thanks
A: You are the third offer so far...your offer is the smallest...

I saw that question too and I laughed at the sellers response.

there are :

5 = 8's

9 = 9's

2 = 10's

Crack 'em both and send 'em in again!

Certainly someone will find a little "eye appeal" there!

cut the corners and sell it as a "1 of 1 Die cut variation" . It would truely be a "1 of 1" so it wouldnt be a lie

Well, I got both cards in the mail. Not only is the card we bought raw "skinnier" its a different color. The one on the right I bought pre-graded. The other is the one I sent in

If you crack and resubmit you better NOT send them in together since one must be the "wrong" color! Since PSA doesn't know what the "correct" color is just send one now and one in month. Good luck!

I ruled out one for sure because the reverse centering is really off. Imo thats the only thing that kept it from a 10.
Thanks
