Wanting to know if it is a good idea to buy this from him

Should I go ahead and buy or am I setting myself up to get disappointed with a raw card. The problem is, shows are getting harder to find. Even when one finds a show, its hard to find these cards out on display because the dealer left them home since he figured they are worthless.

Is the other alternative to go on BST on the CU boards? I can potentially run into problems there too--maybe.

Gooden rookie


Boggs triple rookies

    Seller has good feedback................I wouldn't buy them with the expectation that these cards are going to grade out as PSA 10s.................lastly depends on how much you are willing to spend.

    As long as these cards look worthy of grading, I am happy. You know how sometimes one selects a card that is gradeable and then when it comes back from PSA, it has a 8 or 7 on it.
    I don't want a PSA condition gaurantee, just a card that looks NM/M+. I don't plan on sending these cards in immediately anyway--I just don't have these cards at all except of the Topps Boggs rookie.

    Personally, I couldn't live with the L-R centering on that Gooden, but if its okay for you, then go for it.

    phreaky,

    I know what you mean, but some PSA 9's have centering that way. I never owned this card so I will worry more about getting a GEM later on. This is very good assuming the corners and edges are sharp.
