It's funny but people will pay $4k for ultra-modern cards of players who are NOT in the hall of fame and NOT as rare as this card in a 10... but they may not pay that much for this classic old card!? IF I were going to spend $4k for a card I would much rather have this Snider than a McGwire refractor/game used/autographed/1 of 1/ etc.....
That card should easily be a 9 but no way a 10. The tilt takes away from the "eye appeal" IMO. Don't get me wrong...its a beauty! But I would rather have a perfectly centered 9 with no tilt.
I don't think you can fairly judge this card with the crappy scan. The tilt to me appears that it may be how the card sits in the holder. I think the lessen is if you are going to sell such a high dollar card, it might not be a bad idea to provide a decent scan.
That's a fine looking Snider card that I would love to own. One of my favorites from his later years. Whether it's graded a 9 or 10 doesn't matter to me, it looks mint and that's all that counts. But no, I don't think it's worth 4k. I would be happy with a sharp 9 for $500 instead.

Yup.
Problem card, unless the buyer wants to hold
it for a VERY long time.
Way to go PSA
I think alot of HOF pre-1970 cards are undervalued in high-grade.
