This Koufax would have looked nice in my set

This Koufax would have looked nice in my set, but my snipe of $235 came up a little short. Hard to believe this card went that high when there is a PSA 9 out there.

    A psa 2 Post 1962 Koufax just sold last week that belonged to Steve Eberhardt for $1100 or so. There must be some serious buyers for Koufax out there.

    Something tells me I need to send in my Post Koufax cards that I've had for over 10 years.

    If you have any 1963 Post cards in nice shape, I would be interested in buying or trading.

    I don't know, I'm guessing these would be essentially worthless, and thus, not worth sending to PSA as there is no black border around the edges. Edited to add that anything that appears as a black border is shadow only.

    Well, I'll be the first to admit that your snipe was perfectly reasonable in my opinion. I don't quite get the hype, but the card obviously got shot into the stratosphere for that particular issue.

    I also noticed the Red Line PSA 2 Koufax sell for over $1K - it was a very nice looking card and I was shocked at the low grade based on the appearance of the cards' front. There must have been some crap on the back or something, though the seller made no mention of why the card was actually graded a 2. I couldn't see any creases.

    Red Heart - Your cards are nice looking, but because they lack the borders, PSA would put them in AUTHENTIC holders, thus diminishing their value. A rare case where a card is worth more ungraded that graded, as there are a lot of raw Post collectors who aren't picky about the borders, preferring a clean looking card at a fraction of the price. I've found that only on the rarest cards from hand-cut sets, as well as 1959 Bazooka's, is the AUTHENTIC rating not the kiss of death from the reaper himself.

    I would guess that PSA 2 had creases. The '62 I have pictured has a crease on the lower right (which I missed when I bought it) as well as glue marks on the back.

    Well, so much for hidden riches. Amazing how much a mm of paper is worth on a card.
