It's centered nice but wow is right. The high bidder looks legit, I don't really understand it. Maybe it's the only one available and he has to have one today?
Since a 9 sold that high, I thought I'd show this one and find out what y'all think. 10 maybe? 9 for sure? No wrinkles or any thing else hidden. I've been over this at least 20 hours total in the past 4 or 5 years. Loop, black light, FBI microscope. Nothing. Let me know. Joe

I have to think that the $177 psa 9 had a qualifier. I think someone said they seperate those on VCP but there has to be a catch there, maybe a (0) feedback seller.
2deuces- That is a nice card, a little oc on the back but still nice on the front. I think it will be a 9 as they are very hard on those stickers, just try to find a Kareem- the prices are crazy.

actually allen no it was a straight psa 9. the guy who bought this sgc 9 bought the psa 9 for 177.00 as well and also it was a seller with over 700 feedback @ 99.9% positive and accepted paypal and everything else. heres a link.
mike while agree ebayers are crazy about centering just as many or more are crazy about the grade on a slab more that the card itself.. while i agree thats not a very atractive 9 its the only one i could find on ebays completed auctions along with the other 2 i listed.
edit to add..
the guy who purchased the psa 9 and sgc 9 also bought this gem grading version for over 300.00 as well he must have some money to burn or something. link
I'm not criticizing the PSA 9 - it's just an observation. I've found the same thing with 8s in collecting 63F's; I can get a 60/40 card for half smr compared to a centered one.
I think the card's great for that price!!!
Now on the Gem? That's pure trash! I will guarantee a trim job 99.9%
There's nothing alleged about Gem - the company is owned by a crook - cards submitted by crooks and cards sold by crooks. With very rare exception IMO.
Any 'excuse' or rationalization by a seller - that "I just sells them" is pure crap IMO.
A seller has an obligation - no matter how much they'll weasle out on this issue. Off the soapbox.
Mike, I hear ya 100% and I see what your'e saying. As for that gem version mentioned earlier It's a shame how many buyers you see still purchase this crap.

bgs 9 = 500.00 buy it now
bgs 9 = 569.00

Yes and no on the PSA9 "deal" - check out the centering - if this were well centered? If would not have gone for that price IMO.
ebayers are insane about centering - it appears.
