    Beautiful Cobb. I have no opinion as to the .5 bump as I don't have any exemplars to go by to establish some baselines, but just wanted to say the Cobb caused me to drool. image

    The Clemente scan is terrible for seeing the edges for some reason. Cobb probably not. Mantle maybe.
  • GonblottGonblott Posts: 1,951 ✭✭
    I'll get a new scan.

    The Cobb is a beauty - whether it gets the bump or not - not sure on the .5.

    The Mantle? I think it has a chance.

    It's just so subjective - I have looked at a card and said 8+ but not a 9 - so this one might fall there if I were looking to grade the card.

    Am I correct - due to the value of cards on review - it'll cost 60 bucks to have the Cobb checked?

    Good luck Gonblott - those are some sweet cards!

    Mike, yes every card must be submitted under the tier that its value places it.

    It'll only be outrageous when it comes back as a 5 again. Have you studied a lot of PSA 6 T-206s? How close could yours be, and what flaws does it have that make it a 5? It's definitely a nice card, but I can't tell from a scan if that's a valid grade or not.

    I'd wait to submit until there are a good number of other examples at least from the same set of what constitutes a x.5 grade. For lower grades, like 3-5, where there is a lot of wiggle room and the varying flaws dictate the grade, it might be easier to get. But with 6s and up and strictures are tighter, I'd have to wait and see a lot of examples to even think about doing it, especially if the pricing is according to SMR value.
    WANTED:
    2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25
    2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9
    Rare Grady Sizemore parallels, printing plates, autographs

    Nothing on ebay

    Since the review is sent in while still in the slab, it's value is subject to be declared as the SMR price, and thus submitted at the appropriate value service level.

    My question is what about a guy that has a PSA 8 1959 Pierce A.S. that lists in the SMR for $500, but the last 2 eBay sales have been $3,600 and $3,000? I know in this new .5 review system a declared value can not be lower than the SMR value, but can it be higher than the SMR value? Since the submitter absorbs the return shipping cost my opinion would be that it could be higher than the SMR value, especially in drastic cases like the PSA 8 1959 Pierce A.S.
  • fandangofandango Posts: 2,622 ✭
    NAM, your declared value can definately be higher than SMR, you are paying for it up front and if you think the card is worth more (based on ebay sales) than its your perogative to pay more for return shipping...but this also may put you into the next service level, so you only have so much upward leeway in declared value before falling into next service level....

    In the case you describe the person may want to declare the higher value, that way it would be fully insured.

    You can't use SMR for the review, then declare the higher value for insurance.

    The Cobb wouldn't look out of place in a 5.5. Hey, it's subjective......... I would leave as is and sell at a higher price based on the eye appeal alone if that is what you're doing. It's a beauty.

    Clemente I would leave alone. Looks to be on point.....

    Mantle has a shot IMO. Very sharp looking.

    Would this get a 8.5? Or just stay a solid 8.
  • bluemarlinbluemarlin Posts: 627 ✭✭✭
    Nice Mantle,I think the t/b centering keeps it an 8

    Gonblott,

    Goodluck, It really is a beauty.

    Lost the Mantle at the last second...... =( Been looking for a nice 1960 for a long time too.

    Anyway, what about this card, 8.5 maybe?

    The Cobb is beautiful. If you have the extra 60 laying around I would go for it.
