    The problem is 9's don't come up that often. If someone were to say I'll give you my 9 and a bunch of cash I would consider it. As of now, I'm thinking of keeping it, but then again, if another one were to pop or something I guess the value would be cut way down.

    Exactly, The time to sell is now. The pop cant get any lower. You can only hope that over the years they keep grading the card and limited 9's and no more 10's get graded. I don't know enough about the issue to say if it is likely to stay 1/1

    Mike ... the time to sell a 1 of 1 ... is WHEN it's a 1 of 1! LOL

    I'd go to The Registry, see who has a 9 and send them all emails. I'd even email those with 8s if their other cards are 9s and 10s.

    Yeah, I may do that. But there is another way to look at it. I collect Fisk and just got a PSA 10 Fisk for what I paid for the 9 (like $120 if I remember correctly about a year ago) plus the cost of mailing to PSA for a review. So while I could take advantage of the market value-wise, as a collector, I feel like I just got a huge bargain too. I'll think it over for a few days. Heck, if you told me it was a $1000+ card I'd probably have to sell because I could wait on another 9 and use the money to pick up a Ted Williams rookie that I always wanted. Decisions, decisions....

    That card was originally sold by 4sc.

    See, big submitters don't get all the breaks.

    (I checked the images on VCP out of curiosity--they sold it to the guy who sold it to you.)

    Very nice bump Mike, but my opinion is that ya gotta sell it. I'm doing the 1972 set graded, and when my Tony Oliva went from an 8.5 to a 10 I knew it had to go because it's only weighted a 1.5, and doesn't impact the overall GPA enough to keep it.

    Edited to add: Nevermind, it is a pop 1.
  • CWCW Posts: 1,231 ✭✭✭
    Judging just by the scan, that card will not look out of place
    in a "10" holder. And a sweet card, too.... looks like Fisk is
    awaiting a throw from the outfield with a runner coming in.

    Very nice!

  • heritageheritage Posts: 2,662 ✭✭✭
    Sweet...Congrats on the bump

    Nick,

    How much was the hammer price on that Oliva card, if you don't mind me asking?

    Beautiful card, Mike. I concur with the majority, you should flip that thing. As you said, another 9 will come along and in the meantime, somewhere a Teddy Ballgame's looking for a new home.

    Congrats on the bump Mike. That card is awesome! Hopefully one of the set collectors will give you an offer you can't refuse. If not, I'm sure you'll get an offer later on you can't refuse.
