in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
I am looking for help from all you seasoned well informed card people. I have two 57 Starr PSA 8's. I will probably have to sell one. Can you please give me your opinion on which I should keep. I have posted both fronts and backs of the cards. Thanks as always.

    IMHO the new flip is nicer

    It has better centering and doesn't have the print marks on the portrait side

    Although the reverse centering is way off

    tuff choice I guess

    New flip. Back centering isn't as important as front eye appeal.

    I have to agree with the others - the new flip has much better eye appeal on the front. The back centering bothers me a little, but not as much as the print marks on the top one.

    However, if you like both, perhaps you could sell the "better" one to get more money out of it.

    new flip is way better.

    This Ron Burgundy opinion is brought to you by San Diego Pet Store. Baxter loves the Kibbles and Bits he gets there, you should try 'em.

    Agreed, the second one. First one has snow or something on the image. Kind of suprised it is an 8 with that stuff on it.

    Thanks for your responses, keep, em coming. Regardless of which I will keep, if anyone has an interest in the other one, please let me know, before I put it up on ebay later this week.

    The second one is better. The front appeal is more important than the reverse center. I'd like either one. I'm not sure I could afford it though!

    New flip as well. Better front eye appeal.

    Seems as though the new flip has the vote. Keep opinions coming. I will probably put the older flip on ebay on Tuesday or Wednesday. Let me know if anyone might have interest in the Starr card before I list it. Thanks.

    Not sure what you are paying or paid for either, but I would personally rather pay strong PSA 8 money and get a card that had the front of the bottom card and the back of the top card. Obviously the front is mostly the money side, but the back of the second card is terrible IMO, I just couldn't be happy paying that much money and have that back to look at. I would sell both and buy a nice 8.

    The experts have spoken. The second card (newer flip) has won 14-1. I really appreciate all of your help. I will be selling the first card on ebay in a couple of days. If you have any interest, please pm me or email me at mexpo75@aol.com. Thanks again for all of your help. You guys (and gals) are great!
