    I love rose so someone could have 50 buck to spend on a decent raw card. It happens

    Does the top right edge of that card look suspicious, or is it just me?

    I wasn't even referring to that but was noticing the o/c, chipping, bad left corner, etc.

    I think it happens. Not crazy prices but 50 bucks
  • WalterSobchakWalterSobchak Posts: 2,096
    If it's not trimmed, that card looks like a 6 to me...... but if all the planets aligned I could see it sneaking into a 7 holder. A PSA 7 sells for more than the current price.
    So I guess I don't think things look all that ridiculous at this point. If the hammer price gets much higher, then yes.

    At least the seller gives you a decent scan, so you can judge for yourself.

    I would believe that raw card sales are generally higher when PSA has 4.50/5.00 specials.

    They must be using their Beckett Price Guide and aren't aware of the Dr. Lou 90% off rule...

    Beckett says that's a $125 card so this auction was underpriced.
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,447 ✭✭✭✭✭
    who knows, 50 years from now it could be 1000.00 thats why we buy them

    The warning signs are there.

    1) he is selling psa graded cards too- check out his auctions
    2) based on that he certainly knows (or should know) that a nrmt/mt 1971 topps card can't have corners like what you're seeing.
    3) easy return policy basically lets the buyer see for themselves whether it's overgraded or not. Having 'nrmt/mt' in the title will bring more attention and money than to say that most of those '71 raw cards he has are ex, exmt, or nrmt.

    Solid NM/MT condition according to the seller. Usually I deduct two full grades off the seller's description when determining how much to bid, but in this case I'd say more like three or four. That's not even close to NM/MT on that card.

    onefasttalon: Please leave Thurman Munson and his intelligence (or lack thereof) out of this discussion...I guess people fall hook line and sinker when sellers state MINT or NM-MT--and this type of result can only encourage more sellers to "stretch the truth" with condition. Hopefully he gets zinged with a few SNAD reports

    Who is this Beckett clown?

    And why do you believe everything he says is FACT!


    I am my own price guide! image
    I have personally seen what cards have sold for, for the last 30 years.
    Going up, down, stayed the same, etc.

    Thats the best knowledge you CANT Buy image

    Work on being your own guide.

    Its all a fun hobby and some need to see this.

    PS.That '71 Rose is nice and pre1990 it was a NRMT+ card.
