in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
I just had some 1962 cards graded and the grades already popped. One of my cards is #1 "The Invasion Begins." It graded 9(oc). There is one other with this grade and no straight PSA 9s. What kind of value do you think a card like this might draw. Mind you, I have no interest in selling it now but, I'm curious. I thought the card might grade PSA 7 and I know a 9(oc) is like a 7 in points. I would love to hear from some of you experienced collectors on this. I have no pics yet. I haven't gotten them back yet.

    I don't think you would get much more than what a 7 would bring. (You never know though)

    IMO it could bring more than what a seven would bring depending on the severity of the OC.

    Without a scan it is hard to give an opinion. Eye appeal is everything when a 9 OC is being discussed.

    Sorry guys,
    I don't have a scanner at home. I'll get an image up soon. I just got the cards back. Thanks for your responses.

    Hi again,
    Hope you can look at these images. The pics are posted with my set registry. B-9's Mars Attacks! # 1.
    I'm very interested in what you think. I tried attaching the files but they were too big.
    Again, thanks for looking

    Hi, few things, that specific 9OC is sweet. IMO it should bring 7.5 to 8 money.

    2.....Your file size is too large because you need a host. At one time you could take the pic from
    the registry and post it here but with the new format I'm not sure if you still can, you need a photobucket
    account ( free) and have them host it. Simply copy and past the url in the message box. (After you upload it of course)

    3....Card 54 I remember when you got it. I needed it too and for some reason I missed bidding on it.
    I knew it was listed yet failed to deliver a bid! I even wrote a thread here about it and said at the time that at least a registry guy got
    it!.

    Anyway, thanks for sharing.

    I can't believe how many sets are listed there now! When I was putting mine together (thanks Richard and Frank)
    I think their was less than 20.

    Good for you.

    Thanks for the thoughtful response.
    I know what you mean about missing bidding. I've passed up some great cards that went for very reasonably low bids, then I kick myself later. The last one I missed ended late at night and I fell asleep on the couch waiting for the final minutes. Oh well. But I've been pretty lucky too so I can't complain.

    I have also had my share of raw cards come back ungraded. I had a couple come back in my last submission, (Mis-cut), and the other didn't meet the minimum size requirement... I looked very closely at the undersized card and compared it with others, and I'll-be-darned if I can see where it's deficient. Maybe it's a good thing I'm not a grader, I wouldn't be so tough on these old cards.

    Thanks for the help and the responses.
