.....seems to have alot of nice cards....

I like buying raw cards....he sure does crack 'em out fast! I guess Great Lakes selling formula is appealing to copycats...

MULLINS5 · January 17, 2011 12:44PM

That doesn't look like the same card.

bobbyw8469 · January 17, 2011 12:47PM

I was looking at the blue line/dot in the bat to the left of the name......do you see it? It doesn't matter...I want to crack out all my cards and sell them raw too.......carry on

OAKESY25 · January 17, 2011 1:05PM

I concur.. not the same card

handyman · January 17, 2011 1:36PM

How did he discribe the card when sold????
Did he lie about it being graded or what?

handyman · January 17, 2011 1:47PM

Seems fine obviouw MC and decent corners not sure if authentic but Looks fine to me.

bobbyw8469 · January 17, 2011 7:45PM

No...he didn't lie per se. Other than saying he had decent centering.......the market for raw cards seems to be alot stronger than graded cards that's for sure. What I was looking at in the two cards was the blue mark in the bottom of the card where the "remote controls" were. Maybe it isn't the same card.......

<< That doesn't look like the same card. >>

It isn't.

msassin · January 17, 2011 11:29PM

Not to change the conversation of it being a different card....but why wouldn't someone want to crack out a PSA5(MC)?

Remote controls, in 1955?

i'm certain married women all over America were hoping they'd manufacture one of those you could aim at your husband.

He couldve easily covered up the dot and chipping.

The card on the right has a tilt; the one on the left does not.

WinPitcher · January 18, 2011 5:50AM

What about the left to right centering? He changed that too?

The color?

detroitfan2 · January 18, 2011 6:54AM

He clearly trimmed off what was left of the top border and glued it to the right side to change the centering. How obvious does it have to be for you Steve?

thunderdan · January 18, 2011 7:00AM

I think Joey (aka CrimsonTider) had plenty of experience with Uncle Bill's Treasures, but he is no longer with us.

bobbyw8469 · January 18, 2011 7:12AM

I was just looking at the blue mark....everyone else is mentioning other things but noone is mentioning the blue mark.....doesn't anyone think it is ironice that it is in exactly the same spot with the exact same curvature??

Your last few threads have been really sharp,

he sure does crack 'em out fast! I guess Great Lakes selling formula is appealing to copycats

try not to F%%$ with people's business by falsely calling them out.

WinPitcher · January 18, 2011 7:37AM

Bobby

The blue mark is due to registration. Yes they are similar.

However, the card has different centering and color.

Yesterday when you first posted this I was going to reply:

I'm not sure of your point here. I still am not.

What exactly is your point?

Toro · January 18, 2011 7:41AM

Look, it's clearly not the same card....the top border of the slabbed one has more border to it....as anyone would say....buy the card, not the holder....if someone is going to pay you more for a RAW card....then that's on them....as long as you describe the flaws as best as possible to them...and don't hide anything...

MULLINS5 · January 18, 2011 7:50AM

I know nothing about this card but there are some (like the 1987 OPC Mike Bossy #105) which have print spots...the Bossy has a pink spot on the right border on almost every single one I've seen.

bobbyw8469 · January 18, 2011 7:53AM

No point being made...my apologies to Uncle Bill, Great Lakes, Waverly etc......I am just a humble peasant.

handyman · January 18, 2011 7:54AM

What about the yellow dot by his elbow???? Case closed!! not the same

MULLINS5 · January 18, 2011 7:55AM

rofl

bobbyw8469 · January 18, 2011 7:56AM

Yes...you are correct,,,,,,I am a humble peasant........I made a mistake...my apologies please

Don't forget this one!!

RipublicaninMass · January 18, 2011 7:57AM

bobbyw8469 · January 18, 2011 7:59AM

Yes...for you Miss!

RipublicaninMass · January 18, 2011 8:02AM

bobbyw8469 · January 18, 2011 8:04AM

Yes!!

What is Joe Theisman?

bobbyw8469 · January 18, 2011 8:39AM

What are you doing Goye???? Playing Jeopardy? I haven't even posed the statement yet....ok...I will play along....

The greatest NFL quarterback that ever lived, he was born Sept 4th, 1949 and played college football at Notre Dame.

No, because some print defects are not unique to a single card. Thought everyone had run into that.

TNP777 · January 18, 2011 8:46AM

<< What is Joe Theisman? >>

heh - anyone remember the Joe Theismann pencil sharpener on Letterman? IIRC, it was part of a "bad Christmas gifts" bit that he did many moons ago. He also had a Don King yule log and a drooling baby salad dressing dispenser.

Like Doug E Fresh said.....keep risin' to the top!

<< Can someone please tell me what just happened? >>

Bobby assumed a seller was pulling a Great Lakes MO, who has an established history of cracking PSA slabs and selling raw, with the Mantle pictured above.

At first glance, the cards look similar but the tilt is pretty obvious. If he took 1 minute to look at the top right corners, this thread wouldn't have seen the light of day, IMO.
