Did anybody else see that this card is coming up in the April SCP Auction? Any takers on how much that will go for? The card is a 1 of 1. I can't believe no one else has pulled a PSA 10.

    I am guessing $270,000 or higher.

    Thanks for that link. This is the first time I've actually seen the card. Pretty amazing.

    By the way, it's obviously a tough issue, but doesn't it seem a little off left to right for a PSA 10?

    I'm guessing $140K plus the house vig...

    Scott you know way more about cards then me but I am guessing a super rich Canadian natural resource guy goes nuts and tops my $270,000 estimate. The Canadian dollar is up and so are there stock prices.

    i got approximately 43/57 left to right, so technically it falls under the standards of a PSA 10 which is bs in my opinion. maybe my standards are to high, but i would like to think a gem mint copy of a card would apear centered side to side and top to bottom.

    I'm guessing between 200 - 250K.

    The written standards for a 10 are 55/45 both T/B and L/R. That's not to say the standards are always applied uniformly.

    The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.

    Wow, a quarter million estimate, eh? That's a lot different than $80K. I think it might gets 6 figures.....we should have a contest

    Along those lines, does anyone know exactly how PSA measures that? They don't scan and digitize a card, so it has to be done using a scale or an overlay, right?

    I personally think it's over valued and may not even break even. Then again, that's me.

    So if this card goes for over $125,000 would that make it the largest price tag for a modern card ever? I remember a Tiger Woods SI Kids card in a PSA 10 selling for over $125,000 back in like 2001. If it does in fact go for over 100 grand - that's a pretty big deal for the sports card industry.

    An '86 Fleer Jordan BGS 10 sold for I think $200K or so a while back.
