It absolutely boggles my mind.....

dizzyfoxx · April 12, 2011 9:38AM

....that this T205 Gold Border Christy Mathewson PSA 5 has not been gobbled up yet??? I've been a vintage baseball card collector primarily PSA graded for 10+ years and I've owned two examples of this card in PSA 7 that IMHO were right on par (one actually not quite as nice technically) with this example which is graded PSA 5. I actually preferred this card over those early graded PSA 7 examples and of course the value spread is enormous between a 5 and a 7. I don't mind if this card stays in my collection but if there is a collector out there who is looking for this card in a NM 7 holder for a steal, I doubt you'll find one this nice (but of course the label is a 5). Again, JMHO but I've seen a lot of these (and have owned some) and I can't say enough about the quality of this card!

thats a lot of money.. you can't expect it to just fly off the shelf.. you need the right buyer

otwcards · April 12, 2011 10:06AM

And you might find that buyer in the BST Folder...

Albertdidit · April 12, 2011 10:34AM

Im not saying this to be wize or sarcastic but just wondering if you feel it could be a 7 or a 6 for sure why wouldnt you send it in again?

miconelegacy · April 12, 2011 11:04AM

With that type of card, why can't we zoom in and see it up close? Why not have a closeup scan in the listing.

Just wondering, and it might help if it needs to be sold. I wouldn't even think twice without closeups..

one of my favorite cards of matty...price a little strong though

brendanb438 · April 12, 2011 11:20AM

Card is graded correctly as a 5. All of your puffery hopefully turns people off instead of them thinking derf derf derf this is a 7 for the price of a 5.

Also this isn't the BST forum. Post this were it belongs. Finally if this boggles your mind maybe you should get out of collecting.

WinPitcher · April 12, 2011 11:39AM

My favorite Matty also.

Perhaps it has a wrinkle?

fkw · April 12, 2011 12:45PM

IMHO I cant get past the extremely exaggerated first line in your description.....

The T205 Matty is one of the most common PreWar cards in existence! Period! ....with thousands of them surviving to this day...

over the top hype is a major turn off to me, and Im sure many others in the know... Not to mention the title of the post too.

No comment of the BIN price.

Good Luck

.....how so many guys with coin avatars come over here and have threads blow up in their faces.

Albertdidit · April 12, 2011 1:41PM

Wow all i was saying is it seems you thought it was probably undergraded as a 5 and could be a 6. Why so rude about that?

Sorry for thinking that the "best" 5 on the planet should probably be resubmitted to have a good chance at getting a 6

handyman · April 12, 2011 2:34PM

are you selling or buying. I dont get it

ShootyBabitt · April 12, 2011 9:26PM

Is your scanner broke? Your scan looks familiar.

WinPitcher · April 12, 2011 10:08PM

<< are you selling or buying. I dont get it >>

Now that's funny.

miconelegacy · April 12, 2011 10:28PM

lol

bobbybakeriv · April 12, 2011 11:21PM

From the scan, that card is absolutely not a 7. Sorry, I just don't see it.

WinPitcher · April 13, 2011 12:26AM

I agree, from the second scan it appears to be a lower end 5. What's up with that bottom left corner?

thunderdan · April 13, 2011 1:13AM

I'm not sure...but I think I see Matty's nipple.

Cheer up.

Actually the exposure is outstanding, thanks to everyone. (Although my bad on not putting it in the BST, sorry 'bout that). Card is almost sold.

and for those naysayers, I understand where you're coming from. But, believe me boys, this card is nicer than at least one PSA 7 example I owned ten years ago.

CEOBIDMC · April 13, 2011 8:16AM

Please continue to pat yourself on the back, congratulations on your almost sale of your overhyped and wrongly listed posting. You sir define "winning" in fact, I hear Charlie Sheen is looking for a headliner.

bobbybakeriv · April 13, 2011 8:17AM

Good luck with it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and at the end of the day, you just gotta do what is right for you. I have been wrong many times in the past and hope you get a great deal out of it. Bobby

Stone193 · April 13, 2011 8:31AM

Wish it were a better scan.

Considering how chipped those usually are - I think it's a super 5 and may be under-graded a bit.

Ya gotta love the warm feelings around here.

Seriously though, I know we all wish in this hobby that "apples were apples" and "oranges were oranges" For anyone who has been at this game for 10+ years will no doubt understand that even though this card is an apple today, ten years ago it would have been an orange. Of course this simply my opinion on the condition of a card that I am very familiar with. Thanks again for bringing this thread to the top, but I don't think it's necessary any longer.

Just like we love to see a poster with some actual substance. Maybe one day you will be such a poster.

I love my coin avatar. Makes me feel like one of the cool kids from the coin forums.

What's going on with the bottom left corner?

Scan?

Good luck with the sale.

Hey Steve, fyi, lower left corner is just a miniscule chip of the gold. The corner is still square and NM status sharp.
