    Awesome! I once found this card in decent shape in a lot of '59 Fleer's on ebay for $50. I sold just that one card the next week for about 165. Congrats on a very rare card in high grade!

    What grade did yours get or did you sell it raw?

    I see an 8 just sold for close to $900 on EBAY.

    What does a card like this bring?

    Sold it raw...would have gotten a 4 probably, maybe a 5. This was years ago too. Not sure what they go for now

    I would think more than $165. Even though this card isn't as rare as collectors once thought, it still has that air of "short print" about it.....

    I should have gotten it graded. It was known to have been a reprinted card so maybe people were wary of buying it raw? It was a regular auction, not BIN.

    I bought that card in 1999 for 900.00 in an SGC 86 from a dealer. It was when SGC was first gaining ground. I took it home and cherished it for about an hr. I notice a tiny dot on the bottom border. It was on both sides. I put it up to a lamp and you could see right through it. A tack hole!!!! I called the dealer and he said ohhh you found it. Well. He did nothing. So I took it with me to that years national and found the dealer. He wasnt happy none the less and disapeared for about 2 hours after I confronted him. So i then took it to SGC and they said where did you buy it from and I showed them the dealers table. SGC said they would make things write with him if he refunded my money. Got a refund but have never replaced that card sense.
    Great card and a PSA 9!! Wont buy it in an SGC ever again. SGC was very very courtious and nice about it then. But still made me upset at the time.
    Also sorry to bring that up, but it made me think of it.

    That is a high end 9! Great pic up!
