Ive been considering building a 1950 Bowman PSA 7 football set. I came across a 1950 Bowman Tittle on ebay tonight but i noticed something odd about it. On the flip what does the bottom line mean? He also has a 1948 Sid Luckman PSA 8 for 75k with the same lab

Check out his 1948 Luckman. Its 30K above SMR and that back looks like its staind with blue ink. Is this common for this issue. What am i missing here?
Nice card too.

Doesn't have anything to do with the card, just with the submitter.
that the card came from a known collector or a notable collection.
SGC does that same thing also, as I have an older card with a Frank
Nagy pedigree (have also seen Lionel Carter on SGC flips).
I'm not sure if PSA will do this for a fee, or if it is done as a favor, perhaps
at their liberty. Some collectors seek out pedigreed flips, as it can be cool
to think of a card residing in a hobby pioneer's collection at one time, but
these cards typically do not command a higher price (they may sell for a
bit more, but not much).
I am not familiar with the name listed on the PSA flip you pointed out, but
I imagine he probably held a high grade Bowman set on the registry. The
seller likely consigned the sale of his set to an auction house, who in turn
had the key cards reholdered with the pedigree on the flip.

Not cause of your comment, but when I said the best of his collection I was referring tothe trophies, awards, programs, you know baseball history. Autos are everywhere, cards are everywhere. But the stuff he had was unique. Thats what i liked about it.

<< <i>A lot of the jerseys he had were fake too - and much of the best real stuff was stolen. Halper was also notorious for trading stolen or fake goods for legitimate ones.

^^^^^This is why I love PSA. Thats a shame alot of his items were fake/stolen.
It has way more meaning in the comic book market and adds in some cases 50% to the value of a comic.
I personally could care less but a lot of collectors out there who seek out these pedigrees from important comic book finds or collections.
Never seen one on a PSA flip before, guessing they don't mean a whole lot in the sports card world.

Right on man, dont we always say "but the card not the slab".
<< <i>Actually it has a stain on the reverse under his "Height", so why didn't this card receive the dreaded (ST) designation???

That looks like the front image is bleeding through to the back. I think PSA treats that differently than a post-production stain.
