Recent '72 pick up's... crossovers? Update... Fisk Scan

Been buying a lot of cards for my newest '72 set and picked these two up. I got them both well below VCP in their current holders and a ton below VCP if they cross to PSA. Crossover worthy?

Picked up another one tonight for way less than VCP

'72 Yaz

This is one of my favorite cards of all time

'72 Fisk Rookie

I have no idea how this card fell through the cracks at this price, lol



'72 Mays

    There isnt a lot of wiggle room on the Fisk as it has to get a PSA 9 for it to work out for you. Anything less is a killer. The Mays has more flexibility since crossing lower to an 8 breaks even, and an 8.5 makes you a few bucks.

    yeah, I wouldn't cross them for anything less than their current grades, wouldn't make sense from a market value perspective. Avg. VCP on the Fisk in it's current holder is $286, but $422 in a PSA 9 holder. VCP on the Mays in it's current holder is $145 but that's because there haven't been any recent sales. In a PSA 8.5 holder it's $96 and I think $55 or so in a straight 8 holder.

    Fisk is a nice card Tommy. Tough call, but if it's just a C/O you don't have too much to lose. BTW, in the past 7 months that grade has sold only twice ... yours and one for $270.00 in August. GOOD LUCK!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    My experience with cross-overs is not very good. In fact, I can't recall actually getting any card of significance successfully crossed-over
    by PSA. Perhaps its a bit harder to assess the card in an existing TPG slab so the grading process may need to be a bit more conservative.
    Can't say for sure.

    If you really want to take the chance I say crack it out and send it in raw hoping for the best. If it doesn't come back the way you hope
    you can either try it a second time or send it back to SGC raw, as SGC is pretty likely to be consistent and give you another 96 holder.

    Tough to tell with those scans. A good scanner is cheap. I'll never understand why someone doesn't want the best possible image quality on anything they are selling. Certainly going to lose a lot of bidders if you can't see item clearly.

    Good luck!

    I'm pleased with the Fisk card. Gonna try to cross to PSA 9.

    Great looking card. I think that has a good shot at a 9. FYI I had a FISK PSA 8 that was absolutely beautiful and I had the card reviewed at the National in Baltimore and it came back a 9. Good Luck
