Hi everyone,
I had several raw1971 Killebrew's, including a couple I bought from Mark Murphy that he said were from vending.
Along the way I picked up a PSA 9 for my PC.
Sent them in and the best one was this one;
In hand card looks better, scanner seems to have distorted the left side, as well as making it look like it has white "spots". Last month a 9 sold for $500.00 and 8's go for about $50.00. I put this one on eBay with an opening bid of $200.00 and didn't get any bids.
Pop report says; no 10's, thirty-four 9's and nine 8.5's. What would you guys do? Send in for a review, crack it out and resubmit? This one looks as good as my 9.
By the way, I am unemployed right now, so I need to get some cash out of this card. Someone said an 8.5 is like kissing your sister, I don't have a sister, but I think I know what he meant!
Thanks for any input!

Selling the 9 never crossed my mind. I am #2 in the Killebrew Registry and don't like to downgrade.
Why am I in the wrong forum? I was not offering it for sale, and $125.00 doesn't seem like a fair price to me in either case. That's my point, selling it as it is brings me no where near mid point ($225.00) value between an 8 and a 9.
TRIAPD?
Anyone think it might bump to a 9 if I send it in for a review?

Joe,
TRIAPD - The Registry is a Powerful Drug
Just pointing out to NVBaseball why you (or me for that matter if it was my 9) wouldn't be selling the 9.

This is the sports talk forum. Sports CARD forum is three floors up.
I might get more help if I post in the appropriate forum.
