Small poppage, Arnold Palmer rookie! SCAN POSTED

Big80s

These grades just popped yesterday. I was hoping for a better grade on the Clay, but the Arnold Palmer rookie is awesome!

wow! congrats!

I thought I recall you posting a while back that a PSA 6 went for $700+.

Any idea what this card could bring in that grade?

Nice job by the way!!

Big80s

Thanks guys! In response to your question, D - I'm not sure. I've never seen anything over a PSA 6 for sale. I believe there is one 8.5 and two 9's out there - but none of them are for sale. I plan to sell this guy, so we'll soon find out. I'm just excited to have received that grade!

Great job on the Palmer! -- That said, I think you sent me the wrong Palmer rookie on the one you sold me

Big80s

Thanks Eloy! Did you ever resub that card?

No I still have it in the authentic slab. I enjoy having it displayed too much right now to ship it out. Once the "newness" wears off I will send it out West.

Big80s

As long as you enjoy it - there's really no reason to try to get it upgraded. But I still think it's at least a PSA 3.

2 great cards. I have that palmer on my want list and giving up on the mira palmer after someone asked 15k for it in ex condition..

Big80s

Wow - I just found the exact card on eBay right now. This is not my card, but it is the same grade as the one I'm waiting to get back from PSA: eBay AUCTION LINK

Big80s

BTW - just to prove that I was not plugging my own item - as it would certainly look that way after finding the very item we were discussing on eBay.

Here is the cert # for mine that just popped:
2 1 20407601 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1965 BANCROFT TIDDLERS GIANTS OF SPORT-HAND CUT 26 ARNOLD PALMER PIGGOTT BACK Card

No one accused me of anything - I just know how the board prefers to keep things transparent around here.

Love,
Jeff

Congrats Jeff on a great poppage,did u cut this card out yourself,I have both these giants of sport books but I haven't had the courage to cut them myself yet,

Big80s

Thank you, Simon. I did not cut it. I don't have the courage (or know how) to cut cards of this caliber either.

Hiya Jeff - congratulations!

Can you take the time to post a pic? I don't think I know what the card looks like?

Big80s

Hi Mike! I'll post one for ya as soon as I get home. It's a great-looking card!

Big80s

I'm attempting to do this from my phone, so I apologize if it doesn't work...

cpamike

Jeff, great job on the Arnie!!! Looking forward to seeing the picture of it.

Congrats!!!

Big80s

Thank you, sir!

Very cool card Jeff - don't think I've ever seen it before.

Again - congratulations on the grade.

The Palmer PSA 8 that was being auctioned just ended for $1324. I'd be very happy if mine got anywhere near that!

Dpeck100

The last minute was explosive!!!

Big80s

Indeed! The price of the card doubled during the last ten seconds of the auction.

Big80s

I just got mine back in the mail today from PSA...

simon2010

Sorry if I get this wrong but are the 2 pics different cards

Big80s

Yes. The other two images I posted were just to show what the card looks like. The scan I posted today was the from the submission I recently got back.

Big80s

This card is pretty hot right now. After the first PSA 8 popped up and sold for $1324, a PSA 8.5 and a PSA 9 popped up and fetched huge prices:

PSA 8.5 Auction results

PSA 9 Auction results

Dpeck100

Jeff it looks to me as if the PSA 9 was ended early. Did it sell?

I think this card would look amazing signed.

Big80s

The same person that bought the PSA 9, also bought the PSA 8 I recently had graded. The PSA 9 went for $3800.

Dpeck100

This is a very cool card.

Big80s

I agree with you 100% regarding this card looking great autographed. The Ali card from the set would look great, as well. Where's Mike Navarro in this conversation?
