    Great looking card! I think it looks like a 5 or 5.5. But I'm going to guess a 2 with a small bit of paper loss on bottom left corner on the front.

    4 bc it looks like i can see the dash - in the middle of the blue.

    You guys sure are harsh! I'd guess, 6.5. Very eye-appealing card. image

    Written almost word for word as to what I was thinking when I saw the card.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Looks like from the scan a speck of paper might be missing under the A of mathewson. Tough to see but that will put in in the 2-3 range if it was pulled off the image.

    Card does look like a 5 but it has flaws that will take it out of that grade.

    4.5 all day long, and there's only 1 on the pop report

    Agreed. Unless it is a trap.

    I had a couple e97's with similar bottom left corners paper loss and they graded them as if the corner was missing image

    I'm going with a 6, possibly a 6st

    No matter what, I would be proud to have this card in my collection!

    I hope I win the contestimage

    Quick hint: It's not a 4.5, for here is the pop 1 graded 4.5 = E95 Matty PSA 4.5

    Someone explain to me how that is a 4.5 up on ebay. Isn't the .5 supposed to be for centering?

    .5 has nothing to do specifically with centering at all. In any card's case, a "4.5" grade means it's been deemed at a quality in between a "4" and a "5".

    OK ... enough guesses ... and the answer is???

    paid a big premium but card is nice.

    Woot!! I guessed correctly image
  • dizzyfoxxdizzyfoxx Posts: 9,823 ✭✭✭


    << <i>paid a big premium but card is nice. >>



    Perhaps. But I paid what I thought was a big premium ($1,500.00) for this same card in a PSA 7 back in Feb. 2000, and frankly it was not much nicer than this present day graded PSA 4 card.

    I sorta wish I had hung on to that little piece of cardboard. image

    Well that's a very nice 4! I like wayne's offerings -- got my one Babe Ruth card (in low grade) from them. image
  • churchiscoolchurchiscool Posts: 534 ✭✭
    wayne usually give me around 8-10% off ebay price if i contact him offline or through his website. he basically discounts you on the ebay fees.

    I feel comfortable saying I got it right at 4.5 and PSA got it wrong
