The only one out of thousands graded. Decided to let it go because I purchased another really (really) expensive card.
For the ultimate Mattingly collector.

PSA 9 Albert Pujols Rookie Cards

The HOF/not HOF doesn't really matter. Just the market price for the card, which is one of the highest of all post-1980 base set cards. While there have been almost 100 PSA Gem Mint 10 Mattingly cards graded and almost 75 Becket Gem Mint 9.5 Mattingly cards graded, this is the first and only to receive a BGS 10 Pristine grading.
What one sees or doesn't in the BGS 10 designation is all in the eye of the beholder I suppose. People regularly pay $1000+ for low population PSA 10 cards that are often commons. This is probably one of the top-5 cards from the 1980s (1980 Topps Henderson, 1982 Topps Ripken Traded and 1983 Topps Tony Gwynn being three others I can think of).
I understand if you don't see a difference between a 9.5 and a 10, or how a modern card could command such a high price. To each his/her own.
<< <i>BGS 10 Pristine cards often bring a substantial premium over PSA 10s, even when there are 5-10 Pristine copies in circulation. They will sell for a multiple over PSA 10 prices. I paid about a 7x premium for a BGS 10 Tony Gwynn rookie at no minimum bid auction (and two others bid around 7x) relative to the PSA 10 market price, and the population on the Gwynn BGS 10 card is 4.

Great Card
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

Worth every penny if you ask me. Good luck with the sale, I'd be in the hunt if it weren't for some recent pick ups and life events.
Nice to see Donnie getting his due in the market
Best of luck
Great card, and I am obviously a huge fan of Donny and that particuar card. Just couldn't spend that huge multiple over a GEM MT one myself.
<< <i>I agree....seems to be a lot for a card of a player not in the HOF...the PSA 10 of this card does not even go for the much...I would lower the price to sell it on here...for that much...I could buy a 52 Topps Mantle card for almost that. >>
OK- Using your logic...why don't you send me all your BGS 10's and I'll replace them with PSA 10's and send back to you. Sounds as if you'd be really happy with that.

Nice sale
