It is a set registry battle right now but I think there will be a few other lurkers around as the prices for wrestling seem to be back on the upswing after a little bit of a lull with a flood of cards in the market.

    I do not like the top to bottom centering on this one, think I have seen stronger examples in a PSA 9.

    This is the strongest of my three PSA 9's.

    I did not even see your comment until I posted the scan.

    The top to bottom centering is a little off but it is in a PSA 10 holder and there is only currently one.

    Five bidders on this card at $449 or more tells me people would love to own this card......

    Why is Dpecks card bigger?

    I was going to say the same thing. Comparing the two cards, the PSA 10 has a shorter border at the top compared to DPeck's PSA 9, but then if you look at the bottom borders you'll see that DPeck's card is also larger. Hmmmmm....

    The 9 has better top to bottom centering, the 10 has better left to right. It will be interesting to see how high this goes.

    My bad, taking a cursory look it seemed like it to me, what's the top/bottom ratio for both?

    Very nice analysis. It's too bad PSA can't/ doesn't use this kind of analysis and technology when assigning grades. It would eat into their bottomline I imagine as they couldn't grade as many cards per day or they'd have to hire more graders or turn-around times would be longer....all not ideal from a business perspective. I can see where people say "buy the card, not the holder."

    Looks like you're right on the sizing, Paul. Should be interesting to see where this bad boy ends up....

    It's easy to tell when you have two side-by-side one is better. Mistakes happen I guess. Is PSA more liberal in grading cards PSA 10s? It seems like you lose the credibility of PSA 10s when stuff like this happens. It'd make sense to send potential PSA 10s off to an independent team to put more objectivity and analysis into the grade before the final grade is awarded.

    The final price was $810 and the card was won by irvinecardco.

    I guess Orange County Sports Investments are getting into rare wrestling cards.

    Not to my knowledge.

    I don't recall ever seeing that EBAY ID bid on the wrestling cards.

    I do see they have placed 89% of their bids with Probstein.

  • mikliamiklia Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭
    89%, you say? That's almost an A!

    This boggles my mind. I'm a big fan of 80s wrestling, even into the early 90s. Havent really followed it closely for the last 15 years, but this is juts a fugly card. Such an investment...boggles my mind that someone wouldn't want to spend that on a Clemente or a Mantle or anything like that. I know you wouldn't get a PSA 9 at that price, but I just don't see ever getting your money back on that kind of purchase, and honestly its a boring, ugly card.
