Bronco Nagurski


I have had this on my watch list for at least a year and it finally sold.

This is a very rare card and whomever the buyer was has to be proud to own this.

Rick bought it for $810 when it last sold and has had it up for quite sometime.

I only have one card from this set and it was a throw in from a recent purchase and I can attest at how tough it would be to find a card from this set in NM-MT condition. The card stock is very soft and the corners are easily damaged.

I think this is a very fair price for this card.

    I think this is a good deal for this card as well. I do not see this card being graded higher than this PSA 8.

    the night I won it for $810, I had it sniped for $1500

    to me, it should be a HUGE card...

    the industry will catch on eventually to it....

    I have been watching this one as well. I think it is a very solid investment to resell in a couple years. There are not going to be many 8's that show up from this set, let alone Bronco.

    Excellent purchase!

    I would hold onto that card for a while. $1,000 is going to be considered cheap one day for this one.

    I love this card and my PSA 6 is nice, but whoa, a PSA 8 is incredible for a Parkhurst wrestling card. Great card!!!

    Bronko was really big on the Winnipeg wrestling circuit in those days- hence the Parkhurst card. I have a cut auto of Bronko my father got at a match, probably around the time that card was made.

    The card has went up on the online price guide to $915 which is higher than the previous listing which was $800 for the PSA 8 Nagurski.

    Post a link when you can. I want to see what that card looks like. That is a strong number.

    Nagurski


    This card is proving to be a strong wrestling card. Once again props to Knapp for pulling the trigger on the PSA 8. That card is a monster and I think in the right auction format would get some serious action from non wrestling card collectors.


  • DanBessetteDanBessette Posts: 6,421 ✭✭✭
    Exactly. I don't care for wrestling, but I'm a football collector, so I'd love to own that card if I had the coin.

    Bronko PSA 6


    This is the third time this card has been auctioned off in a month.

    By the same seller?

    I'm blocked from this seller. I think this seller has a history of taking raw cards and altering the scans heavily and making them seem way better than they are in reality. I have no problem in not buying from someone who in my opinion is extremely suspect.

    Why did he/she block you?
  • hammeredhammered Posts: 2,671 ✭✭✭
    Buying graded cards from her would be ok
    But she photoshops her raw card scans to remove flaws

    I left negative feedback after getting some cards that were way worse than the scans......a lot of times I will just take the loss, but knowing of the intentional deception was a little too much for me.

    PSA 8.5


    This card has been listed for quite some time on EBAY and finally sold for $375. That has to be a good sign for higher graded copies from this set and especially the PSA 8 Nagurski.
