Wonder what this will end at? (not my card!)

This is a very difficult card with centering issues!
pop 1 and expect it to go for crazy money!

OoOoOoOh lots of 80s Gems!

I dont see it as a 10...more of a 9.5...if you're gonna call it 'Gem Mint' then that black border better be flawless. From those pics it looks like slight chipping

In the most recent SMR there was an advertisement for an auction house with a 1986 Topps Ryne Sandberg PSA 10 pictured and the price was something crazy like $2,400+.

I did a population search and there are three. If this is a pop 1 it has to go for huge money.

WOW, gonna be fun to watch a lot of these 80's classics..........thanks tsalem

Thanks for the link, Tom - I'm interested to watch this auction. I busted two cases of '86 OPC and the best I Sandberg I pulled was a PSA 8. The Nolan Ryan is also very difficult.

I wouldn't think any more than the 550-700 range...no?

I was gonna say in the $250 range cause its OPC. I might be way off base, but thats my thinking on this one.

OPC borders get a little more leeway than Topps. I sort of don't agree with this because a 10 should be a 10 no matter what company produced it but then if allowances weren't made, there would be very few OPC 10's.

The tilt in that card gave me vertigo

If you listen to Jim Rome...it's not Ryan it's Ryne

Never surpirsed when I see a card like this being sold by Probstein or Prewar Card. I personally love the card but I am tired of seeing the stuff going on with these guys per 54 Network threads.

86 is tough in general. There is a thread on the registry forum and a few of the guys are going after the entire set in 9's. Tough grade no matter the player.

tsalems1 · September 2, 2013 8:54AM

I have no idea where this will end but I will guess at $1k+

tsalems1 · September 8, 2013 11:39AM

Over $300 and about to end...

Big80s · September 8, 2013 11:59AM

$512 is the final. That's strong!

ldferg · September 8, 2013 12:10PM

I thought it would hit $1k.

bigdcards · September 8, 2013 1:16PM

Can someone explain why this is a 10? Did OPC try and have terrible edges and diamond cut the cards? I wouldn't not have thought to submit this card for grading at all and here it is as a pop 1 psa 10.
