PSA/DNA Red flip vs Blue flip final sales

Has anyone noticed any difference in price difference between blue flip authentic and red flip authentic? Just curious.

I'm not sure if I were just going for the authentic designation it makes much sense or I would ever ask for a red flip. Of course between the red and blue flips I would always choose red flips but get a actual grade.

Barry ... can't help you with final sales, but most of the time I would go for the RED FLIP. The only time I would take a blue flip is if it was on a cheap card and I didn't care if the card was fake. For instance, with the '52 Topps auto set I am working on, I would pay less for a blue flip, not knowing if the card was real or not. I do have some in Blue Flips (that I paid less for than if they were in Red Flips) that I am slowly crossing over into Red Flips.

Thanks guys. I wasnt looking for specific examples but I was wondering if anyone noticed if red or blue were selling higher than the other....or if it seemed like buyers dont care one way or the other.

Always bet on Red

On cards that are frequently counterfeited go with Red flips. On the other stuff ,not much difference.

On a signed 1952 Topps Mantle, you would think that PSA would require it to be in a red flip. I have brought the up in the past. I have seen a 1952 Topps Mantle that was signed and in a blue flip. Technically, this means that only the autograph is authenticated. However, the flip actually says "1952 Topps Mickey Mantle". I have a little bit of a problem with that.
