Suggestion of which card to get: Jackie Robinson Leaf PSA

Hi guys,

I haven't posted in awhile and have decided to finally make a big purchase. I would like to get the boards opinion/suggestion. The card in mind is a Jackie Robinson Leaf 1948.

Two cards that are currently posted on eBay are;

PSA 3 - Jackie Leaf

PSA 4 - Jackie Leaf

I prefer to buy a graded card for the sense of security. Which card do you think looks better? I'm leaning towards the PSA 3 even though the corners are rounded. How much do you think a PSA 3 would cost? I've searched for completed auctions on eBay and it's anywhere between 1K and 1.5K. I don't want to spend more than 2K on the Jackie Robinson, so should I hold up for another card to appear on eBay with a higher grade?

Thanks in advance!

    The PSA 3 card has really shot up in price. I remember when I sold mine for around $600. One card I wish I had back......
  • Hmmm, the two cards from the pics provided are not that far apart as far as centering goes. given the price point, i would go after the PSA 3

    wow, no kidding Bobby! i picked up my PSA 5 at the show in 2011. glad i did lol

    I think a lot of people are looking at the 4 and thinking that it could be bumped up a grade or more??
  • I think is there was a bump to be had it would be on the 3
    It never leaves you...

    In all honesty, I love the centering on this '3' better than the two you listed.....brand new listing...
