question on advertising pop's....(paypal)

begsu1013

considering paypal's new policy on not as described, just curious on what the forums stance was on advertising pop's when a card is for sale...

presented scenario:

joe blow psa 7 = pop 2

joe blow psa 9(oc) ='s pop 7


what exactly should joe blow's pop be in a psa 7, pop 2 or pop 9?

Pop 2

Even though they are valued the same, they are 2 different grades

just trying to wrap my head around it and putting myself on both sides of the fence...

so if it's a pop 2, then do you consider an 8oc higher?

an 8oc would have a value of a 6

begsu1013

that does not answer my question! ; )

This.

asked nothing about "value" of the the card...

if you take the stance that it's a pop 2, is the 8oc higher? yes or no?

An 8OC usually goes by a value of 6.

6 is less than 7.

An 8OC is less than 7.

A nicely centered 7 usually goes for more than an 8OC of the same card.

I understand that qualifiers generally (but not completely all the time) knock the value of the grade down by 2.

however my question spawns from the variant difference between the pop report that is displayed by the "cert verification" page and the "my inventory" page, if anyone else uses happens to use that.

where as on the "cert veri" page lists as pop 2 with 11 higher vs the "my inventory" page lists pop 11 shows only 2 higher....

so can I state that it's a pop 2 with only 2 higher? seems greyer than this backdrop and/or bending the rules without completely breaking them....

just want to make sure it's properly advertised when it comes time to sell...

i'm a golfer and firmly believe in using the rules to your advantage, but then again the first rule in golf is to always conduct yourself in a gentlemanly fashion.

The "higher" or better card is the one that looks better, no matter what the stickers say

everybody quit skirting the question:

"so can I state that it's a pop 2 with only 2 higher?"

my intention isn't to ruffle any feathers, just friendly debate and want to make sure i'm doing what's right....

Pop 2.

Say whatever you want.

First world problem. Sheesh.

begsu1013

ok pop 2 it is! now, 2 higher or 11 higher?

trying to cover the proverbial bases considering ebay's/paypal's new policy. seems like this is something that could definitely come into play as not being accurately described.

MULLINS5

I'd say pop 2 w/ 2 higher and in the description say pop 2 w/ 2 higher not including qualifiers.

begsu1013

it's so simple, it's brilliant. I like the way you think, mullins, mullins, mullins!!!

If it has anything to do with owning, trading or selling reprint cards that are actually counterfeits then, unfortunately, I can't help you.

begsu1013

no dilemma there.
