    That card is the Godiva of chocolates.

    Looks like his other 4 hovered between $700-770 and this one shot the moon. It does look good.


    Thanks,

    Wow that's Three times the average price of this card.

    A very sharp card and a nice 9
    But I think the reverse centering (off-center both directions), would keep it a 9 if the buyer hoped for a bump.

    Not gonna lie, that has a chance to bump.....the reverse seems to be within recent tolerances for some other PSa 10's I have seen.

    Anyone know the statistics on successful bump reviews rate?
    I'm thinking less than 5%.

    If it was a common, maybe. "THE" card of this set, zero chance.

    Sweet card. The centering on the back and that dot under Manhattan Beach?

    I have seen a number of highly scrutinized cards like the Montana with poor back centering in 10 slabs. I think if the buyer cracks and subs this card over and over there is a decent chance it bumps.

    Seems like the right edge (by his wrist band) has a few minor notches in the edge - I assume that is why it is a 9 and not the reverse centering?

    To each their own but I am sure you could have found another card with the same chances for less then half.
    I actually hate the top to bottom centering on that one and if it was me I would not have added the sticker to it.

    I understand what you're saying, but the top/bottom centering is only fractionally off, and barely noticeable. Without that very slight centering shift, it's probably a 10, right? 9's are not perfect, there has to be something wrong with them somewhere? This 9 looks pretty darn good to me, worthy of a sticker IMO.
    Collecting PSA 9's from 1970-1977. Raw 9's from 72-77. Raw 10's from '78-'83.
    Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks.
    Prefer to buy in bulk.

    Nice montana but back centering keeps it a 9.

    The top to bottom centering is what kept me from going for it. It's a nice card, but to me it wasn't worth the extra juice.
