2012 Topps Update Bryce Harper

sinoth23

Modern Collectors - ripped a box of 2012 Topps Update and pulled a gold Harper. To me it looks like a 9...slightest touch of white on 2 corners; great centering, edges, and surface. My question- thinking about moving it. Better to do so raw or send in to be graded? Thanks in advance.

I think it's an 8 if graded. Is this to keep or sell?

sinoth23

Sell. You think the corners take it down to an 8? Thanks

1 touch... 9. 2 touch, 8. Centering is really good though... maybe a 8.5... and possibly a 9 if you get the right grader! Touching on the top right doesn't look as bad as the left, so you never know. Good luck regardless what you decide, nice card.

I hate that I've become this guy, but I'd grade it just to avoid the following scenario.

Seller: Card listed as NM-MT, 2 corners highlighted and referenced in description.
Buyer: ZOMG I GOT THE CARD, THIS HAS NO CHANCE AT A 10! I WANT 20% BACK!!
Seller: wtf.

Fair point. Thanks for the input.

By beckett:
Corners 8.5
Centering 9.5, maybe 10
edges 9
surface 9

Just my opinion.

I know you asked about best Way to move it and grade or raw. I personally do not buy any key RC cards of anyone in the last 10 years unless it's graded. I feel like if it's raw and a high value Trout or Harper it's not graded for a reason that I may or may not be able to see in the pic. Of course maybe I miss out on a deal from time to time but that's the way it goes I guess.
