    Perfect centering
    I'm sure that someone feels that this card is worthy of cracking and resubmitting.

    Not with that left bottom corner. Besides it would have to bump 2 grades. Why not just purchase a dead center 8.5?

    That card certainly has potential.

    Centering is very nice on that one

    Pretty example but the price is certainly anomalous. These days the waters are murky and it is very hard to tell which sales are attempts to manipulate the data record and which are two or more guys (collectors wanting a great looking card, card doctors seeing a ripe target, mini Gordon Gekkos looking to flip) legitimately competing. In many cases initial fraud “takes” and the broader market accepts the card at a new, higher price point. Crazy times.

    Probably just a case of "if the grade don't fit, . . . "

    Think it should be a 7.5. No idea what this card goes for in that grade but any $ additional to that were overspent. Bottom left is no way an 8.

    What do you expect with PWCC ? I mean really, the list of auctions that are not "Suspect " is a much shorter one.

    Card is a nice 7. Way worth the price. It should have sold for $2003. LOL.

    I will never understand why people waste all that money on PWCC cards. When they can get the same cards for much cheaper. Its like throwing money in the pond.

    nobody on eBay offers his selection and organization.
    You definitely need some discipline or deep pockets, however. His prices realized seem higher than others.
