Hey all. I’m considering taking a shot at the following auction. But wondered if the crack in the case would scare you. The card itself seems a little weak for the grade but not really sketchy. And the seller has perfect feedback on over 20K transactions. So I don’t question the seller at all. Just a little hesitant to go after a card like this when there are any red flags. But it’s selling at a discount right now due to the case I believe.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Jeff

    The crack in the case doesn't scare me but that does not look like a 4. Did they provide a back scan?

    Yes. Back is clean but corners look more like a 3 to me as well. And right now it’s selling at the price of a 3.

    The saying is “buy the card not the holder”. But in this case, I’d pass on both.

    I agree. Unless they're selling it at a VG price point, I'd pass.

    Thanks guys. That is exactly what I did as well. It crept up to well over 3K. When I was looking it was around 1700.
