Did anyone else catch the raw ‘74 OPC’s sold by Slab Sharks Inc on eBay within the past week or so? $637 for Schmidt, $519 for Ryan, $401 for Winfield, and $181 for Jackson. The seller listed the condition for all as “ungraded-poor” which is obviously inaccurate based on the photos and resulting bids. The cards were photographed in sleeves so it’s even more difficult than normal to judge condition. Some bidders were clearly willing to gamble that the condition is better than what can be determined from the photos. Some sellers provide their own grades for raw cards, such as Greg Morris, which some buyers put a lot of stock in; not the case with this seller but enough people were still willing to bid high regardless. Given the high value for high grade vintage OPC these days, there are clearly folks out there who are willing to gamble big that they’ll land a high grade raw card at a relatively good price.

I was in on the Ryan. thought i put in a really strong bid, but lost it at the end. i dont mind raw, up to a point, but get a little worried when i cant see the card in hand and see if it measures up!! in fact, the ryan card is the reason i started the thread about tariffs on cards from Canada. wanted an idea up front what i may be looking at as far as that went.
YEah the RYan looked nice even at a five it would be a nice card. Probably need a 6 to get your money back. I have a rose that looks just the ryan centering wise it is a SGC 6. Corners soft. Hard to tell about the ryan overall.
