    << <i>From your original post:



    << <i>it's OC. It DOES NOT have the qualifier though. Honestly, the grader was BLIND because this think is ridiculously OC (which, obviously detracts from it's eye-appeal). It's got great corners and almost NO other wear >>



    After seeing the card, it's graded accurately and think you calling the grader "BLIND" was inappropriate.

    / $0.02 >>




    What I mean (and thought I protrayed accurately) was that it's ridiculously OC, but does not have the qualifier (meaning I thought it SHOULD have been OC). Then another poster informed me that because of a 4's centering guidelines, a 4OC does nt really exist.

    Did you see any of that?

    Thanks man! The intention was to try to flip it to get a 49 Bowman Robinson for my set. I might just keep this for my PC though, and get the 49 another time. I'm worried that I might not profit on this card.

    List it with a reserve.

    That's the problem, I dont kow how much to list it for.

    The last two (thanks to DataDriven05 for the links) sold at $511.00 and $570.89. I think mine's condition is closer to the second auction.

    The $511.00 acution
    The $587.89 auction

    Should I try a $600.00 or best offer auction format? Or let her go with a $500.00 reserve?

  • Options
    Also, why are these listings so high? Should I be asking more?

    PSA 1 for $525.00
    PSA 3MK for $675.00
    PSA 4 for $795.00

    Well, there are better eBay experts than me here, but I did a quick bit of research for you. The 10th current finest 48 Leaf set on the Reg is 94% complete and missing the Robinson. Maybe he would be interested. You should email him. He has 4's in his set. Maybe you could swing a deal for something you're looking for or another cool card and grab some good karma for trading with a registry guy.

    I wonder if the registry guy might be reading this thread and might not be so quick offer you profit? Just a thought...

    You could be right. I was just trying to provide him another possible way to part with the card. Is that your registry? I wasn't sure if there was etiquette to posting someone else's registry info on the board so I just said what number on the current finest (basically a "go see for yourself" post). If there is etiquette there that I violated, please let me know so I can avoid it in the future.

    It's not Pauls set, no, and as far as I know, there's no etiquette that you've violated. A ton of people were talking about the 67T regitsry when Bryon got his lot of cards in the Mantle thread.

    Paul, I agree though, I've already said what I paid, so they might not be quick to buy if they see this.

    My two outstanding questions are still open...

    1) Should I try a $600.00 or best offer auction format? Or let her go with a $500.00 reserve?
    2) Also, why are these listings so high? Should I be asking more? (see links below)

    No its not my set like Alan said, and IMO you did npot do anything wrong- your just helping a fellow board member out image

    What I meant is he might be reading the thread and wont offer as much because he knows what Alan is into the card for. But if someone needs a card-myself included -sometimes money is not the formost issue!

    I'm off to the 4PM Monarchs game. Back at around 7:30 (eastern) or so. Please keep the replies coming as I'd like to get this on the Bay tonight (but I dont know which format is best).

    Thanks all!!

    I think you should start it at $800 with a best offer option, then verbally assault anybody who offers less than $500.

    Pass on the card.

    Buy the Bowman you need, you will have trouble flipping the Leaf card with the OC.

    PS ALL Leaf cards are from 1949 not 1948, even the ones with the 1948 copyright.

    The Leaf and Bowman are Robinson's first mainstream issues,That's why they are considered his
    rookie cards.

    FKW, I think what TheMcgwireMuseum meant was that I already have the card, so I cant exactly pass on it.

    Jackie's on eBay!

    I went with the $0.01 no reserve format.

    CONTEST!!! Whoever guess closest (without going over) to the final bid wins a 2007 Upper Deck #65 Manny Ramirez card in PSA 10 (pop 2). Only one guess per person, no editing. Guesses must be in before 5PM (eastern) next Sunday.

    Wish me luck on the card and good luck with your guesses!!!

    Just so people could jump right to the contest without having to read all the background on the investment (since it's irrelevant at this point because I've purchased the card).

    Should I have left it alone? Sorry guys...

    Thanks for playing 70chip. Yeah, I normally would just keep it, but I'm REALLY looking forward to getting the Jackie I need for my set (49 Bowman). It's the toughest card in the set.
