Got an unsigned Aaron today. Debating on whether or not to be crazy with it and send it off in care of the Braves as a couple people have had success getting autographs that way, but that's not the purpose of this post. This is a , guess the grade post. It's already slabbed and I'll reveal the grade later tonight, but here's a pic for those that like to try their grading skills.

i'm going 3

3/3.5

Nice card, I would believe a 5. I Have a 58 aaron, not that good of condition listed as $125 In Beckett, But PSA $100 IN ex5, So my 1958 aaron is probably worth $5.00

Is the top right corner scratched or creased?

123Slider · May 8, 2008 11:39AM

3 if the tops right is as appears.

OAKESY25 · May 8, 2008 11:49AM

2-3

hofautos · May 8, 2008 11:50AM

well i would guess a 4, but after seeing your nolan 3, i may guess there is a non-aparent crease besides the crease in the top right corner and guess a 2 or 3.

Low I'm afraid.

The top right corner is the problem. That's a crease there. There is no other creases that I can see holding the card in my hand in the case. Card was a PSA 2, here's a pic of it in the holder. It's in the older style flip, and I'm about to crack it out. I'm currently negotiating on a signed one, so if I do get the signed one, I won't be sending it off to Hank to sign, instead I'll be resubmitting to PSA on my free sub form from my new membership a couple months ago and seeing if it will bump up some, I think there is zero chance that the grade will drop from a 2, so I don't think it will hurt any to try. I might even take some pictures cracking the case later tonight so all those people that are tentative to crack cards out, can see how truly easy it is. I've been cracking a lot of the cards out that you've seen in my signed rookie thread in order to get them signed and so far haven't messed one up yet. Here's a scan of the Aaron in the case, both front and back:

CDsNuts · May 8, 2008 1:44PM

I'd do the same. I think there's room to make money cracking and resubmitting low grade big money cards due to the inconsistency of PSA. I'd be willing to bet that the Aaron ends up in a 3 slab at least once out of 4 tries.
