Those of you that know me, know that I mainly collect autographs, but I occasionally pick up an unsigned card that interests me for some reason. A couple years back, I picked up a 1972 Topps Pete Rose card that was in an SGC A slab and labeled as a 1972 Topps Pete Rose Proof card. I just bought it because I thought it was neat. Yesterday, I was going to Beckett in Dallas to get some graphs slabbed, and decided to take along my Rose to see if I could get it slabbed with a number. Beckett slabbed it with a 9 and they call it a 1972 Topps Pete Rose blank back card instead of a "proof" card.
Like I indicated above, I don't really dabble too much in unsigned cards, so I'm not too familiar with the difference between blank backs, proofs, etc.
It's a cool looking card, and came back with a strong grade. Do the masses think this is closer to being a $5 card, a $50 card, or a $500 card or some other number? I saw where some regular 1972 Topps Pete Rose cards that PSA had slabbed as a 9 were sold I thought for between $400-$500. I realize that not all grading companies are as popular as others, especially for those that pay high dollar for PSA Registry purposes, but just wondering what price range my card might be in?
Are blank backs generally more or less valuable than their standard counterpart?
