Default Why?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-Donruss...-/261221127101

Why would you ever pay to have a 1988 Donruss Fernando Valenzuela graded?

And it's a PSA 5.

Someone must have taken him to task for his eBay ID. "Everythingstore, eh?" Well, now that question-asker is surely satisfied.

Frank, do you mean he was a leftist thinking fat guy or a fat guy who winged the baseball from the port side of the plate? This is a very serious subject!! It could affect the price of the card! Sam Majors

That Valenzuela card reminds me of something I read a few years back, where a board member of another baseball card forum wanted to own a card of a player in every grade.

So he was buying/collecting cards so that he would have a complete run of the same player, all the same card, slabbed from A to 10 grades.

If I remember correctly it was a common player from an inexpensive set.

No kidding! 150+ views and no bids on an item starting at $0.99.

I guess the high-rollers won't start the serious bidding until the last 5 minutes.

All kidding aside, that is a pretty cool image of Fernando bunting. Same intensity in his face as when he was hurling a fastball.

The card is severely undergraded.

Same reason any card is graded. Why grade any card?

The Honus Wagner impressed me. The PSA 5 Fernando...? Not so much.

If he's your son.

You are upgrading your PSA 4

You think the supply of 1988 Donruss is drying up.
