1996 SI Tiger Woods
 

Posted By: <b>Dan Paradis</b><p>Anyone out there know anything about this card? I have a chance to buy a Pro 10 (I realize that Pro 10 may be PSA 6) for $500. How were these cards cut? Anything you can tell me will help. Thanks.

Posted By: <b>Patrick McHugh</b><p>The cards were issued in a sports illustrated for kids magazine in a 9 card sheet. Trust me when i say Never Ever buy any card in a pro grading holder. If you really want to own this card look on ebay for a sgc or psa graded card.

Posted By: <b>Dan Paradis</b><p>Thanks for the response. I am pretty good at estimating <br />what PSA will grade for baseball cards (or at least <br />cards that are factory cut). So let's pretend this <br />card is not graded. How do I verify the corners and<br />edges for a card that is not factory cut. The only <br />reason I am still pursuing this is that a PSA 9 and <br />especially 10 are priced higher than his asking price.<br /><br />Thanks.

Posted By: <b>PC</b><p>Dan: here are the possibilities with that PRO graded card ... at best, the card is overgraded. Very likely, it is altered/trimmed. Worst case scenario, it is a counterfeit.<br /><br />Still want to buy PRO? Go right ahead.

Posted By: <b>Dan</b><p>Thanks for your help. I actually forgot I posted this. In the<br />last few days I offered him top $$ if I could send the card to <br />PSA and have it graded. He refused and lowered his ask price <br />a few times. The price is now $300. I told him I wouldn't<br />even pay $100 unless I could get it regraded. Deal is done!!<br />Thanks again!!
