T206 Mathewson Dark Cap
 

Posted By: <b>joseph</b><p>I have a friend that has a PSA 7 Mathewson that he wants to trade. I don't mind trading material just so we both get a fair deal. My problem is I know an elderly man in PA. that has a raw Mathewson that would grade better than my friends. I can see the card being a SGC 7.5 or 8 or maybe a PSA 8. Since the card would grade no worst than a PSA 7 and should grade higher than that. Which deal should I try to close. If you say the elder gentlemans, then what is the card worth?

Posted By: <b>joseph</b><p>The elder gentleman doesn't want to take the time to send it in and I understand his point of view. I know that this card will grade at least PSA 7 or SGC 7.5 or 8. I am going to take the his card . What would the cash value be? My other friend was willing to trade for it using his PSA 7 for some of my cards. I would much rather trade but he doesn't want to have cards anymore. So what should I offer?
