My concerns are
#1 the certification - the company is not in business, and it was a company that focused more on hockey.
#2 the Goudey series prices have stayed flat for a long period of time and am unsure about the upside
#3 I have never seen the change in prices over time and am unsure if the card values are acutually realized based on book.
#4 I have seen significant differences in the value of a graded 4 Nap Lajoie between websites (i.e.- 14k, 19k) --> am unsure what the actual value is
Your help and opinion would be appreciated

Before you even talk dollars with this guy, you need to sort out the grading situation. If I were you, I wouldnt shell out one dollar for it until psa or sgc looks at it. Tell the dealer to send it to one of them. He should understand completely. If he pushes back, that is where you exit stage left.
