I checked out your links and some I would say are Ex and others less than Ex.
But, more importantly, I really enjoy going to major shows. I only set-up at the Philly Shows
and do a lot of browsing around at each show. And, do some serious "person-to-person"
buying.
If I am going to spend big $$$$ on a "naked" card at a show, the dealer is not going to "jam"
his grade at me. I will deal only with dealers who I know I can have a "give and take" with.
I've operated this way for 30 years, now. I certainly won't risk buying an un-graded card via
mail that is very expensive. Some collectors go to a lot of shows to acquire cards for their
collection. And, there are some that only go to the National and acquire most of their cards
from ebay, or personal transactions via mail. Everyone, has their personal preferences in the
way they obtain cards for their collections.
Paul....I might just submit this card to SGC (for academic reasons, since as you know I don't
have graded cards in my collection). And, it will be interesting to see what grade SGC gives it ?
