Default Can someone explain the price on this T206 Johnson portrait?

Posted By: Joe Drouillard

Hello everyone,

I was pleasantly surprised to see the hammer price on this ebay auction, since I recently purchased the same issue with the same grade for about 1/3 of the price about a month ago (also on ebay), but I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Does anyone think the card that was sold last night is undergraded? The corners are solid square, but the card has a purple stain on the player's chest. Can the buyer somehow remove the stain and receive a higher grade? I'm trying to buy the card and not the holder, but I don't see how the card could grade higher. There were several bidders, so obviously the card was desireable. I would like to become a better buyer, so if someone could educate me if I'm missing something please let me know.

Thanks,
