Default Get your very own PSA encapsulated reprint 1869 Peck & Snyder

Posted By: Jay

This card and much associated with it has taken on a circus atmosphere. The card is nice, but certainly not a great rarity nor a $100,000 card. It is, I believe, in pretty bad shape relative to most Cincinnati Peck & Snyders. The slabbing of reprints of the card by PSA was wrong--aren't grading companies supposed to authenticate cards and evaluate their condition. Why authenticate a copy of something. This is not just a PSA comment; it equally applies to SGC and any other grading companies who sell their souls for a few extra dollars. Finally, Memory Lane selling these reprints on Ebay was just crazy. It doesn't devalue the Peck and Snyder, in my opinion, it diminishes the reputation of the auction house. I just feel sorry for the poor woman who found this card for having to associate with all these people.
