And the moderator dude took top prize, spending over $25,000 for lucky Buck Ewing. Ewing...must be a Dallas thing

That seller is loving life; the auctions realized about $50,000.

What was it graded?

If it was ungraded... what grade SHOULD it grade?

Thanks!

Looks like a probable SGC 20 because of the top corner crease,

BUT...

who CARES about the "technical" grade with a card as RARE as this one!!!!

It ain't like better examples come along very often!!!

Way to go, Leon!

Do you folks typically search the tobbaciana category? It looks like I should start.

Congrats on getting a great card.
I'd be surprised if it did not get a 30. Great eye appeal.

I think it "deserves" a 30...

but I just think SGC will give it a 20 because they seem to be very conservative these days when it comes to these two grading tiers.

After all... ANY CARD in HORRIBLE condition can get a 10...

so SGC seems to use the 20 category for all cards that are much BETTER than "beaters" but which have one fairly big flaw (like paper loss on front or a crease that breaks the surface).

Hopefully it will get a 30.
