Wonder what you think re: this classic Matty
I recently won this at REA, as a big Matty fan and fan of the Noveltys. Thought I got a good price, as it was under what had been paid earlier for a 1.5 and an Auth. Only 3 graded at PSA--and only one higher, so it's a tough card for sure. It's a sharp card, overall VG-EX or VG ++++, only the faintest small crease, back is great and of course image is great. BUT I wonder if price was depressed by people thinking it is over-graded due to that missing right corner...should have been docked even more....or, perhaps grade is correct, but some people just won't go for something with that bad a corner, even for a beauty of a card. Your thoughts?

Where is Matty? All I see is a missing corner. Honestly that is a disgrace to me in a 2 holder, should have been a 1. Just my opinion.

Two things, IMO - you got a good deal and the card is overgraded.
My guess is the corner is indeed the reason the bidding may have been less spirited. Still a beautiful card that is missing a corner.

Another vote for the postcard being overgraded. I would suggest not relying on the PSA pop report too heavily for this particular issue. I'm not sure most collectors feel a burning desire to get their Novelty Cutlery postcards in a PSA slab or any TPG slab for that matter.
If you're happy with the postcard at the price you paid, then that's all that really matters.

 . On some other cards I barely see it but on that one I just saw it and couldn't take my eyes off it. Hey, I have nice cards with chunks missing too. All that matters is you like the card. The other parts of it are very nice. I recently passed up a higher grade T205 Cobby due to a spec of tobacco on his head. We all have things we do and don't like. Each card is different to me.

The larger cabinet-type cards frequently have problems only with the borders and not the image.
Personally I tend to focus on the image and not the pinholes, border stains and missing corners. I agree with those who suggest that the grade is irrelevant, whether it is technically accurate or not. The character of such a card can be enhanced by its defects. I like to look at my $18 T3 and wonder who stole home plate and why.

Greg. Great card and awesome pickup btw! As a Matty collector, I was back and forth over upping my bid on that one. The corner kept me from going higher. For $1500 you got a great deal on an amazing piece!

interesting thread. not sure how one can say the missing corner doesn’t matter, then say what a great deal the buyer got. if the price on a card like this is a “deal,” then in large part it is because of the missing corner. not that there’s anything wrong with that. i have more off condition cards in my collection than I care to count, so i am no cardboard snob. I just realize them for what they are.

I'm still divided, as elsewhere I am a bit of nut on centering and lack of obvious flaws, so this was not a typical purchase (and only because Matty fan). Right or not, I'd probably sell the card for what I paid.
