Looking for help on a card value for trading in B/S/T

[SyrNy1960]

Thinking about posting this in B/S/T. Looking mostly to trade for an Alex Rodriguez card. Any idea on what trade value I should put on this card? I always want to be fair and I know most prefer trading than giving up the $$$. Thanks! Tony

IMHO list for somewhere between $200 and $300, but depends on how this would grade, etc. A PSA 1 sold on eBay in early December '22 for $199 (so there's a buyer/market there), and a SGC 5 sold via HA in Oct '22.for $348. The only PSA 1 for sale on eBay right now is $340 OBO. Yours might go for $150 to factor in if the new owner wants to send it in for grading and incur those costs. It might go for $250-$300 if the new buyer believes it will receive better than a 1 for a grade. Have fun with it and develop a relationship/friendship in the process-that's the most valuable part of BST and our community. Good luck!

When print from the back bleeds through to the front, is that considered a printing error? Does it hurt the card? Thanks!

Unfortunately in this case it’s not an error, it’s a slight devaluation of the card in moats opinion. Others like oddball stuff however that has these issues and like to collect that way.

It could be bleedthrough or Wet Sheet Transfer from being stacked on another sheet. It does hurt the eye appeal on the front. I like seeing bleedthrough backs on old Goudey or Sportkings cards, because it makes it much more likely to be authentic rather than counterfeit.

Looks like an awesome card to me.
