This card looks pretty beat up, but still sold over $2400!

The SGC authentic looks much nicer, but only sold for $1775

A different of almost $700 simply because the card is in different holder. Go figure.

I guess the white borders were worth an extra $700. Neither look to good to me. MJ, the SGC card has the borders cut off.

[ichieh]

yes, i notice, but both cards are graded authentic. From general appearance, the SGC looks much more attractive than PSA. So the question is, are these white border worth $700? Personally i would rather own the SGC than the PSA with multiple creases and stains

[fkw]

The card is not just trimmed its missing the borders completely.

Id rather have the full size beater, over the chopped one.

The PSA should be a 1 not authentic and isn't that bad, the SGC should be graded G for garbage.

i just went and check on PSA website. It's odd because PSA don't give out "authentic" grades? May i wrong?

lol...nice!

Also, If you notice the PSA one, the seller has 4 pics. The last one was taking with a black background to make it stand out a little more..ha

I would have just stuck with the black background. Maybe it would have gone for more? Not sure, but it does bring it oout more I think. Good selling tactics.lol But yea, I wasn't aware of PSA just "authenticating" cards and having no grade? Weird. Either way, it's a great card! Wish I had it
