How Much Are The Two White Lines Worth?

[frankbmd]

In other words how much more would this card be worth if the white lines in the green background were not there? I'm not looking for bids or offers, just opinions. Not For Sale

To make me sound less like a jerk I will need to edit my original answer because I initially didn't realize that Mr. Burkett owns the card. If this card was to somehow fall into the wrong hands within six months it will be on BlowOut after a card doctor gets ahold of it and recolors it, PSA bumps up the grade considerably, and PWCC puts it up for auction. Sorry Frank.

"how much more would this card be worth if the white lines in the green background were not there?" A lot!!

Its a great looking card. I think it grades a 4-5 without the marks, and great eye appeal.

An SGC 4 sold in LOTG on 4/4/21 for $25,830 (note that an SGC 4 was a $10k card a year ago and a $17k card in January)
An SGC 5 sold in Heritage on 7/24/21 for $27,600 - it is nicer than yours without the lines.

So lets say that an SGC 4 - SGC 5 ranges from $18k - $28k.

Recent SGC 2 sales average to about $6700 ($5,700 and $7,700, both PWCC).

So, to answer your question, based on these comps, I think you card is worth about $6,500 (slight downward adjustment for PWCC comps), but it would be worth about $22k without them. So, in my opinion, the white lines are worth $16k+/-

Can you tell I have no big plans this Saturday night?!?!

Damn Frank, when I first read the title I thought you were going to regale us with your adventures of running drugs & guns up the coast of California in the 1980's.

I certainly was not expecting the white lines to be on a baseball card!

Playing with cards on a Saturday night sounds pretty good to me. We went out for an early dinner yesterday after a loooonggg day doing a garage sale (I paid for dinner with a giant stack of one-dollar bills) then came home and I did the same. A little herb thrown in for good measure...
