Black Swamp Find?

[4815162342]

There's no reason to blanketly call collectors idiots for using a grading service. Andrew, I've had fun with the TPG acronym (or is it acrostic?) game myself - mine was Please Stop Authenticating Somebody Got Cheated By Valuing Grading, but I collect baseball cards in PSA and SGC holders, and wouldn't consider myself an idiot for collecting either.

This card is gorgeous no matter what the flip says. I'm sure that the hammer price will reflect that.

Does anyone know the answer to my original question?

Daryl I was referring to the idiots that put the value in the plastic container and not the card itself. I also buy slabbed cards but steer away from PSA as much as possible due to their reputation. Buy the card and not the holder.

Just a quick question....is there much difference between "The Swamp Find" and this one?? Both look superb but with much different grades.

If NO ONE knows about the "Black Swamp Find", was there REALLY a FIND at all?

Pete I think they are 2 different cards. It's just that one TPG got it right and the other didnt.

there is no way in hell this card should be any less than 8. The PSA card is a hell of a lot nicer then the SGC. Hey Andrew I think you just have the wrong guy submit your cards, to your favorite graders,for you or you'd think about them the same you do PSA. That SGC card is not close to as nice as the PSA your bias is clearly showing. BTW not defending PSA I think they all have major problems with their staffs abilities and qualifications. That being said I would trust and/or agree with Scott at SGC's opinion on a card submitted by a regular guy off the street probably 95 out of 100 times.

those high res scans are incredible...it's so cool to see the waviness and inconsistencies in the printing borders which disappear when viewing with the naked eye!!!!

Glyn no one here believes that the PSA card should be a 10. At most the average consensus I would say is an 8 at best. The SGC card is accurately graded is it not? A 5.5 is worthy of that SGC example. The difference is SGC gets it right 95/100 times where PSA is constantly being bashed for their own mistakes over and over and never try to fix the issues. Yes I prefer SGC over anyone because I can trust their opinion where as PSA is worthless IMO. So I am not being bias by any means I am just stating the facts.
