14 Cady

I'd be irked too Barry. I was actually pretty excited when mine came back as a 1.5. I would try to resubmit. Even with the wrinkles, I can see them in the scan, I think you got hosed.

I have thought about regrading it, but I am very skittish about parting with it (even temporarily). I was considering bringing it to the National and discussing the card with PSA, but in the past (from what others have told me), PSA has not been apt to admit that they may have under graded a card. At the end of the day, I feel pretty lucky to own a Pratt and, regardless of the numerical grade, I am pretty happy with it. Plus, I bought it raw about 6-7 years ago for $500. The best $500 I ever spent in the hobby (the $135 on the Cady that is the topic of this thread is a close second).

Well, $500 was a great deal! I guess that would soften the blow a bit. I am guessing that even with the grade it would go for over $3k now, eye appeal has a lot to do with the price it would fetch. Sounds like you will be holding on to it though, good choice there. Have to apologize to Mr. Cady for helping Pratt hijack his thread!

In person the card actually looks much nicer than the scan would suggest.
