Speaking of 52 Mantles...

[begsu1013]

I understand completely. however, I think we'd both agree that "said psa 6 vs said sgc 6" would command more money...

most of your cards are psa, correct? I know mine are. I do have a few sgc holders but I think the set registry that psa runs does add value...and a better brand, although they are plagued w/ questionable practices in the past.

whether or not they affix the proper grade is a completely different story....

which is why we search for the diamonds in the proverbial rough!

I went heavy on that 59 4.5 mantle that pwcc just auctioned off and lost.
same scenario w/ the yaz on that other thread.

that 72 aaron posted in Aprils pick up now resides 5 grades higher. 5 grades!

I like that they make mistakes, personally! ...but those mistakes go both ways, ie your 4.5.

and i think alotta folks have passed on ugly 7's, 8's and even 10's and such, but there is that certain sector out that that "need that 8" to climb the ranks and don't even really consider an sgc card to begin with...

all i was trying to convey.

much love.

Totally agree. The Registry competition drives higher prices of PSA cards, for equivalent cards in PSA vs SGC, no question. It's a truly genius piece of marketing that fosters a need for that sticker; when I first got back into the hobby I first found the Registry and was heavily into it at the time.

you know what i like about this board...a simple disagreement or, better yet, a simple sentence/statement that could very easily get blown outta proportion is easily defused...and everything is right with the world.

cheers!

+1, or +52 actually.

Wow....nice centering. I can't speculate on authenticity here, but assuming all is on the up and up, someone got a bargain, despite the image being a bit rough.

Holy Cow. Sold for 3k for a PSA3????
If indeed real, thats a steal!! You'd think the seller backs out of this deal.
The seller also has 'private feedback' and a recent negative despite having good feedback numbers.
I took a quick glance, and so far passed the smell test. What do you others think of this as well?? or what will happen??
I dont remember the type PSA flips, and if the label is off/wrong
I know the ITEM SPECIFICS mentions it as a 51 Bowman PSA 8.

No way that $3K Mantle sale is legit. Most likely a compromised or stolen account and nothing but scams. The seller also sold this Jordan PSA 10 for cheap.
