My guess is that the "reserve" was $11K. Probably in the neighborhood of the value, but the "gouge" or "scratch-out" in the bottom of the jersey worries me although the overall eye-appeal is much nicer than the typical Fair or Good card.

The N302 is one of my favorite football issues (after '48 Leaf) and I always enjoy reading discussions about them and the opportunity to see and share images. Here are a couple of the favorites in my near set...

Hi Scott - nice cards - glad you jumped in. What's your concern with the issue on the jersey? Are you thinking other TPG won't give higher than an Auth?

Note that it appears that an "S" is scratched/carved into the surface inside the red circle. I'm guessing PSA and SGC would probably holder it in a POOR rather than FAIR.

Thanks Scott - I figured you'd say that. I could live with a 1, but to spend all that money to cross to an Auth - that would hurt me. A lot of collectors probably wouldn't care though.

+1

I think it depends on whether someone is buying the flip or the card. Lots of Auth cards look 50x better than PSA 1 or PSA 1.5 cards that are all beat up. To me, until you get to a VG level on this card, I focus on eye appeal.
