The PMG are the cards that everyone wants and the green ones are exponentially more. There are 10 of these - less than most other rare cards out there. So the sky’s the limit in terms of what the next one sells for. But if history is any judge - it will be more than this one. And the one after that will be more.

But I can't get past the fact that it's altered. So what does a 8, 9 or 10 go for? Exponentially more???

"Despite the PSA Auth assessment this example is easily among the finest PMG Green MJ's in the world "

Do the writers ever read their own stuff and wonder what the ___ they were thinking? They should.

This to me is just illustrative of how contradictory and nuts dealers can be with how they try to put spins on grading. For most, it's "we're not professional graders, so we stand behind the opinion of a trusted 3rd party authenticator like PSA..." But for this one it's more like "Who are you going to trust PSA? Listen to us. This is one of the finest cards you will ever see despite the fact that it is AA."

What. Ever.

I haven't read every post so I may have missed something, but why did it get the Altered? Is it recolored somewhere?

Sounds like PSA suspects it's trimmed on the right edge. Of course everyone is saying Authentic doesn't matter. If that was true why trim it?

My guess is that someone did this long ago. These cards were very susceptible to chipping and the person who originally had it probably did that to clean it up for sale - back when it was much less and grading wasn’t as important. Fast forward several years and it is now “authentic”. However if the card has strong eye appeal and is rare enough it really doesn’t matter. Kind of like the Gretzky Honus. It may be trimmed but it’s still the best one out there and it will keep selling for more every time it comes up. Occasionally you will see trimmed Jeter rookies where someone tried to clean up a chipped edge.

Doesn't even matter. They never come up for sale.

Only 10 were made. I'd be surprised if the grade matters as much as it does on most cards.
