Come on, Peter. That little speck makes the PSA 7 "far nicer" than the SGC 7? If not, then what makes it far nicer? How do you know it's not a speck on the scanner? To me, it looks a different color than the rest of the border, so it could be a speck on the scanner in just the right spot to make it appear as if it's something on the border. Besides, look at the back - the speck is not there.

Look again, it is. You're wrong. It's a defect of some sort.

Fair enough. But does that really make the PSA 7 far nicer than the SGC 7? If you really think so, you must be overlooking the top/bottom centering, the divot on the bottom border and the soft bottom left corner of the PSA card.

David, whether one prefers the SGC or PSA 7 really has nothing to do with the point of this thread.

So what is the point of your thread? We all know what is not the point of the thread because you have shot done almost every reply. Don't keep us in suspense any longer...

It's not a matter of preference. You said the PSA card was far better than the SGC card. I'm asking what makes it far better other than that tiny speck?

Edited to add: I agree with the previous poster. What is the point of this thread?

I'm guessing the point of the thread is someone is dumbfounded that this particular card would bring that much at auction and wanted to vent?

If cards always always go for the same range then there will never be a large increase or decrease in value.

Its fun to look at some price history over the years on big cards....its not uncommon to see 500% differences in prices over the years...sooner or later there is probably one unusual buy price in the history

of course as said there are other reasons of why prices change or are manip.......

Looks like the PSA card has a better front print surface then the SGC card...less print dots and some yellow showing through the red on the SGC near the bottom...

Too bad couldn't merge the corners and centering of the SGC and surface of the PSA...

On the bidding side looks like 3 or 4 folks bid hearty and then ran out of money...lol

If that's true then your thread is missing the point. That sgc 7 is dead centered and blows away the psa example. There are a few collectors that step up for cards with very rare centering and eye appeal. When two of these collectors go after such a card it often leads to a record price that seems out of line with current valuations.
