For example look at this PSA 6. Notice similar red ink snail trail at top and check out those bottom two corners. Make it make sense how there's a 4.5 grade difference between these two cards?

Yeah that's the image settings because in hand (I'm holding it right now) it is not that bright. Borders have beautiful natural toning.

By the way, here's a link to my thread with some of the cards I am selling to help pay for the card: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=361685

Given that Goldin sold an Authentic last night with a large chunk missing out of the bottom for 60K, I'd say this purchase looks quite good in comparison.

The same card sold in December in REA for $31,200.

Jeremy, you did very well with your purchase. Your timing pre-HOF news couldn’t have been better. Good luck with your sales.

I was referring to the PSA 6 example above.

But I am really curious - what was going through your mind when you decided to spend an enormous sum of money on a 1.5? Is this something that you're gonna' crack out and have re-graded? Are you gonna' leave it like that because you think 150k Usd for a 1.5 is a great investment? In other words, do you think that low-grade examples will someday be selling for a quarter or even half a million dollars US ? Or you don't care about the money and investing part and just bought it because it looks nice ?

Looks more like FOMO to me, but what do I know ??
