Say I have a Turkey Red Cabinet card of a hall of famer worth 5000.00 but on the top border are 2 pin holes/nail holes...I would probably price it at 500.00 or so...Am I way off?

Thanks,

Paul

Hello,
The Speaker is very desirable and with the tack holes will still come back from PSA a 1 or at worst an authentic. The one I purchased was trimmed(about 1/2 inch on the top) and was a card I needed for my set and I still paid 500.00 for it so your card is definately worth more than that.

It would be worth less than that to someone who collects only graded cards. And more than that to someone chasing T3 who collects ungraded cards. So if you're selling, it is all a matter of finding the right buyer.

In general, pinholes really devalue a card. However, cabinet cards (and other oversize cards) are really the exception to the rule. Quite a number of collectors pinned the cabinet cards on their walls, so I would think that your T3 Speaker would still be considered in good condition. It would bring more than $500 and if you got it graded you could get substantially more than $500.

Good luck.
