As much as I could care less grading cards, with a high value card you really have no choice. I've seen so many doctored cards.
No way would I pay that kind of price for an ungraded card. |

This card was in a BVG 7 holder that sold for $1979.89 on eBay (10.20.2011).

There are so many red flags with this auction that anyone paying 6k will eventually learn a tough lesson here...if it is even a legit bid?

Here is a link to the BVG 7 that already ended. After looking at them it is difficult for me to tell they are the same card. I have tried comparing the two but the raw one seems to have more pointed corners. It might be the same one and am just curious what gave it away for you?

On the raw card, there is a print dot on the bottom right of the back, in the red box right above the word "ans". This print does does not appear on the BVG card. Likewise, on the BVG card, there is a print mark next to the "No 66" baseball. This print dot does not appear on the raw card.

My experience (sometimes painful) has taught me to always, ALWAYS check the edges under magnification before buying cards from that era that haven't been graded by a reputable grading service. Razor sharp, rather than rough edges are a dead giveaway that a card has been put through a paper press to enlarge it ever so slightly, then cut back down to correct size. Prior to PSA and SGC taking their holds on the hobby, we used to have a dealer in this area who specialized in such cards, taking off-grade examples and "upgrading" them to apparent NMt-Mt or better. Personally, I don't think I'd ever spend 6 grand on an ungraded card. Even if you could check the edges, who carries a black light around with them to check for other touch-ups?
For the buyer's sake, I hope it works out well, but I wouldn't like the odds myself. Regards, Larry |
