The cards we grade.....

[Thromdog]

I received my Saco lots today in the mail, and this card was the one that intrigued me the most from what I bought.

I'm not a grade snob by any means, but I was astonished with this card. The black marker was all it took to give this a freaking 1.5. I've seen cards that look like they've gone through my dogs intestinal track get a 2, and then there is this.

I've bought a few 4.5's, 5's, and a 5.5 from the Saco (not here to debate overgrading) and this is right there with them and in my opinion better than most of them......well except for the black mark. It is just astonishingly gorgeous in my hand and probably one of my new favorite cards.

A fellow member whose opinion I respect was at the auction and also said it was a beautiful card, but not to cross over to PSA and get the qualifier because many fewer people would be interested in buying it.

So here's my question, out of my own curiosity.......

Would you?
