I am not sure what to think of this Ruth...

The seller is usually a very good seller, and anyone can ask what they want to, but I would almost feel bad if someone bought that card for 65k only to find out it's worth approx. 1/20th of that (and I think I am being generous).

I love the auctions with insane BIN prices then they charge shipping as well

WOW!

I have also seen quite a few of his auctions and they always seem pretty legitimate.

An SGC auth fetched roughly $4k.

I figure that one is either trimmed or altered in some way.

In comparison, how much does a copy of a card graded numerically "3" fetch over an authentic (possibly altered) copy?

I would like to educate myself a bit, what sort of ratio between other similar cards are you looking at for your price determination? Is there another card that has an authentic copy and then a numerically graded copy - how much of a premium did the numeric copy get?

Anyway I don't think he is making any false statements "only one by PSA", just a bit misleading.

He states its a 1/1 which is misleading. Any chance this was the SGC A card?

This is indeed the same card that was sold in a Sterling Auction for roughly $4K as SGC Authentic here: Link. When I asked Brian about this card, he guessed that it was Authentic due to a very slight trim on the bottom edge. If you compare the photos from the Sterling auction to probstein's auction, you can see that it is the same card. Therefore, the card is a 1/1 because it is the "only" card in both the SGC and PSA pop reports.

Sometimes the crack-out game works out well.
