FS 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson

makes no sense to put in shill bids at least at the point when already 500 over the highest price ever for a psa 5 .....that only your opinion that card was ugly...many bidders not agree....

[calvindog]

I can't decide what's worse -- your grammar or logic. Do you have to pay $100 for each word you type and that prevents you from adding all the necessary words to form a sentence? And do white print marks help a card's value or hurt it? Here's your answer: in every auction but Probstein and PWCC the marks hurt the card's value.

I think he may be paid not to use apostrophes?

[calvindog]

i not believe that ... think PWCC just solds better....me hungry.

Even with the spots it was THAT much better than any other one.

[frankbmd]

I'd like to correct the grammar for you Jeff, but I am still working on the first sentence.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Frank you may need some of these.

This is an upward trend in a year..looks like the card almost doubled in price. in a year...why cant it go up 30% more in 6 months......the other psa 5s not centered as well...i thought you buy the card not the grade?

also why even argue..proof is in the pudding.. ..it wasnt a buy it now..there were several bidders above $2000......even if the card not worth 2600..can be in the 2300 range in the next auction...no reason to be surprised if that happened...

Sorry, I don't usually criticize grammar except when it's so painfully idiotic so as not to be believed. I honestly think that English is your second language. If not, perhaps you can explain to us why some sentences end with two periods, some end with none -- but no sentence ends with a single period.

And the "upward trend in a year" you mention is solely the work of two auction houses in which fraud is rampant: Probstein and PWCC -- based on their prior auction results which are suspect anyway. Regardless if the card is "centered amazing enough" (whatever that means -- I'll consult my ape/English translation program, however you previously described the centering as "decent[]."), it has an obvious print defect on the front. To suggest that this card is the wonderful specimen of all specimens to cause such a jump in price is laughable, even Mastro-like in its dishonesty.

Here is what the card looked like a few months ago when it sold, presumably to Jacob, for 1755. What a difference a scan makes.

wow some may think you are personally attacking a poster on an issue of baseball cards...man real important to "look" real witty in a baseball card forum.

anyway..i think its just your opinion that the card isnt a great specimen for a psa 5.and not the final authority on the matter...we are talking general eye appeal.....but 3 others disagree that bid all time highs...i really dont see fraud happening when there is bidding with several bidders over an all time high...maybe to get the all time high, but once at the all time high you really got to be a conspiracy theory guy to think that they would play around with losing a deal when already above that limit

also you disagree with past sales because of the auction houses...well when the auction houses including ebay make up of the major part of the market share..i tend to cite those sales instead of some sales that make up very little of the market share..silly me...
