PSA Grading at its best

The difference is resale values is because of FOOLS that bid on flips rather than cards. Don't kid yourself otherwise.

If you didn't see the card, you missed what I consider the most over graded card that I have ever seen. It was way OC and all 4 corners were soft - not touched, soft - and had a crease. It looked like a 4 OC, yet there were several bidders. Why would people bid on such an ugly card? It's simple and has nothing do with resale value. They were bidding on the flip, not the card.

You can sit there all you want and talk about resale value. Those FOOLS are not bidding on cards, they are bidding on flips.

EDIT: For clarification, I'm not calling people that bid on PSA cards FOOLS. I'm saying that when all things are equal (two nearly identical cards, same grade, different holders), the only reason that the PSA cards outsell SGC cards is because some FOOL is paying for a flip.

I am guessing the Mantle was a clerical error. It happens.

David- just for kicks, would you rather have an SGC 84 Cobb, or a PSA 7 Cobb when you are trying to raise big money?

Kevin, it wouldn't matter. I would hope to get out of the card close to what I paid for it. Sure, the PSA 7 Cobb would sell for more money. The part you're clearly overlooking is that it COST ME MORE MONEY when I initially purchased it. Likewise, if it were an SGC 84 Cobb, it would bring less money. Then again, it COST ME LESS MONEY when I initially purchased it. You're only looking at resale value. You're not considering the cost.

Here's my surprise from PSA today. A 1907 Opening Day ticket stub from South End Grounds. A before and after scan of what I sent to PSA and what they returned. I'm not happy.
