Wonder what it would be worth vs. an SGC 50????

so all this proves is that "collectors" who pay more money for a flip and a lesser card are what? STUPID?

On a somewhat serious note, Kevin...I don't dispute the fact that in a lot of cases PSA cards of similar grade sell for more than SGC...the registry was a smart marketing ploy for PSA...no doubt.

But...I do not agree with your claim that SGC grades more loosely than PSA...this is not true.

I tell you what Pete, you have a 51 bowman Mantle rookie in pristine condition, but you need to get the money out of it fairly quickly and profit the most possible, would you rather have it in an SGC 88 holder, or PSA 8 holder?

If I had a pristine mantle rookie...I couldn't give a rats ass who's $.50 plastic case houses it!

I don't worry about hammers with my collection, just when patching up the barn. I'm just a Jarhead Hillbilly and like the old sport and history of baseball and the cards are a nice way to tie them together. When it becomes stressful or a point of contention, I just laugh and back off of the hobby for awhile. TPG's are a pain in my ass as a collector and as a realist and simple objective thinker - I don't see any of them being worth a premium so I pass when it's applied. T206 are overly abundant and patience will pay off.
