And yes, if you buy the card you will always do well. It can bump or command a premium over its grade. So one can sell the card, though I do agree 100% the holder is sold all the time as well, even when the card inside doesn't match up with the holder. If you want to just buy stickers, go for yours. Long as a collector is happy with their card.

In my example you got the card for free....so you could have that in your collecton...and i am saying sell the holder not the card., i am not buying stickers...like you said...100% of the time the sticker is sold not the card....

sell the holder not the card....

You could always get that PSA 10 regarded to a PSA 7..now its a pretty card for the grade no longer an ugly card.....

Funny you say that because I've actually done that myself. Last year I had a gorgeous PSA 8 Michael Jordan RC. Then under light I saw a very, very mild crease. Probably more like a warp it would be called. It was so slight it got by the graders. I could have kept it in the 8 holder and sold it for more than I paid. Instead I had them regrade it down to a 4, and it may now be the nicest looking MJ RC south of an 8 around, LOL!
