Fair enough of you're happy with what you end up with that is all that matters. For the cards I collect if I paid the PSA price and sent it to SGC for a 1/2 point deduction, or even the same grade, I would take a big hit.

I wouldn't have guessed that much for the 59. But if there's only 1 in the world it's pretty hard to set a price. Personally I'd rather have his rookie in an 8 and save the 23k difference for something else

Yeah, for sure the rookie is the way to go! The managers dream was a bit surprising to me as well. I was just making a assumption here. Maybe the 59 Mays was getting bids from set collector. If there is only one at gem mint ten then that's a one up on the next guy.

The spread from the pack is the largest I have ever seen on EBAY. A 60k jump with the final two snipes. WOW that is insane. I bet the other bidders watching at the end were like WTF just happened. Haha.
