With the crazy market, what will this iconic card bring?

Gem mint can have centering issues?

Normally I'd agree with cmize on this one, Mantle usually outsells Mays by quite a bit in any set. But there's only 1 10, and 2 9s on the pop report. If two guys with money want the card I would not be surprised to see this one hit 1m. There won't be a second chance to get one.

I guess 500k seems like a good number.

The centering would bother me if I was a player for that caliber card

[ullmandds]

ya...certainly a gorgeous card...but not deserving of a "10."

Thought the same?

I assume, (but who knows with PSA??) if the rest of the card is mint then maybe they'll let slide a little off centering issue??

Either that or the owner re-submitted numerous times until he received his 10?

In my opinion not a 10 but a 9. That said its got the 10 designation so it will carry that price. Still I dont see half a stick. I'm gonna guess 350k. It's hard for me to say 500 or a million because if I go that high and project out other high demand and star cards for the set it easily says hey an all 9-10 set of 1953 topps projects out to near 10 million. That to me is beyond nuts and can't possibly be worth that to anyone especially given the quantity printed. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ten does not mean perfect. I have no problem from the pics I see of that card being a 10

You're right.

I was under the impression a "Gem Mint 10" would be absolutely perfect in every which way but I see they allow for slight off centering.

Im seeing it a little lower than 500k as well. I'll say $400k. Seeing anything Mays go over 500k would be unusual.

Does anyone else see very minor chipping on the bottom border ?

[MR RAREBACK]

835,335 is my guess

[prestigecollectibles]

This can still be a 10?
