Goudey Gehrig on ebay...WTF?

[brianp-beme]

I don't follow big ticket cards, but is the fact that every single bid is a nice round, even amount normal? I know in my bottom feeder world ebay bids are quite often involving cents. I just would have guessed that at least odd dollar amounts might pop up occasionally.

And of course you have to question a bidder constantly exposing his privates (slang for private bidding status).

I am having a hard time with that scan locating the crease too, but those borders definitely look pretty tight.

If it was not trimmed I would think they would have crossed it. Even a PSA 5 should get a better return than a CSA 8.5.

Sorry but you guys are blind if you can't see that crease running from his rt shoulder all the way across the card... colors look weird to me as well.

14 day return policy so i'm sure buyer will be fine...i was just a little shocked when i saw this.

[ullmandds]

can u see this...it runs border to border.

Colors look weird to me also but he has sold a lot of nice PSA Goudey's too, but not in a while.

[brob28]

Yep, that blue background is off. Would love to be able to follow this transaction post-sale.

That sure helped.

You are totally correct that's a big crease.

People these days seem to see only flips and centering. Different era. Creases, bat ears, cards that are short, corners that look pressed/filed/etc.? Invisible with the flip.

You sure they still see flips? Think it all comes down to centering.

I think that is true with the PSA purists.

If they are doing that with a CSA, they really just are completely treading water in an ocean they have no reason to be in.
