Yes, I see the disparity

Yup that's an old psa holder. You'd never get a 3 again from psa for that card. Just another value curve ball for the cj collector to consider (old vs new psa grades). Buying the card not the grade is extra important for these cards in any holder.

I think the Matty is a beautiful card. There are so relatively few of them, buying the card here, i think it will go very strong. My first take on all of the grades is that they are undergraded relative to their aesthetics, even if the technical grades are accurate or even high.

How did everyone do with these?

Didn't win a single one. Although I didn't stay up at all after it went into extended bidding. Kinda weird closing on a Thursday night for me. Lost out on three of them.

I snuck in one bid on the Gowdy and won. Couldn't resist. Thought it was too nicely centered with deep red background. Going to display it with my Gowdy game used bat.
