I'm less interested in why it got a 7 than I am about how the hell it got $10,600.00. Man, those flips make people do some crazy shit.

wow that's a real eye opener to see what sunlight over a long period of time can do! Agreed that $10k for that card seems like a trip to crazy town. Then again I might have gone a little overboard when paying half that for this one.

AJ, I would prefer to own your card at $10,000 than that 7 at $5,000.

Absolutely, that 7 is awful.

looks like a bidder graciously bumped it from 5555 to 9150 before backing away. Either way the seller lost money.

This is one of the biggest fears of openly displaying cards. UV is hell on cards. Do any of the cases used by the grading companies really protect cards from this problem?

That was actually me. I retracted my bid when I found out that the color was wrong from the heritage auction description. There was no mention of it on pwcc and they said how strong of a grade it was.

Your 3 is a stunner. Absolutely worth what you paid.

The 7 in question needs to be re-slabbed at something like a 2 for the extreme fading alone.
