People with centering "issues" would probably puke at seeing that graded a "9".... gotta figure, if you're going to drop almost $600K on a piece of cardboard that isn't "rare", you'd have to at least have it 55/45 or better on the front.

yeah, like I'd have that much to drop on a card.... I don't even have that much to spend on a card "in my dreams"....

If I were to spend 576K on a goudey gehrig card it better be 50/50/50/50!!!!!!

I don't see any upside on that "investment!"

I agree with you wholeheartedly. The problem isn’t how MUCH he spent, so much as the CARD it was spent on. It isn’t particularly well centered, and is one of the more common pre-war cards; eBay is littered with them. Having have said that, there are only 2 psa 9’s. Let’s be honest, if that card were in an 8 holder, no one would be offended and ask “how the hell is that only an 8?!?!” I don’t think it’s a stretch to say the guy bought the holder. But as is often the case with these types of threads, the bottom line is that the guy is obviously very wealthy and is entitled to spend his money as he pleases. Maybe he’s a registry guy or maybe it’s his favorite card. Not for us to decide how he spends his money. However, I do think that as an educated group of collectors, we can comment on the card and our perceived value. Finally, I found this card on eBay. The difference in grade comes down to the opinion of two graders. The difference in price comes down to over half a million dollars.

Imagine if the only PSA 10 Gem Mint (card #92) were to go to auction, $1 Million maybe?

It�s not the same card although the concept is generally the same. There are 2 Gehrig�s in the set that look almost identical other than the color of the blue and whiteness of the borders.
