Default Keep me in mind if you sell the 1.5

Thanks and appreciated. I’m sure others have said the same but if not put me on the list both are great cards!!!

Default My vote is PB back

This being said a more rare back, it’s in a better slab both in terms of grade and the black background and as well all know pbs in the pack coming out looking that phenomenal is great. Should be proud to own both.

Default Sweet Sweet Cap

I'd go with the Sweet Cap, truer red background (as mentioned previously), and better bang for the buck. Leon, I believe you be the Master at spotting low grade gems.

I find this so interesting. I mean there is literally nothing more appealing about the PB aside from the back and the technical grade. PB backs aren't even particularly rare either. Great sociological study here, particularly for a board whose generic mantra is to buy the card not the grade

For me it`s the PSA 1.5 Sweet Cap. Just has an overall sharper appearance than the P Bear. As said would enjoy owning either but if it`s one, the S Cap.

I love that Sweet Caporal 1.5, it stands out strong, the deep red is incredible, the card appearance looks much better than the given grade, isn’t that what we all look for...

I don't like creases. The creases on the face of the Sweet Cap would drive me crazy. The PB is far more appealing to me if I had to pick one.

I'm a big border guy too. So I'd prefer the PB. The SC is nothing to snicker at. Maybe keep both for now. As you know, you'll have no trouble selling either one if/when.

I voted Polar Bear. Polar Bears may seem common to some but once you get into the 4 and up grades, they become more difficult. If the Sweet Caporal was a lower population Factory 25, then it would be a much more difficult choice for me.
