Goldin auction 33 Lajoie psa 9! What does it go for?

[BeanTown]

Its faded and no way deserving of a 9. Wonder who the submitter was? My guess is that card has spent some time in the water

Dumb question maybe, but how does that get in a new holder if it's an old 9 where the centering criteria is not met for how they grade today? Just because it's a Lajoie and it would obviously lower the value? I know people who send in older questionable grades for a reholder, Mantles for example - and PSA says sorry, we don't think this is a 7 anymore, it's coming back in a 6 slab and we'll make up the difference. Am I just being naive?

Because they don't reevalute the grade on a Reholder, unless the holder is cracked or there's some other major issue (like they spot a pinhole). If the buyer wanted to have it Reviewed instead, PSA could declare it a 7 or 8 and be liable for the difference in value. Then again, they could confirm the grade (which they've been doing lately with PSA trimmed cards in PWCC auctions) and not be liable for anything.
But I can be sure whoever is buying this card is doing it for the 9 grade, undeserved that it is, and not the card itself.

I guess that's what I missed. In the example I was thinking of, someone sent in a Mantle in- but it must have been for a review in addition to a reholder. I agree they should stand by an original grade, but the whole thing just feels shady.

You really think PSA would voluntarily hand out 5 figures to pay the difference?
You gotta think how much is at stake here.

How many people crapping on this card will be bidding on it and are trying to push the price down? Asking for a friend.

15 posts, one couldnt wager a guess, or an opening bid. That's just my guess

I couldn't come close to affording it even if it went for a steal, and the "crapping" on that in a 9 slab IMO is very much deserved.
