What do you think on this Clemente RC on eBay - Strange

[Hxcmilkshake]

It is weird he wont get it slabbed. He has a Jordan base card graded....Maybe it came back altered before. I don't see it higher than a 4 if legit. And it does look real.

A seller listing a big card, raw, in the context of having other recently-graded cards in newer slabs says one thing to me -- it was indeed Submitted, and came back Altered or MinSizeReq. Nothing in his description contradicts that.

It's a PSA 3 on its best day. If the lack of value there doesn't scare any rational person away, the crazed ranting in the description should

If eBay really went after all the questionable listings they've got on there, there'd be almost nothing left. I'm glad they're incrementally improving, but come on.

Cards looks real to me. Is it altered? No idea.

I had previously reviewed that listing, and found it strange as well. And while the 1955 Clemente is valuable, it's not exactly rare. There are plenty of similarly conditioned Clementes out there. I think we all can attest to the theory that if something doesn't seem quite right, it's probably not. So if you are in the market for a 1955 Clemente, I would pass on this one.

Plus, the price isn't exactly an amazing bargain. I think we all agree it would grade either a 3 or 4 (assuming it wouldn't come back "Authentic"). And it's overpriced for a 3. And while it might be about $300 to $400 cheaper than a graded 4, I think spending the extra money for the piece of mind of a graded 1955 Clemente would be well worth it.
