Means absolutely nothing. People are lined up at the doors of PSA and wrapped around the building about ten times with wallets wide open. PSA is struggling to take that cash fast enough right now. If they can shave a second or two off each assesment they have a clear incentive.

Next up is that reprint Tip Top 😊

I did more than show interest in the thread. I would have also been part of some spirited bidding if it was in the BST auction section.

I sold all my slabbed cards but a few "special" slabbed cards in the last year. By special I mean I have 2 Beckett test slabs from before they ever graded a card for the public, Special event slabs that they come slabbed(no grade), a couple PSA test slabs, and a PSA mistake(don't everyone have one of those).LOL

Just curious, how much would people have bid on that CJ? I'd honestly have gone up to a couple hundred. Yeah, sounds stupid, but then again, I'm not "the brightest tool in the shed."

Fess up, how much would people have paid for the CJ?

The reason I wanted it is because CJs are a very popular set and that was just so frigging funny.

I've got a T201 slabbed by reputable TPG that is folded in half in the slab. You can't see the whole card. I saw it on ebay years back and I had to have it. I didn't need it. I just had to have it - it's just absurd.

Dave, thanks for sharing your very interesting story. You gotta realize that most people on this site are full of poop. Nobody was goong to get into a bidding war over that card.

I hope you keep your Dover reprint and enjoy it.

I was in the same price range as this, couple hundred. Mainly because it was the card and paperwork.

I am a huge error and variation collector and really like the 89 Fleer Bill Ripken errors. The PSA card I kept it a PSA 9 Bill Ripken White Out version. They sell in the $700-$1000 range. Problem is it is really a Black Box version in the slab. In PSA 9 you can regularly own one for less than $10.

This doesn't make sense to me. what good does cracking out a card do? If it's a horribly comical mistake, cracking it out ruins it. If it's all good, then all cracking it out does is make it more likely someone will give the clueless company money to look at it again.

I have a handful of PSA cards, maybe 5 or 6. I've given them all a good look, and aside from slight disagreement over one grade I think they got those few correct.

Heck, I haven't bothered cracking this Acu-Card example that I'm sure is trimmed on all four sides. (I'd be very happy to be proven wrong but I'm not. )

Got the return package back last night and you were close...not slabbed, but in a card saver with PSA sticker across the front with "? AUTHTCT"...

They tossed in a few "extras" in the return package. Two books, a PSA Card Display/Frame, Magazine, and a ballcap...

It'll all be up on ebay at some point soon if anyone sees something they can't live without. lol

...are there any autographs on that cap ? "Joe" ??..."Brent"" ??

Card is relisted with update.

The gift that keeps on giving. The person that bought it must have conveniently lost the ?AUTHTCT label that was included when they purchased it for 9 bucks a few weeks ago.
