The one last night was a 5 in a 7 holder. An actual 7 would sell much higher. I would never buy a 7 with 3 damaged corners.

Here they are for all to judge. The one on the left sold for $15K. The one on the right sold for over $40K (allegedly). I'd rather have the one on the left and an additional $25K in my pocket. compare.jpg |

In my opinion the one on the left is way worse, a couple bad looking corners and top to bottom centering, the one on the right to me is much better but not at $40,000 plus no way. Last edited by Johnny630; 02-26-2021 at 10:20 AM. |

This was tough to get but I tried to capture the top and bottom up close detail from the ebay listings. It's the only real way to examine the corners, edges, and surface. Here is the top and bottom detail of the card that sold for $15.6K and then the top and bottom detail of the card that sold for $42.6K.

Man, you guys are TOUGH graders
![]() I honestly view them as much closer to equal. I can obviously see the corners are better on the $40K card...but you guys seem to be giving the rough edge on the expensive card a free pass. Also, those imperfections do stand out more in the hi def auction scans because they are huge. In real life, at roughly 2 x 3 inches, I would still consider those corner touches and not missing corners. But this friendly disagreement brings to light how that first card could have realistically gotten to 40K. Let's say three of us were in the market for an SGC 7 Bowman mantle. BOTH cards would meet that criteria for me...and I would bid up to a certain amount for each. But it sounds like I would be the ONLY one of us bidding on the cheaper card...while you guys battled it out for the other one. With that lens, maybe the $40K was indeed a real sale. |

It did suck compared to the 40,000 plus one, that being said the 7 last week was still not worth $40,000 plus.
