This "should" be a $10-15K card topps (imho) in today's market.

EXACTLY! Here is a newer graded 9 - that to my eye looks a heck of a lot better than the 10 - that was bought this month for $90K less!!


PSA 9 $1425

Not so - It is the "only graded 10", but as pointed out above - likely wouldn't be that if sent in today and as discussed ad nauseum on the boards - 3rd party grading is if nothing else inconsistent.

The irony of it is there are 274 PSA graded 1971 supers - the only 10 that sold, but 33 - 9's! Some really difficult Clemente stuff in the same auction sold way low (gratefully as I was able to grab a couple):

1967 Punchout PSA 4 - 3rd highest (nq) of 7 total graded - Under $4K
1962 Stamp Panel w/ Battey - 2nd highest of 24 total graded - ~$700

Wow! Just wow!
