SGC 9 is what my hypothetical was meant to say though. Still the same?

It's an interesting philosophical debate. Would buyers pay slightly less for this card if it were in an SGC 9.0 holder instead of SGC 9.5?

My gut tells me that there is probably a difference. But I'm guessing it might not be as much as we would expect. I wouldn't be surprised if it still got to $10M+ even at SGC 9.0 instead of SGC 9.5.

Maybe but at SGC 9 it probably doesn't get a flip saying it's the best one in the history of the universe. Would that matter?

Could be! It�s just tied for best in the universe on the SGC pop charts?

So maybe it only goes for $8M?

I mean who knows but I think that designation had to be worth a couple of million especially if the buyer is investment minded.

I guess part of the question for me is whether the buyer plans to cross it over to PSA. Obviously that takes some real boldness. But if they did, are they assuming it would cross to a PSA 9? And what would a PSA 9 be worth?

But maybe it would cross lower?

But the odds are good that the buyer isn�t planning to do anything more than stick it in the vault at home and wait for it to go up.

But then it becomes one of what, 6 PSA 9s along with 3 10s? Kinda loses its claim to fame.

Mr mint was always known as a man of integrity and his salemanship was free from hyperbole.
