The PSA 101 Jordan is here

So the PSA 9 Jordan 101 goes for nearly $450K with the vig. What do you think? Word is this was a BGS 8.5 cross over. That’s getting paid!

Not saying it can't happen, but I've never seen an untrimmed one well centered enough to get a PSA 9 other than by favor.

Personally I’ve seen a handful of #101’s well centered and pulled two myself from bags back in the day. See pic below, sold at Heritage a few years back. Overgraded (due to corners and not gem centered), but my best one in terms of centering. I agree, they are quite rare to find centered though, and even the nicer ones left-to-right usually have a very minor tilt.

Now I’ve NEVER seen the other two Jordans in that base set centered, the #195 and #288. Never. I have seen a few that were centered, even in BGS holders, but there’s no question in my mind that they had their wider side trimmed to make them look close to 50/50 left-to-right. As far as I’m concerned, legitimately centered 195s, 288s do not exist unless hand cut from the excess sheets Schonco and others purchased or they were trimmed.

Impressive #'s by Goldin auctions. Even the BGS 8 got 23.4K
Compared to the 86-7 Fleer Jordans--its getting noticable
As i read on Blowout, perhaps makes that 100k buyer look good.
