Sad but true - it seems like the market starts with the grade, and then adjusts up if it's a nice copy or down if it's less nice. So you get anomalous results like yours just because they're in different holders. I guess for the rest of us, if we play our cards right then we can use those idiosyncrasies to our benefit.

geez, I went and looked these cards up... it's almost like someone paid more money for a blank card in a PSA holder!

Congrats Brian on the LaLonge D310!

I don't remember ever seeing a blank backed D310 before.

I took the two nice looking 1948 Magic cards.

Hey Val, I agree your Cobb was so much nicer than the other one. Was the Ruth your card also, I thought they should go together.

Chuck, congrats on winning these two. Yes, the Ruth was also mine, as well as the Gehrig and Wagner 1948 Topps Magic cards, all in SGC slabs.

Congrats on your consignments Val, great group of cards. I'm in the minority and prefer SGC slabs as they are much more aesthetically appealing for pre-war cards. Nothing better than a green label SGC card, especially if it has collector provenance.
