Yes, and it is what I am anxiously waiting for. I heard from an anonymous source that they are hoping for an end of year, first of year, launch. I think you will see a bit more activitiy around here, concerning CGC, once those holders are available. I have quite a few larger sized cards I need to send in.

At least it's a card. I'll never forget PSA grading a newspaper clipping of Nolan Ryan that one time.

Personally, I have no issue grading a magazine clipping, as long as it says that on the holder. If someone wants to grade them, who cares? Weirder things have been graded. Heck, most of the TPG's still have their heads up their ass on what a handcut card is. None of these are handcut. And the pack they came in....(as shown before)

You and me both, brother. I think their holders are the best in the business in terms of balancing security and aesthetics, and since so much of what I am into is postcard size (Exhibits), I am holding stuff too. I like SGC, but you can open their holders with a popcorn fart.

Sold for $14K. I was close but bowed out.

In March of 2021 this card sells for $80,000.

The times they are a changing.

What AH did it sell for $80,000, I guess that buyer took a bath.

I think he is say he believes it would have sold for $80k in 2021.

If it had been sold in 2021. . . .

Making point that this price would have been a fraction of what this would have pulled 2 years ago. Market ain't what it used to be.

Not a market issue. Newly discovered items are a pricing crapshoot. The spectrum of obscurity and rarity. Few people commit mega bux to a novelty. If a few more come to market I think this sale will look good.

+1 Rarity doesn't equal value. Demand equals value.
