Sps are odd ducks, many won't pass psa so they go to Beckett and sgc.

Ted,

The value of this card has come down to earth.

PSA 8 = $275
PSA 7 = $130
PSA 6 = $80
PSA 5 = oops and ouch

Chances of getting certain grades based on current pop:

PSA 8 = 42%
PSA 7 = 26%
PSA 6 = 13%
PSA 5 or lower 5%
PSA 9 or higher = good luck because you will need it!

At these prices you could just send to SGC for $15 and get FASTER service than any PSA service.

I'll take the OP at his word that they were pack pulled but we all know that does not mean anything. Serious. We have all pulled Jeter 1993 SPs out of packs (I hope) and we all know the odds. They really don't change.

Those saying SGC slabbed trimmed cards in the past are spreading misinformation. We ALL know where the majority of trimmed and altered cards reside.

Seriously.

Respectfully,

Mike

There is a distinction between trimmed and factory cut short, and this card is notorious for being factory cut short. Those are the ones that normally find their way into other slabs, or sometimes even PSA slabs on a second or third attempt.

I have nothing to add on everything mentioned about the Jeter, however it’s worth pointing out the Chipper in psa 9/10 would be worth grading too. Tough set to get top grades.

Reason being they sell easier and for more In psa slabs. Not because it's any easier to pass trimmed cards or get higher grades. More so, the factory short ones

Not that I at all subscribe to Mike's rosy view of SGC, but as to the Jeter SP, my recollection is that most of the controversy about trimmed cards being slabbed was focused on Beckett.
