Will Clark Team USA Card

Adding to what Steve said, PSA will actually grade a good number of these. Some of the Baseball Card Magazine cut outs can bring hundreds of dollars in a PSA 10 with even a few 9’s breaking $100. I’ve also seen 1987 Broders Bo Jackson cards in PSA holders going for some pretty good money.

PSA has cracked down on what they will grade, limiting only to cards that are licensed (by team and/or player) and checklisted. That would severly limit cards printed by Broder and the like.

During the COVID boom, they were grading Chicago Bulls pocket schedules. Beckett got into the fray as well. I guess it got them a flood of Jordan’s that way. Nothing like the allmighty dollar dictating things.

The Broder cards are way different than the Baseball Card Magazine cards. One was licensed and one was a father son(Ed & Rob Broder) team that made their own "cards". I don't think I have ever seen an actual Broder card graded. I have seen them in slabs that the autograph was authenticated but not the card.

I think they are cool and have a lot of the Wade Boggs ones. I also had a lot of Mark Grace ones but I sold most of them.

The BB Card magazine cards were issued by Krause Publications which were very important then and still (albeit with a different name and less of an impact in the hobby) issued by a very legit publishing house and as such is right on the borderline about being acceptable as BB Card Mag always had solid editorial content.

See below. 8 PSA graded Bo Jackson cards from his rookie year in 1987, all 9’s and 10’s. Although, it does state that they no longer grade that particular issue. Also, several other players from the same set have been graded by PSA, including Jose Canseco.

Do we think that these Baseball Card Magazine cards that are borderline legitimate should be selling in the $1,000 range for PSA 10’s of Jordan, Griffey and Jackson?

Phil, any buying and selling decisions as to what cards sell for is up to the marketplace, not our place to make those decisions.

I am with Rich on this. I also don't collect graded cards and only own a few so no idea on graded pricing.
