First-ever SGC 10 Wilt Chamberlain Rookie Graded

Guess is the operative word. There's just no basis to value this card, it could go anywhere in a very large range depending on which elite buyers really want it.

Come on and play. There are still lots of numbers not taken. I will give my guess after you so you have more choices.

If someone can put a value on a Stahl Meyer Mantle 9 surely with the data available on Chamberlain rookies, a price point could be reasonably established, no?

I feel like a contestant on The Price is Right. Is it safe to assume PSA declined to put it in a 10 holder? If I had an SGC 10 of this card I would sure try.

My guess is cost.

As it sits the owner is a complete non collector who walked into a tiny card shop in Crosby, Minnesota which is a town of 2300 people. There is no auction house involved and just a bunch reaching out after the sgc video and the shop’s instagram photos started making the rounds. The SGC cost would have been much less and to a guy with zero knowledge you take the savings. For a regular Joe, I am sure he was blown away at likely taking a loan to grade this with no auction house fronting it.

Perhaps the auction house that wins the battle may try. I see no way PSA wouldn’t want their name on this card for the PR, it gets a 10 or they suck worse than I think, lol. At least with the cut, this is one they grade that isn’t trimmed up.
