Goodwin is up

[Leon]

Where are the flowery write ups when you need them?

Those OJ's are "nice for the grade".

this PSA holder debacle:

Peter-Dan said "serious" Old Judge collector

Anyone have any idea why the starting bid on the PSA 4 T-206 lundgren (Kansas city) has a starting bid of $200? That starting bid is higher than any documented sale price of that card, which is a common. It sells regularly for $60-80 on eBay with a few low to mid $100s sprinkled in...

I love the expertise being flashed regarding d304's.

I'm gonna send all my Brunner's to PSA to be rarified!

....maybe somebody skipped class during that boring D card lecture.


"A true One of One, no other PSA graded Butter Krust Crawford examples are known. Under other bakers and variations within the D304 designation, 12 Crawford have been graded, with two PSA 6’s and one PSA 8.5 of Crawford’s more common Brunner’s variation grading higher--but none of those examples carry the scarcity of the Butter Krust back. What makes this offering of even greater interest is the fact that no Chicago or New York designation exists on the Butter Krust panel. Only four other D304 examples (1 of Nap Rucker and 3 of Frank “Home Run” Baker) have ever been graded with this highly scarce back panel "

I'm reposting this because it didn't get a response the first time. Is this starting bid high because the consigner wishes it that way or am I missing something completely?

Not so sure this is Brown...factory cut..which I've never seen on a Brown Old Mill...also way too dark IMO.

[Bridwell]

That's funny, John. Sure looks black to me!

I've got a Magee T206 card labeled as a PSA 5 Magie error. Maybe Goodwin will take it on consignment?

Yikes! Somebody made a big mistake. SGC better get that pulled before they have to pay $1000s for it.

Agreed. For years I thought the difference was minimal and thought I owned several. Then I saw one in person and saw that the difference is MAJOR. Just compare the scan from the brown back in the last auction to this one. Doesn't even seem remotely similar in color.

EDIT: Damn you Jim, you beat me by a minute!

[teetwoohsix]

Wow.

I don't know what was going on at PSA when they were grading those OJ's,,,,and the one floating around in that slab,looks like it may have done a little corner damage?

I also once thought my Ike Rockenfeld T206 was a brown back,,,but,of course,just faded black.That "brown back" looks pretty "black".Maybe it's just the scan?

Clayton

Edit to add:Just saw your post Gary-agreed.I would be pissed if I submitted that beautiful card to PSA and they sent it back floating around in their slab like that!!!

Who would bid on that card anymore at PSA7 pricing? The corners are sure to get dented moving around like that.

Regarding the N172 Nicholson that's moved around in the holder.....problem with trying to straighten it out is that you could end up doing more damage to the card. I've tried it myself with a 1974 Topps stamp that had become diagonal in the holder.....after I tried to straighten it out, it had become so wedged into the holder's edges, that there's now absolutely no way to straighten it out, and no way that it's still in the grade it was in at the time of encapsulation

I assume if it were sent back to PSA for re-holder it wouldn't make a difference?

[murcerfan]

got rare?

who knows? I once had a cracker jack floating around in an over-sized PSA holder (but at least it had a mylar sleeve to help keep it in place) that I sent in for re-holdering and it came back in a perfect fitting holder.

JP- yes, $200 for a Lundgren, Kansas City is too high, and it looks like there is some confusion between the Chicago and KC team variations.
