Way overgraded... there are two indentations on the left edge side of the back of the card!

Not to mention that this IS NOT a vintage card and, therefore, belongs on the other board.

Yea...the original consignor lost his shirt. The person who bought it thru REA then tried to run it through Memory Lane's "Own It" sale - with no takers. I like to gamble as much as the next guy - just not gonna do it with a $15,000-$25,000 card.

Will it get to 15k? Might be maxed out already need psa with a card like this.

If I had it I'd bust the card out and use it as a bookmark in that great, must read book that Daniel E. Ginsburg wrote, The Fix is In.

Someones playing the gambling game. This exact card sold early last year in the Heros of Sport Auction for $23,000+, the consignor immediately sold it again in REA for $17,000. Lets see if Ebay can out match the auction houses on this card. I bet it closes at $25k but then again this is out of my realm.

It is amazing how Pete Rose cards have held their value over the years. I have to admit, it would be neat to own a Pete Rose rookie. I've just found the prices to be too high, even for lower grade examples.

I am sure the seller is a good seller.... but that being said I am always leery of any price I see obtained on Fleabay....there are just so many ways someone consigning could manipulate the sale. Again, let me repeat, I am not saying anything about this seller, who is probably a great guy and is straight up.

That being said, I agree with Johnny's comment.....this is a card that would do better with folks fighting for the plastic (see PSA)......

And last thing, this thread should really be on the post war side so lets be mindful in the future please....regards
