Steve,

I wondered the same thing, I also find it funny.

Put that card at risk by cleaning or whatever was done for a 2-5k bump at best....and if it went wrong..a loss of 32k. Seems silly to me...others may feel different.

If the seller did just slip it in as a regular hof t206 and didn't insure properly, what would've happened if the grader realized what was going on and stole the card ? Or the whole package ? What recourse would the submitter have if not properly insured or submitted ? How could they sleep while the card was away ?

Thanks, Glyn -- I completely missed that. I didn't get the catalog, but I should have easily seen it on their site...

I think the seller probably saw a wider distribution of values...

Just making up some numbers,

2.5% things go wrong - lose 15k
10% things go wrong, get altered grade, even upon resubmit - lose 10k
20% nothing changes, grade remains the same - break even
45% things go okay, get 2.5 grade - make 5k
22.5% everything goes better than expected, get grade of PSA 3 - make 30k

That's expecting to make 7.5k on 32k...which isn't a bad return...and is bumped up a lot if you choose to fool yourself into believing that the downside can't possibly occur...

It's an interesting choice to admit to cleaning the card (although it is nice that they did that)...

Steve

Only did that online...not in the catalog. FWIW
