The tale of three Magees

[Matthew H]

I'd much rather have a crease then rounded corners. If you have a cards in a binder with sharp corners but the occasional crease, to me, it looks better then having an occasional card with round corners.

A crease is instant damage for the most part. I've found creased cards with sharp corners and a great surface and not much other general wear.

Edit: I think that third magee sold for less because its not as nice as the other two...

When did the portrait sales get this high? I think the last sale is close to where I remember them selling at on average. Maybe I'm wrong, but $130 seems a bit high to me. However, looking at the completed listings, it does seem like these sale prices reflect the average...

I have yet to get the Portrait version...I better hurry before they reach the amount the error is going for

I just wanted to say that EVERY deal with Rick probstien, buying or selling, is a pleasurable and fair deal. Top shelf operation----- I like them!
In my opinion the Probstein card was the nicest!

For those who find the Probstein card to be the best of the bunch (this includes me), why did it sell for less? Here are the only differences I see:
Broadhurst "appears" to have a crease, while Probstein "appears" to be crease free
Broadhurst sold first (on a Monday at 9:30pm EST) while Probstein sold on the following Sunday at 10:10pm EST.
Broadhurst listing contains a backscan.

Looking at the bid history:
only two people went over $75 for the Broadhurst; the underbidder (n***n - 3153) went to $128.
four bidders went over $75 for the Probstein; n***n bid again, but this time stopped at $110.
two bidders over $75 on the PWCC; n***n was the underbidder AGAIN, stopping at $77.

I think if there would have been a backscan on the Probstein, it would have gone $20+ higher than where it ended. Thoughts?
