Nice price last night on a 58 Aaron SGC 7

[Peter_Spaeth]

An absolute killer PSA 7 far nicer than this card with a divot and print issues just sold for 600 or so. Next argument?

Got a link? It'd be good to make that comparison.

Dang, that's a smokin' Aaron. If that went for $600-ish recently, the PWCC one is crazy - particularly since it's SGC and the $600-ish one is PSA so I'd think the registry folks would provide a bump...

It does look good (the PSA one), but there appears to be some kind of print defect on his neck.

That PSA one sold for $633.50 on Feb. 26 (last month). For my money and all attributes considered on both that one and the SGC example, I'd rather have the PSA one and another $500+ in my pocket...

Yup. Not even close. But even if you marginally preferred the divot card for some reason, there is no merits-based explanation of the price.

It's just my opinion but, to me, the SGC 7 is much nicer than the PSA 7. The PSA 7, really looks like a 6 or 6.5 to me. Look at that bottom left corner. That alone should have kept it out of a 7 holder. On the other hand, the SGC 7 has much sharper corners and really looks like a 7.5 or 8 to me. If I were buying one of those two cards and the price was the same, I would pick the SGC hands down.

Not all buyers check sold listings, check VCP, check available comps and wait for a bargain.

Some people just see a card they like and buy it.

I bet most of the people that buy off PWCC have never heard of VCP.

The PSA 7 is a nice card but comparing the SGC to the PSA 7, the SGC 7 is a bit better. Not $500+ better, imo. The final price really does not make sense but many instances have been pointed out here where cards have sold for numbers far in excess of what previous examples have gone for.

What are you people talking about?

Come on, Peter. That little speck makes the PSA 7 "far nicer" than the SGC 7? If not, then what makes it far nicer? How do you know it's not a speck on the scanner? To me, it looks a different color than the rest of the border, so it could be a speck on the scanner in just the right spot to make it appear as if it's something on the border. Besides, look at the back - the speck is not there.

Look again, it is. You're wrong. It's a defect of some sort.
