I pulled this card back in the day. It was completely scratched up. I sold it for 50 bucks years ago.

Two words: artificial scarcity.

Truer words were never spoken.

That’s why I don’t buy 10s from any grading company, especially from that busted ass company PSA. People don’t even collect cards anymore, they collect labels.

I want this card 😢

[@FiveCardGuys]

💯

[@billysikes1374]

I have 2, both for sale, not graded, 1 is in dead perfect shape

Wow imagine if someone had by accident/chance kept around some sealed cartons or cases? Look up the going rate for them at BBCE and you'll see what I mean.
But seriously if I had $200K for baseball cards (that'll be the day) I'd much rather have nice 1950s/1960s sets. I'll take those over one card with a little number 10 over it any day!

[@in2rock275]

Only the big boys get 10's. They send thousands of cards in and you send in 1. Who do you think is going to get a 10? I'd rather have cards authenticated and buy on eye appeal. Wouldn't that be fun. That's never going to happen though because there's too much money involved.

even 800 for PSA 8 sounds high.

[@FiveCardGuys]

I don’t disagree

[@oldandbitter]

Disgusting what the hobby has become. People pull 1 of 1s and get them graded. How much vslue can you expect to add??

[@drewhunkins7192]

I have an 8. It's a nice 8; when I look at 9s I don't see any difference between the 9s and my 8.

They take absolutely no responsibility for why a card got the grade it did. Furthermore they set the market price, however in their fine print, they say they take no accountability in issuing a grade. Too bad whoever sent in that nine, got a grader who was having a bad day.
