Super pumped. Did not expect it to come back a PSA 10 as they are super strict graders. It shows value as $161,000 on the PSA site. I have serious doubts it'd sell for that, but I think I can get $35,000 to $40,000 for it. Im never this lucky. Feels awesome to finally get a win.

What I wasn't a big fan of was PSA charges you $1,000 if you get a Gem Mt PSA 10 grade on a card with value of over $15k on top of the $60 you pay to get each card graded. I emailed that this doesn't feel right. It should be the same cost whether it grades a PSA 2 or PSA 10 regardless of the price tag.

Is that true? What could possibly be the justification for the extra charge? That’s blatant theft.

I should have graded my holographic charzard from 1998 before selling it for 3k.
A fool and his money.

The fact that people are willing to pay that much for mass produced cardboard is mind blowing

The best athlete the game has seen, he was a starting point guard in college too.

Tony Gwynn wasn’t even the best athlete the Padres team had ever seen, much less “the game”.

Is this a baseball card?

Where do you take baseball cards to to be graded?

Outside of only a few true rare cards this has always been one of the all time worst investments. Somehow they keep making believers of every generation. Capitalize on the hype, bc I guarantee you that cardboard picture won’t be worth shite once the music stops (again)

Sell it for $165,000. Its an investment so make them pay for the future value.

Bring it to a card show, tell them you got an offer for $162,000 but you are giving anyone who will pay more, the opportunity to make you an offer.

the pop report shows 37 Gem 10's. There are rarer cards but that is still pretty damn rare. I have a Sandberg from that 83' set that is an 8+ i am pretty sure.
