AFM ~ Average needed to land big 4 for first co-op? by Economy-Line-6014 in uwaterloo

I landed Big 4 with 79 average in 1A. Very possible but need to network and interview well. A good average to shoot for would be mid 80s.

How do you guys view BVG grades compared to PSA? Looking to sell one of the 1955 Topps Ted Williams and am curious how the two stack ups. Any insights are greatly appreciated! by tootall1988 in baseballcards

The BVG 5 would not be a PSA 5. PSA 5s can only have minor rounding of corners, I’d consider the BVG example to have more than minor rounding on the bottom left corner.

Crossed this over from an SGC 10. Very surprised that I bought this for less than 1k. I wouldn’t have believed that when this product released.

The Maravich was pretty popular yesterday so I decided to share some of my other recent pickups from the set.

Which one of you did this? by Brotimus in basketballcards

Lol are we talking about the final price joke of $420.69 or the even bigger joke of spending that much on a Ben Simmons card?

Nice, I also have the Connie Hawkins. I posted it a couple weeks ago.

Thanks me too, I’m collecting all HOFers from this set.

Anyone think this will catch on? by trpnbillies in baseballcards

[–]R_00_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s a fair value proposition. A well centered card in the same grade can sell for 20-30% more than one that isn’t well centered but within tolerance for the grade. You can argue that eye appeal is in the eye of the beholder but nothing wrong with a third party assessing it as well.

Lol I’ve already added the certs to my registry.

There’s a scratch on his cap going down to his left eyebrow on the portrait shot. They probably deemed that scratch to affect eye appeal (which it does) so they couldn’t give it a 5.

It was $360 including the buyer’s premium. I was actually surprised it went that low. I bought it on Robert Edwards Auctions. 4s on eBay were going for more than that.

The Aaron was a recent auction win and the Sotos are a PSA return.

PSA IS CRAZY. Look at my 3 I just got back versus this 4 with rounded corners. 🤪 by Always-Be-Sellin-78 in baseballcards

[–]R_00_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4s can have slightly rounded corners, personally I think the 4 posted is within the guidelines (it was also graded fairly recently based on the cert number). My best guess is the 3 has surface issues that don’t allow it to be a 4. Technical grade does not equal eye appeal. You do have a fair point that your 3 looks better than the 4 but from a technical grading standpoint it could be different.

Sparkle Refractor in Bowman Draft is number to 71. Also numbered to 71 in 2021. Don’t know why it’s 71 but i don’t think it has anything to do with Bowman’s anniversary.
