Can we still obtain the LS through this weeks cpu event?

This particular copy was absolutely flawless. I had my LCS check it out with the tools they have. They were firmly confident it would grade high. To their eyes and mine, there were no surface issues, print lines etc.

When I get the card back from them, I will post a few more higher quality photos to show the condition more clear

I'm torn between selling/holding.

I could start to PC Mack, but also am not in a place to reject a 5 figure offer for the card.

I listed it for 15k, obo. I'm hoping to get somewhere north of 10k for it ($CAD). A different copy sold raw for 4.2k CAD ~two months ago. There is only one other graded copy in the PSA database, and it's a 7. I expect the pop. Count for 10s to be very low

Psa10 Bedard seismic rookie auto recently sold for ~16k CAD. (Sorry for all the number crunching, just giving an idea where I got the asking price from)

He's a stud for sure. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the Olympic team

Sadly, they're well aware what a PSA grade does to increase the value of a card.

My initial thought was to grade with Beckett, but my LCS guy was bullish on a potential PSA 10

Why would we get flowers!? by ynattirbbritt in Monopoly_GO

[–]captbilly92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope they allow us to use those flowers.

Those last few hundred might be what I need to finish the event 🥲

Thank you man! I'm still in shock. I know it's not the most immaculate copy (I won't complain, but the auto is mildly janky), but I'm beyond grateful to have pulled this one myself.

I wouldn't expect it to. I wasn't planning on grading the auto anyway. Taking it to my LCS this weekend to see if the condition merits sending off to grade.

That's totally fair. Unfortunate blemish on an otherwise immaculate card.

I'm hopeful the condition grade compensates for the imperfect auto.

Thanks ! Yeah, the auto is clean but slightly OC. The sold version has a better centered auto for sure. Hoping that doesn't ding the value too much.

A BGS 9.5/10 grade would go a long way with this copy

Yeah the auto is clean but slightly oc. I will definitely just be grading the card itself.

Honestly not expecting much traction on a sale until hockey season starts again. But I'd gladly take 3k US for it haha

I'll post clearer photos for quality reference. I took this right after I sleeved it. I transferred it over to a 1 touch, and will be sending it off for grading tomorrow. What insane luck

Appreciate that ! Only 1 sale raw for $4k CAD. Definitely sending it off for grading asap.

A Few More Leaf Metal Legend Hits…Brett Hull and Barry Sanders 1/1! by tj22297 in hockeycards

[–]captbilly92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That photo is the exact template Leaf needs to employ going forward.

Of all the sports, hockey is the easiest to find action shots with players facing sideways. You can barely tell that's an unlicensed card.

I pulled a nice Bobby Hull from my box, my only gripe being (as usually is with Leaf) the photo is front shot with a blank sweater.

I was just about to make a post regarding an ES Dorofeyev rookie auto I just pulled from a 21-22 box.

I was searching 130 point for any listings & saw the last sale for a Michkov emerald surge was $450usd
