Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>If it was already graded PSA NRMT thats a good deal, if not your taking a huge risk that its trimmed and worth only a fraction of that $700. <br /><br />The questions you need to ask..... Why isnt it graded now? <br /><br />If it is owned by a noncollector or a recently discovered card (attic find) it has a good chance of being unaltered and my be a great buy at $700. But if it is owned by a baseball collector, yet is ungraded, is has a good chance it has problems (trimmed).<br /><br />Id ask the seller to guarantee it will grade (any grade).

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>...scans can be very deceiving. I have SGC 20's that scan like they're 80's. It's the wrinkles you can't see in the scans that is most troubling, and why thrid party grading is vital to purchasing high end cards over the internet.
