Trevor HockingSorry I started another thread but I would hate to get this mixed up with the other ones.
Lets get back to the main question at hand. Who sells for more?
Most everyone knows that I track most sales of N172 cards and have a little first hand knowledge when it come to pricing.
If you look at lots 15, 16, 17 in the past Slote auction you will find 3 SGC 88's all which sold for $983-$1,190. The $1,190 went for a premium, as it was a card a high-end collector needed. I believe lot 16 would have gone for the same $983 if it were not for that person. I know everyone is going to say that the SGC cards are in the "old holders" but I really don't think that was the cause for what I thought was some low prices. The cards looked amazing!!! I have also post a link to a current ebay auction of a PSA 8 N172 common with 7 days left which is already at $1,100.
Now coming from a collector of this set and having ALL!!! "My" cards graded by SGC I would have to say that high end examples of N172's in PSA holders sell for a good 10%-30% higher than SGC cards. I also believe that most other PSA graded N172's in any grade would sell a little bit higher as well, but it's hard for me to make a clam like that when I don't have SOLID proof.
For the record I will NEVER sent, an N172 to PSA for grading and will continue to use SGC. They may get a lower sell price but having the confidence that my card is graded correctly far out weighs the money.
