TGIF...
I picked this up from a fellow net54'er. Sure, technically it's OC, but since I don't have OCD (man, IMHO i'm using way too many acronyms), if I went back to 1965 in a time machine and broke this Hammerin' Hank out of a pack, it would never even enter my mind that it was 'problematic.' I'll take cards like this any day of the week!! 1965aaron170.jpg

I haven't owned a Koufax rookie since I sold one almost 20 years ago. This one fit my budget and eye appeal requirements.

Beautiful card. Looks way better than a PSA 3. Awesome centering too. Congrats.

That Dimaggio has always been a bucket list card for me. A PSA altered one sold in early December for around $400, I probably should have considered it harder than I did.

Gorgeous 4, that’s on par with my 5. Is there a hidden wrinkle somewhere or something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not that I can see...there’s a light scratch near his cap but I don’t think that should be enough to make it a 4. Oh well, just a number.

All of this to me just speaks to PSA inconsistency. If these cards were raw in a case together 30 years ago, would they be priced differently? What do the TPG's have in their arsenal that's beyond "in the eye of the beholder"? I'm still struggling to see.

The cards would be priced differently, they would be lower.
Crack out a mint 9 Mantle and try to get graded pricing. It will never happen. Grading has created an inflated price structure that at a minimum, in most cases, the cost of grading is passed on to the consumer and reflected in pricing. Factor in the numerical grade, and the seller can set just about any price they choose. Whether the card sells at that price is another story. It's only worth what someone is willing to pay.

My point was how would they be priced in relation to each other if still raw - the 6 or the 5.5 that look worse than the 5?

I imagine there is little difference in price, maybe 20 bucks or so, given your scenario.
