Default 48 leaf Robinson record sale

Anyone else notice that psa 4 48 leaf Jackie go for 12k last night on pwcc? I didn't check VCP but I'm pretty sure that at least tripled the previous record high.

You may be right. But I don't remember seeing too many pwcc sales that were so far above the norm they were assumed to be fake. And I do remember a couple of times when that was the consensus around here, a fake sale, and the buyer came on to explain it was legitimate.

It was a pretty nice looking 4. Hard to find centered like that and the color really popped.

Peter's blows away the PWCC example, imo. Seems when PWCC puts the HE or PQ on a card it just goes nuts. Many times I do not see what they see.

And I always appreciate a good Seinfeld reference Ted.
Jesse yeah, it is, thanks. Of course it lacks the "elite" centering of the PWCC one but so it goes.

No offense to your card Peter, it looks great. But the centering on the pwcc card is why, assuming the sale was real, it went for so much more. Many cards from that era are almost impossible to find dead centered in any grade. 12k is more than I would have paid, but it's nice to see.

Congrats Peter! You should be very happy with your purchase.

And I’m very satisfied with mine, even if it doesn’t meet Chase’s approval or yours. I’ll be sure to consult you guys next time!

Sam, if it makes you happy more power to you. Yes, candidly, I think you may have overpaid, but that's just my worthless opinion.

Nice pickup Sam. I'm sure any of us who have paid premiums for centered cards in private sales would also be accused of over paying around here. Most don't understand the prices they command.

If you are happy with it, Sam, terrific. I could not afford to pay 12K for a 4 and I am likely in the minority of those who care THAT much about centering. My comment was not intended to insult you or your taste. I do however believe Peter's card appears superior from my perspective. I did not like the the upper right or the two lower corners from the back on the 4.

Peter, my bet is, in your opinion, I’ve overpaid for every card in my collection. It’s just fortunate I value your opinion as you much as you do. 😉

The ones you bought from me were priced very fairly. But more importantly, there is no question you have some fabulous cards.

That is true. We’ve done some decent business on fairly priced cards. Believe me, I much prefer to buy direct than have some dude snipe me up. Win some, lose some, I guess.

The hobby has shifted towards centering being king on high dollar blue chips.

Not kicking Peters out of bed by any means, but Sam's is far superior in today's market.

Personally if I were willing to spend thousands on a card like this for my collection, I'd choose the centered example every time.

Im new to post on here, so my comments may be less than meaningful. First off, both cards are nice and I would be very happy to own either! Personally, Id much rather have a card that was centered, especially from the 48L set, and while that 4 from pwcc was high, I do think it warrants the strong premium, especially for that issue. As already mentioned, key blue chip cards that are centered are becoming more sought after and collectors are willing to pay more to get them, grade is less important, case in point a good looking 48L Jackie psa 2.5 that had good centering sold for 3199 BIN yesterday. I can name countless auctions where centering and eye appeal drove a huge premium, as Im sure everyone can as well. Since this thread is about the 48L jackie, heres the link to the psa 2.5 I mentioned above just for fun.
