After reviewing all the responses in this thread (some 80+ posts), I have these observations....

1....By a factor of 12-1, agreed that the Evers card was overgraded by PSA

2....But, according to most of you, the 410 I paid for it is about right

3....Many agree that the Cicotte card is undergraded

4....But, you Graded card guys guess its purchase price to be only 150 - 275

Given that both these cards have Sovereign backs....and, one is a highly sought after Black Sox
player....while, the other is a HOFer and a T206 "super-print"....can you "Graded Guys" explain
to me why you are saying that the Cicotte should be approx. 1/2 the value of the Evers ?

This does not make any logical sense, guys.

And, I will not accept the argument that the Cicotte is graded by an "inferior" Grading Co (GAI).
Basically, all Grading Company's are the same.....it's the "human factor" that differs.

However.....
T206Collector says...."Given that GAI is a more permissive grader of T206 cards than PSA and SGC".
Is that a commonly held opinion by most of you ? I don't understand that statement ?

Finally, in this hobby you WIN some, and you LOSE some....
I won with the Cicotte card and I lost with the Evers card.
