Frank WakefieldIt remains a distinction that some folks seem unable to perceive. The card remains the same, no change in value. This gets me back to the first post, folks need to open their eyes.
A different analogy. A one carat diamond, E color, VVS1 clarity. It has whatever value it has. Put it in a gold ring, maybe a slight change of total value, but the diamond itself retains the same original value. In a platinum mount, again maybe a slight gain in total value, but the diamond itself is worth the same. Give it to Tiffany & Co. and have them mount it in one of their rings, with their markings, now the ring will sell for MUCH more. Yet the value of the diamond itself remains the same.
And the card is worth what it is worth...
What if I got PSA to put a SGC slab, card and all, in a great big slab. Now I'd have something. Lord only knows what that card would be worth...
