Mays crossover opinion
I recently picked this up. Nice centering. Older SGC Label. SGC 70, so a 5.5
I noticed a centered PSA 2 closing in on $2k. Makes me think a PSA holder might be a good idea for this one. Should I request a 4 minimum grade? Thoughts... Last edited by Canofcorn; 06-06-2016 at 10:16 AM. |

If I was you seabass I would just keep it in the SGC slab, although I feel like we have talked about this before somewhere. Although a minimum 4 might be doable, sharp looking card. Pretty sure that SGC themselves would reevaluate the card as well since it's a legacy flip so you couldn't even guarantee a 5.5 from them.

No doubt that card is at least a PSA 4
Beautiful card nonetheless!

I would roll the dice on that card crossing to a 5.
PSA seems motivated to get all cards into their holders. Just my two cents. RayB

I think a PSA 4 is a pretty good bet. Here is a link to a PSA 2 that is just under 2K with bidding still open. http://www.ebay.com/itm/381643007063...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Last edited by jb67; 05-30-2016 at 07:29 AM. Reason: update. |

that current auction on that '2' is really between two bidders since the $1000 mark.....they have driven the card to the $2000 mark...just the two bidders..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-Topps-W...gAAOSwneRXQkiO' heres a link of a '5' that sold yesteday for about 2k (its interesting that someone with the same feedback score (currently 477) bid his max of $1700 on the '5' and bid $1901 on the '2'...same feedback score...perhaps the same bidder? theres a decent 3.5 asking 1400 right now or best offer http://www.ebay.com/itm/Willie-Mays-...0AAOSwMN9XQ13d i just saying, if you have a '2' dont expect to get 2000 for it..except in the rarest or rare occasions... the mays cards have gone up a ton though so who knows Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 05-30-2016 at 08:19 AM. |

Thanks for the opinion guys. I also think that PSA 2 auction might also be BS, but it does show that centering carries a premium. That 3.5 has a crease and the 5's top to bottom isn't all that great. In the end, I'm very excited to be owning this card again. My collection took a huge hit when I purchased my 52 Mantle last year, as I had to sell off almost all my heavy hitters, including a 52T Mays, Robinson, & Campy on Net54 (along with my favorite Trouts) Now that the dust has settled - I'm slowly building it back up, although these spike in prices are making it tough.

Yes a little fishy lol. But I do see the prices going up. Even if you totally discard that auction

As for the OPs card it's nice too. I'd say it has a chance at a PSA 5 and is worth an attempt at a cross.

[QUOTE=pokerplyr80;1544678]That is a great looking PSA 2. I don't think you can just write this one off as shill or fraudulent bidding. Dead centered and nice corners. It doesn't look like a 2.
well its 2 bidders over the k price point...lets at least see 3 unique bidders.. |

[QUOTE=1952boyntoncollector;1544680]Im not saying you're right or wrong. Just that's the best looking Mays 2 I've seen and those two guys might be bidding accordingly.

Well, how many more bidders look at Probstein auctions over a regular Joe's auction?

for card X include all average Joe's cards as well. I can't imagine anyone trying to find a specific card/ condition just looking at those auctions. As to whether or not serious bidders prefer to buy from those larger auctions- I can't say |

Sorry didn't want this thread turning into a shilling discussion between the big sellers. Of course it happens everywhere..big..small... and not just with the 2 mentioned.
I was just asking about crossover opinions and the grade you think it would receive, or if I should leave it sinc it's an old label. I got the answers I needed, thank you Last edited by Canofcorn; 05-31-2016 at 07:31 AM. |

Im surprised they admit they shilled it. I would expect something along the lines of "winner said he's unable to pay."

I crossed an SGC 70/5 '52 Robinson to PSA and got a 4, and my Robinson looked weaker than yours. I'd say you've got a great chance of at least a 4, and it might even carry over to a 5.
