Pawn Stars...Babe ruth strip card

[ullmandds]

So my friend sent me this link to a pawn stars episode featuring a babe ruth strip card that walked in in psa 10. The guy was asking 60K...they offered him 8K.

To me...no strip cards should receive a numerical grade...alas...I don't think this card is worth anywhere near 8K

What do y'all think?

I had this card in a SGC 8. Sold at LOTG for a little over $700 as I recall

I am going to have to learn about Strip Cards. Since seeing this thread I been looking at them on ebay.
Basically the dark days of bb cards and all were made on thin paper. Right?

[ullmandds]

no strips are mostly on thicker stock. they are not terribly desirable...and there were plenty of other issues from that era.

could be a cheaper point of entry though!

He should have taken it for $40,000. It was a deal compared to what the exact same card is selling for on eBay. At that price, you would think the S/H would be free.

100k For a freshly cut strip card seems about right.....

Don't forget $69.99 for shipping! Can't let THAT card go for anything less than $100 K!

I got one just like it! Beautiful color, no creases or folds or holes! SGC A, slightly trimmed on left edge and a big trim on what i paied compared to that. Lol

This is one area of card grading that is total bullshit to me. I no longer have any strip cards in my collection except one Babe Ruth but I used to have some that should have been mint condition and were graded authentic . They are minting money for a select few customers .

so a strip card you have/had that you feel is a mint card but cant get a number grade from a TPG isn't worth having in your collection? Doesn't that make it no longer about a mint card but the holder and someone else's opinion? For me a grade just participates in helping to determine a marketable price - the card itself is immutable.

don't be twisting my words around now!!!!! most strip cards are butt ugly...and this was no exception!!!!!! "that'' is the reason it is gone!!!!!

if u know my collection you'd know I'm not concerned w/numerical grades.
