That makes sense. I read in another thread that your dpi should be different when scanning vintage and new cards. What's the consensus on that?

Yours is probably a 1 because of the paper loss, but I'm not a grader. Other members on here have much more knowledge to speak to that.
The Mays is extremely nice. I've seen your 52 collection. You need to send the big ones in to get them graded and "authenticated".

Yes, for sure I do, but I am still leery of sending them through the mail, and with our current CDN dollar's value, I am not willing to spend 100's more than I have to.

Peter, any thoughts off the top of your head what my card (the Mantle) would grade at?
Not going to hold you or anyone to your guesstimate, just looking for a ball park figure. (here's the back)

I'm more surprised by the 55 Clemente PSA 8 at almost 60k, and it's not even centered. I thought the market for this card was in the 30-35k range. Has it really changed that much in the last couple of months?

I expected 50-55k on the Roberto. A comparable 8 hit 44k at Goodwin in Nov, and the 9s have settled well into 6 digit range with back to back sales. When that happens the next grade down stands to get a big jolt.

I hope you're right. I think I'll sit on my 7 for a little while before I sell it. Maybe this jolt well transfer down another grade or two.

Honestly, I am not surprised. Like what has already been mentioned, that is a great looking 4.

There is a on-going SGC 7.5 in AH closing soon near 6k.

Received two random offers on my 311 in the last 12 hours. Alas that bad boy is going to my son. Though I suspect after I croak my brother is gonna try and get his hands on it!
