Has the vintage community lost this much faith in GAI that this card hasn't sold with a very very low BIN? I own one or would have it? $69? I paid $71 for my PSA 1 with paper loss and I thought my deal was very good. Comments?

People said it was a million dollar wound. But the government must keep that money, cause I ain't never seen a penny of it.

Graded 30/2's of HOFers tend to go for $50-$60, that is why I think that this card has not yet sold. GAI may be a factor, I know the more I see the more I do not like of them. I suspect if the BIN was around $65 it probably would have sold.

I like GAI, but their grades are often a bit inflated. $69 is a good price for the card and I would consider it if I needed that card. As for a PSA 1 for $71, that is a bit high I think. 1's have been selling for about $40-$50 lately.

Edited to Add: $69 is a good price, but not a great one

1. The scans are blurry.
2. GAI routinely overgrades and I think they are getting a rep for that, especially with low end cards. I have seen a ton of GAI 2s that are charitably 1.5s with SGC and 1s with PSA (since it doesn't split p and f grades).

With a blurry scan, I would not bid on the card as a "2". I would have to assume it has some damage that isn't quite visible. As a poor or fair card it isn't worth the money.

That seems kind of low compared to some prices i've seen on ebay. I've seen PSA 2 SGC 30's of HOFers go for $75-$90....

Possibly $71 was high for some. But, it's a nice looking 1.

That is a really nice looking Bender for a 1, too bad it has paper loss. As for price, I guess I'm just a bargain hunter....
