So do you guys think the novelties went for good prices overall? How were the PSA 5 ones? Were they undergraded or did PSA just throw darts.

[vwtdi]

The PSA 5s looked just as good as the 6.5s in my opinion. A couple had some very minor what I would call toning on the back, but there were also a couple of 5s that didn't. All were consistently nice condition with sharp corners across the board. An amazing grouping with none postally used.

It seemed apparent that all of the Novelty Cutlery PCs were under graded. I think there were two 6.5s in the auction, both of which are the highest graded by PSA (or SGC). I think PSA was afraid to give out higher grades. The Speaker PSA 5 and Collins PSA 6.5 went for slightly lower than I expected, but the WaJo and Wagner prices made my jaw drop!!

Sick that a PSA 6 vs PSA 5.5 of the same card could command a $6k (w/ juice) premium. I guess the 5.5 buyer had to "settle" for second place....but saved $6k in the process. Maybe 5.5 cracks, resubmit a and has a 6.5. That would be AWESOME!

That's awesome. The Nap Lajoie and Speaker looked better than 5s and thought would have fetched more.
