Why not buy a great looking 5 or 6 and save the cash to buy other cool things? Then you don't have to worry (as much) about the card being altered, or cleaned up, etc since you'll have less invested in the grade.

I hear what you are saying...but I am getting this for a really good price. I am paying via paypal invoice so I feel secure about it- I can return it and get my money if there is anything funny with the card you know.

lol not craigslist... but listen here's the deal: worst case scenario- the card is not right. I return it for a full refund via paypal. Best case scenario- I score a really awesome card at a a great price. To me it seems like little risk high reward. At the end of the day, I know that I have to feel 100 percent right about it before I do it. The holder looks good, the card looks good, everything checks out..and I called paypal and they said I'm good if anything goes awry with the purchase. I know that it is possible dude could send me a reprint in the holder. I'm covered through paypal. Card could be altered or whatever- I'm covered through paypal. Bicem you said you would be suspicious of a high grade..is there anything i'm missing?

Dave,
I'm with Peter on this one. Here's the exact same DiMaggio you're looking to buy: http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2012/491.html It sold in the 2012 Robert Edwards auction for $7,100. You need to ask the person offering to sell this card how they came to own it.

honestly it could be too good to be true...it is a really good deal. So I guess when it comes to even graded cards, don't buy online unless you know the dealer is a given. But hypothetically you have the worry of getting altered cards in any deal, correct?. If the DiMaggio in question has been graded by SGC, and they missed the card being altered, where does that leave me as a buyer? There is a level of faith in any transaction, the fact that I have the paypal protection in my mind seems like it be a shot worth taking. Couldn't I just send the card in have it looked at, and have SGC confirm the grade?

Pass. The card in the scan may not be the one you get. Common scam.

hmmm....
After seeing that auction i'm starting to feel iffy on it. But that's why I come to this board. I need to be educated. I wouldn't want to do something like this with out some help. I feel like I have some knowledge about cards, but this one might be a little out of my league. Thanks for all the help thus far. "In the multitude of counselors, there is wisdom"

I don't see any evidence of the card in the picture you've provided being altered. The question here is "does the seller have the card in question"? If this is somebody you're doing business with online, ask the seller to take a few other pictures of the card with them holding it, or their name/Ebay id in the picture with the card. If the seller is legit, they should have no problem doing this. If the seller is trying to scam you, they'll back out somehow.
