agreed about the museum part, but i don't think it significantly adds value.
i have to disagree about it looking better than the 7's/8's. maybe one outta that bunch. centering, registration and colors are, indeed, hard to beat but if someone is willing to spend 7/8 money, they will want one near that grade and w/ a pop that is significantly lower. they aren't gonna shell out that 7/8 money for a grade that is near half of that and a pop that is trumped by the number of higher vs lower. again, the card is gorgeous. the 4.5 does not fit and the eye appeal simply blows away the technical grade. no one is arguing that at all. a big question is why hasn't it been submitted for a review? and if it has, that would make me tend to believe that there might be a minute surface wrinkle/issue somewhere that may be barely noticeable in hand, let alone in a scan. a card that has an otherwise flawless appearance and just the hint of a wrinkle or crease is an auto 5. one w/ those corners, the only real flaw that can be seen via scan, would be designated a 4.5. that's the only conclusion that i can derive as to why it's unfairly slabbed that grade. if it hasn't been done so, i would send it in for a reholder, a definite review, and ask about slabbing the label "louisville slugger museum card" or something to that effect. send it off to pwcc and let the market determine it and hopefully get a good bidding war going. but that's me.

If he needed to sell it quickly I'm sure he would send it to PWCC. If it were my card I'd do exactly what he did. Set it with a high price and not be upset if it didn't sell. That card is one of a kind in terms of eye appeal that transcends the grade. And I doubt he really needs the money.

never said he did need the money and pwcc is not necessarily a quick pay out either.
and while you might go w/ that sales tactic as well, most would not for reasons i will not list. the review question doesn't even really need to be answered though. people give the tpg's sh!t, especially when they mess up. but every once in a while, they do get it right... and this is unfortunately, yet most likely, a case of getting it right... a couple of times.

I have never seen the card in person and can't speak to the accuracy of the grade. Even if it technically deserves a 4.5 I don't think that is the main issue. Someone will be willing to step up to get it because of the perfect color, centering, registration, etc despite the flaw that accounts for the technical grade, even if most won't be.

Based on these sales and the recent 52 topps mantle centered SGC 4 sale of $54k through one of the big auction houses, how much do you think this centered PSA 4.5 52 topps mantle is worth then?
