Impulsive card purchases -- Trust your gut or run?

Definitely a crossover attempt or two. Nice card. Did you check the measurements before purchase?

Yeah, I carry a small, flexible ruler with me and it seemed to pass. That said, it's never stopped PSA from a MINSIZEREQ with me on an unaltered card in the past. I would have never had the guts to by an unslabbed card of this magnitude, so hopefully trimmed cards in BVG holders aren't an epidemic...

Had my loupe with and card looked stellar with that as well.

You either carry more cash with you to a card show than I do, or you have a trustworthy face and someone took a check or credit card. Either way, sweet pickup.

Past Eagle Scout, so the scout motto remains: Be Prepared
It's a dealer whom I know, but that didn't make the purchase any easier.

Beuatiful card Jason

Bob-- it's ok to take a bunch of cash as long as you do not leave it in the rental car

Brilliant card. Definitely try a crossover.

As for the OP. Gut all the way. I've rarely regretted a spur of the moment buy at a show. More often I regret passing on an item at a show.
