not a problem the asking price is 11 500 cdn so approximattly 8500 usd
thanks for all these link but i think i will pass on it. it is bad because the card is at only 2 hours from me so no custom fee like when i buy from usa.

i have 11 000 - 12 000 cdn to afford one low grade right now.

I understand the lure/excitement when one can eliminate the shipping costs, duty and the like, but, again, personally, I would want that one re-verified by someone knowledgeable before I dropped that kind of money on it.

I think, based on what I have seen, that is the ballpark, price wise, for that card up here in Canada so it actually isn't out in left field as far as pricing goes but I would, if the seller will oblige, have him send it to PSA or SGC just to make sure first.

If you really want it, tell him if he does that, and it comes back good, then you'll take it. I would assume the seller would eat the shipping/grading costs if you tell him you will pay his asking.

Good luck, but be sure to search thoroughly first.

yeah i will pass on it.
the store said to me he didn t send it to grade because the grading fee is 1000$ for psa...
its a big reputable store in buisiness since 30 years at least. But i think he will need eventually to send it to psa.

Imo, that card will not be valued at $10,000+ U.S. so his $1000 info is a bit offside.

I have never submitted any cards to any grader, but if I were to send that one in, I would put it's value at under $4,999,00, which, I think they might agree with, and likely only charge $250 U.S.

For what it's worth, nothing about the card screams fake to me. I have seen some terrible fakes in KSA holders though--ones that likely weren't put their by KSA given the grade assigned, but may have been later inserted. The only deal I remember ever backing out of was for a 52 Mantle graded bubble KSA as I just didn't feel comfortable and didn't want to eat the cross over fee if I was wrong.

I have very little experience but I was also thinking the same.

My concern with the card is if it measures correctly; and in that case, for the price the seller is charging, I would want to make sure it was first.

can always pay by credit card and have them guarantee it will pass as authentic at least with PSA..

Yea, but then you are out a substantial amount of money in grading fees and shipment costs if it comes back fake.

It's real. And it's worth $7400 give or take a few hundred.

Is that a guess, or do you know for sure?

Thats like buying insurance....always costs money unless you use it....id rather pay those fees and shipping ..or just go to a convention where PSA is present then no do it and have a fake card.
