That's a boatload of moolah to lay out for such a desired card in this slab. Begs the question: why not in a PSA slab? Think there is a reason?? What troubles me is the daylight gap from the top of the card to the bottom of the gasket. Unless it is a poorly cut gasket, I'd take that as evidence of card trimming. Unless you are stinking rich, why take the gamble on a poss. five figure loss?

I'd be willing to take a chance on it if it had the right measurements and it was dramatically discounted.

I would agree, here is another 53 Topps and there is no gap on the top of the card. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-Topps-...kAAOSwjytaY-TA Last edited by WWG; 02-08-2018 at 11:21 AM.

That's an early GAI holder. I have broken many out and sent to one of the other grading companies and never lost more than half a grade. However there's always a first time. That's a lot of money to take a chance.

Someone's already been down this road...
Per VCP, looks like the card was sold by the same eBay seller (kcfutures9) in April 2017.
VCP: [4/10/17 eBay Image kcfutures9 m***2 Best Offer $15,999.00 ] Anyone wanna guess the odds that someone did a quick submission to PSA for crossover and got told the card did not meet standards before returning it to kcfutures9? Is 99% too high a guess...?
