Im not a huge fan of grading but if I was spending $30,000 you're damn right I want it graded.

+1, especially considering (at least) the bottom edge looks trimmed to me.

According to seller: "It's super rare to have a 1958 Leaf Satchel Paige"

He is right because I never saw a 1958 Leaf. Has anyone else?

I messaged this guy asking if he’d get it graded when he initially had a no reserve auction for it and he didn’t seem like he wanted to. It’s gotta be a fake... the thing is, though, he had some other pretty high dollar cards that sold at prices as if people thought they were genuine, so you never know

Only SGC or Beckett will grade the blank backs and your best hope is an A with SGC (no grade numbers) so I am not sure that would even suffice most people who want it graded (i.e. through PSA).

It’s real. At least his other stuff is real. I bought one of the 1951 Bowman Mantles and it was as advertised.

My holy grail is the 48 leaf satch... but no way I would touch that one (even if I could afford it)

ajjohnsonsoxfan · #8 03-31-2018, 08:55 PM

How about one with a facial scar? :-)

pawpawdiv9 · #9 04-01-2018, 08:37 AM

Nice AJ, is that one yours???
I'm still holding onto mine.

ajjohnsonsoxfan · #10 04-01-2018, 07:33 PM

Hey Chris...yes that beater is mine. Just checked yours out...very nice! We're in the beaters club. :-)

I bought one from the Hardcore Pawn people. It looked real. It wasn't. I got refunded the money but not the price of grading. As far as the blank back one for 100k....no way in hell. Dude better get it graded..and even then, if it was real, no way is it worth that much.

Don't go higher than $15,000.- it has no back

That's a really cool card. Surprised the comments are so negative. I'd love to own it.

Agreed. Seems to happen a lot on threads like this. Maybe it is envy, being skeptical or something in between but this seems to be the current status here. Just look at the Cobb BL 460 thread for negativity.

As far as a blank back Leafs are concerned, they absolutely do exist however they far more rare than wrong backs and are 100% legit. I think that SGC will holder them. And if I am not mistaken all blank backs and wrong backs are limited to just the short prints. Sure that Ted and Anthony could speak more to this.

RedsFan1941 · #15 03-30-2018, 12:04 PM

I think Ted has said he collected Leafs back in 1948-49.

ajjohnsonsoxfan · #16 03-30-2018, 12:56 PM

too bad it's off center. :-)

that's one hell of a nice card. Count me in as one who would love to own it. $30k might be right for the rarity? PSA 1's are going for $7500+

53Browns · #17 03-30-2018, 01:40 PM

Besides, who ever heard of Leroy Paige??

I'm not surprised as anyone with a minimal amount of hobby knowledge and common sense would have a card like this graded before selling to maximize their return. So either he tried and failed, he really is that stupid or naive, or the card is fake. The situation with that Cobb is extremely rare I would assume. For every one of those stories there are 1000s of fakes listed with similar descriptions on Ebay.

Meenman · #19 04-02-2018, 04:56 PM

The card is real and I will get it graded. But I am not stupid. I have been selling some nice cards. This card came from the same one owner. Out of the same one box. No harm no foul. I'm learning a lots about cards. This is just another lesson. Thanks

JeremyW · #20 04-02-2018, 05:06 PM

Welcome to Net54, Meenman. Great card.

Meenman · #21 04-02-2018, 05:07 PM

Thank you. Glad to be here.
