Fair inverse; probably I was subconsciously assuming Howard wouldn't have sold off his good one and have kept a crappier one for himself!

I have both a PSA 8 and an even nicer BVG 8!

Sooo, might your nicer BVG 8 then be a PSA 9, or just 8.5??

The 7 from the auction looks pretty dang nice. You didn’t by any chance crack it and resub for the 8 you now own, did you?

Aha! The theory is further refined!

Sell the holder not the card :/

I agree that maybe you cracked it out and resubbed it and it’s sitting in another holder. Compare the images in your listing to the others in your collection.

but, HIGHLY unlikely I cracked and resubbed - I very rarely do that. I think one of the 2 possibilities mentioned here is likely - 1 - it is somewhere here waiting to be found or 2 - I accidentally shipped it as a different card somewhere in the past.
As far as the BVG 8 - the way PSA is grading these days I would offer an educated guess that it would come back between a PSA 1 and a PSA 9. So sick of the subjective inconsistency. Seems like they highest grade they give to mint bazooka boxes these days is a PSA 5!
