This was discussed at great length in another recent thread.

Anyone who thinks this card went low is nuts. 12.6 million dollars is an enormous amount of money.

The card was gorgeous, also.

As to that 7.5, it was tilted as shit for that kind of cash.

And as to PSA 1s, I paid 60k for a particular PSA 1 recently— and I'd do it again and again.

I would say this SGC 4 fits your tilt description more accurately than the PSA 7.5. Your eyes a a lot better than mine.

Gary, you are right: that 4 has major league tilt. The key words for me are "for that kind of cash," yet I'll admit that is all relative. When I train my eye on the comparative width of the bottom white borders on the 7.5, the card is an instant pass for that very serious sum of money. But again, I'll readily concede that to someone for whom that is chump change, maybe it is not a big deal. I'd still advise to patiently wait out less tilt.

There is also a much greater amount of what I call "cap blur" on the 7.5 as compared the 4, which is worth hanging a lantern on for any sticklers when it comes to aesthetics.

I agree. For that kind of cash, the centering should be right on.

Yet someone paid 12 million dollars for a tilted Mantle that was also off-centered on the back.

All the more so. I can't figure it out.

Same one with the toning along the top?

Sheesh
