re
Very helpful information vinTX, Thanks.
One thing I'm seeing on eBay is this...It is very very easy to tweak the scan of a card up a color notch or two. I'm seeing cards that are ridiculously color bright, and also some that may be more subtle. For PSA graded cards you can sometimes see if the color scan has been fooled with as the red on the PSA sticker is bright red. Others though its tough to tell until you would hold the card in your hand. Any thoughts on this, as its clear this is going on? I guess the best way to buy is from someone that has a return policy.

what I do...
First of all buying from someone with a return policy is a good thing. Always check to see the sellers feedback (if it's perfect and high there is a better chance of a square deal) too.
As for brightness of cards. You can, many times, tell if the card has been enhanced digitally by the things around it. If it is in a slab and the slab, or surroundings, is really (too) bright then you know the card is probably enhanced also. If the holder is regular and the card is nice and bright, most times (not all), the card will not have been enhanced. If someone takes the time to alter the card while not altering the holder, then this situation is moot. That is when the return policy and feedback come into play. You can always email or PM folks on the board, privately, to ask about ongoing auctions if you don't care to alert the rest of the world. And lastly, we had that conversation upon your registration and you are doing a fine job. You can always PM me with any questions on anything and I will help, as I said I would. take care

Hi Guys, I am going to post this question in my original thread. I am still doing my research and haven't bought anything yet. I have now taken all of my high grade cards (67-68-69) and placed them into soft sleeves then back into the 4 screw slabs. I have also removed all my quality common cards from old 9 sheet pages and placed them into soft sleeves then into ultra pro top loaders.
I don't know whether to buy graded or ungraded cards at this point. For instance on Ebay I'm looking at a 1967 Juan Pizarro and a good looking non graded NM+ is selling for $49 dollars and PSA8 's are available for around $100-109 dollars. I guess I have to make the decision of what to do here. The grading I suspect will make the card easier to sell in the future, as the non graded card will always be subject to no one agreeing on the exact condition of a card. So for approx $50 bucks more I can get the card that is graded in the same condition. This difference is going to add up significantly over many cards however. Do you think non-graded cards in those years will be really frowned upon in lets say ten years? Opinions please. Have any of you bought cards from a dealer on Ebay and then returned them within the return time frame because once you see the card in your hand it wasn't as you thought it looked online???? Thanks for replies

I was just looking again online for a 1967 Mike Shannon. Deans Cards has this card for $337 dollars at psa 7.5............ There are 3 on Ebay at psa 8 that are $160/$175/and $210
This is part of my confusion the large differences in price out there by seemingly reputable dealers.
