I just got my issue today and found this nice little bit on page 14...It's from Wayne Grove's "Market Report" column: |

Wayne Grove and Beckett are no dummies. They know the reasons why PRO gets such low prices. |

PRO mentioned in Beckett Vintage

Knows that the grading cost is not added into the cost of the item. If someone is foolish enough to pay $10 to grade a $5 card, it is still a $5 card. The implicit additional value in the graded card is in the "expert" third party opinion of the authenticity and condition (including lack of alteration) of that card. Therefore, it stands to reason that a PSA 8 or SGC 88 card of Joe DiMaggio that the market prices at $5,000 is going to receive a higher return than a so-called NM/MT version of the same card as judge by Joe Shmoe, the vintage card dealer or the highly suspect grading system of PRO, etc. |

I would NEVER buy a PRO-graded card. It's like the plague. Anyone else have some experience with cracking something out of a pro holder ? |

I didn't mean to imply that the reason I don't collect graded cards was because of the incident I mentioned. That was just a few years ago; I decided to leave graded cards alone a long time before that. |

...call it that) to John Hoffman on the "telly". He sounded like he was tanked up on wood alcohol! When he could summon his vocal chords to vibrate accordingly, his answers had NOTHING to do with the question, as though I were talking baseball cards and he was reliving some past event. You'll get no answers from "Beta-wave" John. |

For stuff like a '56 Topps Aparicio, there is Beckett price and there is SMR, and they might not be the same. Sometimes SMR in PSA-7 than Beckett books the card for in NM, and other times the reverse is true. |

When I was young(er) and (more)foolish, I bought a couple of PRO cards in holders. The E90-1 Keeler in EXMT is a midget (trimmed up the wazoo). The Good T207 Irving Lewis actually measured correctly. SHOCK. It is probably closer to Fair to Good, though. Since then I have seen a zillion M116 Sporting Life cards in PRO holders which look fantastic but also look trimmed and short. I have been tempted to take a flyer on one or two since they sell so cheaply (wonder why,duh?)but haven't. |
