Now, to answer your question. This is what these cards looked like right out of their wax-pack......

I must say, I’m always happy to see your posts and sharing of your cards/backstories to them. Something about seeing these cards still with the person who pulled them is cool.

Very jealous not only of the cards kept but the experience pulling them. I guess maybe you don't always know when you've got something iconic in your hands like a Jackie Leaf but I can't imagine anyone in the future will be thrilled by my stories of pulling Don Mattingly cards.

AJ sent a message to me through another member. Here it is. (and for the time being the ban has been lifted so AJ can respond if he wants to)



AJ Johnson Asked Me to Send This Note To You-

Hi Leon,
I've been crazy with a work project that just finished up and didn't get a chance to respond on net54. I'm in negotiations with PSA to buy back the card and needed to establish a real world value for the card, which is why it was listed on ebay/net54/myslabs etc. The card was never going to be sold but figured if I could show PSA what someone was willing to pay for it in that grade would strengthen my case. I also hoped that it would garner some controversy (which it did :-) which will help my bargaining position. My position spelled out in a net54 thread is unchanged. If a TPG mistakenly grades an altered card, they should stand behind their guarantee and buy back the card at fair market value.

cheers,

A.J.

yes the ultimate goal is to have PSA (if they deem the card trimmed) to reholder the card in an auth-trimmed holder and pay me the difference between purchase price and established market price. I've got a whole slew of offers that I declined on Ebay and two written offers to show as proof.

I guess there are no comps available through VCP or the PSA website for a 4.5 Leaf Jackie.

no not really (especially given the craziness in the last 90 days). And I wasn't going to let PSA dictate what the market would bring
