I don't think that's true. Very easy to tell apart imo

That's true. You could just not take a back picture, provide zero written description, and in caps write SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS and I'm sure a lot of people will buy it thinking "At the very least, it's got to be a 9, right? I mean, everything comes out of a pack these days at least Mint" and the final price would definitely be higher than in a 7 slab.

Not taking a shot at you, Sean, just all the people that would do exactly what I described annnnnnd argue that there's nothing wrong with it.

I bought the card on Ebay and it had multiple photos and was described as "like new." There was no description and no "flaws" were listed/described. I find this is how most cards are sold on Ebay that are "raw" and I am buying knowing there are ranges of condition it could be in. I saw the white on some of the corners and thought it would be at least a solid PSA8 and pulled the trigger. I don't have any regrets because I never expect GEM MT cards when buying "raw" So if anything you would be taking a shot at the person who sold it to me.

Good thing I am not all people (still have not sold a single card). Not planning on selling this card anytime soon either. Just wanted to get advice if it was better to grade and hope for a PSA8 or just to keep raw.

I promise if I ever do sell it on Ebay I won't take a grainy picture of the just the front with no back picture with the caption "PSA 10?"

Finally pulled the trigger on an 18’ pro debut parallel! Been looking for months for a nice raw copy but gave up this morning and overpaid for the slab.

And, the reason I don’t own the sunglasses sp

Regular chrome is a much harder gem. Now that you mention that, I’m not sure if I would trade my chrome 9 for a sapphire 9 but objectively, it’s probably the right play.

Your pictures are of a base sapphire and a orange sapphire.

I also said I prefer the regular Sapphire to the Orange version. The Sapphire design is more readily apparent in the regular version. The difference between a regular Chrome and Sapphire is more apparent than for an orange chrome and a Sapphire chrome.

I don't know what made you think I was speaking to that when I posted two oranges.

Anyway, sure, subjective I guess.

It's all part of the same argument.

Man, Nail biting time.

I sent a Topps Chrome Rookie Auto Blue into BGS in mid October on 10 day service. New one popped in today as a 9.5/10 in the pop report.

Dear lord let it be mine.

Thats going to be another beauty. Can't wait to see it!

jasonm2121 · 02-09-2021, 06:49 PM

Does 10 day service seriously take 4 months?

Gwynning · 02-09-2021, 08:14 PM

Jaw dropping collection here, just amazing. I'm taking notes! Here's my 1st tribute. I know a lot of people moan when they see Chronicles but I like this because I pulled this myself and I think the Sandwich company chose a decent photo to hide the obvious.

I agree, that's a really sharp card.
