Just got this back from PSA. Disappointed in the grade. What do you all think?

regularp · 03-31-2022, 04:47 AM

I think it's the only one graded by PSA and still gonna fetch a pretty penny. Great card; great set.

indyguy · 03-31-2022, 06:55 AM

Congrats on that! While an 8 might not thrill you, its still a massive card.

montej1695 · 03-31-2022, 09:06 AM

Buy the card in this case... its gold and the inaugural release of whats become flasgship in the industry.

Dont worry about the grade.

AutoPatchRookie · 03-31-2022, 09:33 AM

Did you wipe it down before sending? Looks like a tiny smudge on the top white flag stripe that could possibly come off, and smaller one on the back to the right of block text.

bmf · 03-31-2022, 09:40 AM

Absolutely beautiful card. The USA Golds from first your prizm are off the charts. Super underrated.

blackbears86 · 03-31-2022, 09:42 AM

I wonder if the centering factored into the grade too? Though we know PSA is quite lenient on centering when it comes to grading.

pejc300 · 03-31-2022, 09:54 AM

There's just no way to know without seeing the card raw what might have taken the grade down. Amazing card.

cardrcomeback · 03-31-2022, 09:54 AM

is that a dimple on the bottom part of the blue on the flag?

scotthenrichs · 03-31-2022, 10:54 AM

Centering certainly took it down a grade, also maybe a slight touch on that lower right corner on front?

Exactly.

nstorts · 04-01-2022, 04:52 AM

Thanks all, enjoy the input. Now I have to come up with what I feel the value should be since I decided to move the card

gomiamigo · 04-01-2022, 01:08 PM

What a shock that you are selling this card after posting about it, but not in the 'Selling' forum. I am shocked, shocked.

centering is way off, definitely did this card in grade wise.

sportzluvr1 · 04-02-2022, 10:01 AM

One of the best solo durant cards ever made

kd the sniper · 04-04-2022, 05:46 PM

Killer looking card! Just saw it on the bay

ninjacookies · 04-04-2022, 05:53 PM

Grats on your new gsxr600.

Derekbauer · 04-04-2022, 07:21 PM

Is this the same Durant USA gold that was sniped at 1500 best offer like 6 months ago? If so, congrats. I was about 3 minutes too late.

shu4040 · 04-04-2022, 07:32 PM

1. OMG gold durant went for 1500!??!

2. looks like a 9 to me. PSA is so tough with these now - also lights of room on these for micro surface scratches.

i actually have 3 2012 prizm golds with them now and a little scared

Not sure if it was this exact card but yes a 2012 USA Durant gold went for 1500.

Seller obviously didn’t know what he had. It was listed at $500 auction with best offer option. It sold for $1500 before I could even shoot an offer.

The centering combined with the dinged corner kills any chance at a 9. Who knows how the surface is.

PSA recently posted a bunch of 2012 golds they graded. I saw a good number of 10s.

Where did they post it? On the website or IG?

Thanks! Always like seeing the big golds!

i pulled one of the durant prizm golds brillance i think, from paninis NBA Finals promo YEARS ago, when they were trying to get rid of stock. I just really wanted the promo packs they were giving out as those things were loaded with low number autos with a great checklist. I sold it for under 100 back then...
