You should do it. Let us know your results.

PSA pop report indicates (4) 8s so far. The 1st 9 if there is one is going to be a whale!!!

Yeah there won’t be a 10 and the 3 BGS 9.5 all have issues from a reliable source so a 9 is the ceiling. 500k easy when one shows up. There has been a 9 but OC so that’s in the PSA 7 range.

Don't pass out but the first OLY 195 they graded is a psa 6 and oh my lord it was a bgs 5.5 before being cracked and subbed

Sweet Jesus I can't believe it

So PSA gave a higher grade than BGS?? Guess sometimes cracking and resubbing is the way to go... removes any grader bias I guess.

Any Michael Jordan 101 rookie owners or people with knowledge please PM. I have a Michael Jordan 101 rookie that I need some knowledge on.

I emailed your provided address in earlier post, but haven’t received anything back from you.

BGS was a harsher grader at some point.

Crack + Sub is ALWAYS a better option than a crossover attempt in the slab.

Here's an example of strong prices right now on Star. Drexler 9.5 closes at over $800. Nice copy from the first Franz / Star set. Blazers fans rejoice!

Did you win that?

I bid and thought $300 or so would do it... foolish me! Won a couple of others, but man the prices were high.

I guess the secret is out that the Star Franz and Star Mr Z's Blazers (5x7) are hard to find. Not a Blazers fan, but love those cards.

I finished 2nd and was blown away I didn’t win. That was a nice example.

Those Franz sets were all over the place in the NW back in the late 90's...then they slowly dried up. The Mr Z's were rare to begin with.

I got into this card at a very low buy in pre-pandemic pump. What do you guys think, worth crossing to PSA?

Nice card. Probably worth it when PSA starts grading those, but right now that's not one of the cards they will grade. Just the 1984-85 base set numbers 1-288.

Look at the pump they give it.

Nice, so we will get to see how this ends vs SCI's $100k purchase of the same thing.

It already has grade for grade! Where have you been?! This is before PSA starting grading Star cards.

[2010GBPackers]

Oh, man. This sale price is really going to make people angry.
