The one's I foresee popping up will all have a slight corner ding. Solid PSA 9 candidates but it's gonna be hard to find raw PSA 10 potential copies.

Getting to be the same situation for the Series 2 SP as well. Lots of corner dinged potential fine PSA 9s

I stand corrected. There are 8 in PSA pop report, 4 of them are PSA 9 and 4 are PSA 10

I’ll add that I’m not surprised to see the first PSA 10 get that much. But expect there to be a whole lot more on the market in the coming months. You have group subs from October that haven’t popped.

Thanks for the breakdown. Its a beautiful card that I wouldn't mind picking up.

Alright, done with the Acuna hunting on my end. Gobbled this up:

For $40 delivered. Shocked since they hadn't been that cheap since late July if my memory serves correctly. Looks to be in mintish condition. Maybe some absolute hairline stuff but I've seen worse on chrome cards. Bear in mind I don't grade anymore so it will stay raw in the PC which will end for now at a round 25 cards. Good ending to finally grab the S2 flagship.

Nice . I got one for $55 and thought I did well at the time

I think these are really underrated as well.

If you look at the pop of 2018 Heritage Judge Blue name errors, it has one of the lowest PSA 10 pops of all variations.

The Acuna currently has a PSA 10 pop that is 1/10th that of the Action Variation. Good photo, rare heritage. Most raw copies are really O/C. Not sure why this one hasn't taken off yet.

because it looks like the white letter, which looks like the base

Likely an obvious answer to this, but how do you tell the difference between a base gold label and black parallel when looking at eBay photos? Is there something on the back? Seems hard to tell from front photos alone

This is the Black: has black diagonal lines and black all around the "Class 1" writing.

This is the base: everything mentioned above is gray not black.

Boom.
I honestly was thinking I would be lucky to get a 9 with surface being so tough on these clear acetate cards.
Going to get it slabbed as well.

Congrats! A gem mint Acetate will probably end up as pop 1

Wowza. #Epic

Slab it and keep it. It’s a treasure of a hopefully great player.

That guy got a few people! He had two update golds up for reasonable bins but he was using an image from a completed listing while stating you receive the exact card pictured

I didn't end up buying them because it seemed fishy, but they sold and then he listed another one the same day, he definitely had zero in reality

How do they measure centering on a card like this?

$200 or so would be a shot in the dark guess. These inserts parallels can have a wide range of value depending on the buyer.
