Good grief. Makes all our little collections look pretty cheap!
must have a disgusting amount of money to spend this much on a card!!
1/3 of a house, 2 ferraris, 1 boat, 186,000 blow jobs or a George Mikan?? Hmmm

186,000 blow jobs

$1.00 a blowjob..where, when!!

Now back to the real topic, want to repeat the common comment...wow!

 

[spurlec]

Maybe Thailand??

I hear they're been given away free in Miami for Heat fans and members (and no I'm not joking)

Nice job turning a thread about a Mikan into a thread about BJ's Steve lol

 

[spurlec]

I was just making a comparison... Pretty crazy to find a card so old at such a high grade. 70 years old nearly. Just insane

 

[drsma1]

great card obviously...but a 10? centerings not great.....and that left edge looks dodgey as?

its PSA not beckett hence no centering. card is epic.

Phenomenal find!

Thanks for the post billy, a PSA 10 is one hell of a find! The price is as expected really. I mean a PSA 1 or 2 was going around $2500 a few weeks back. If you think about the premium each grade brings as they increase, $186k is a solid price! Sure does more for me than the $10k Lebron Exquisite Autos.

The cards' 64yrs old, it's gonna be beaten up a little, but a Gem 10, is THE Holy Grail!!!

They take age into consideration when they grade i think, so the older the card the more they relax the criteria. But i may be wrong.
