What to look for

1. Graded ROOKIE ONLY. anything else is most likely a fake.

BGS is the one to have if you got big money. Then probably PSA.

BGS 9.5 = lots of money around $4K (last I checked). The sub grades will cause the price to vary. if it has a couple 10s in there than it could be more.

PSA 9 = Roughly $1500 (last I checked)


BCCG is for slightly more affordable price.

There is one of OZCT atm:

older grading, and no subgrades is generally why they are cheaper

Why would someone grade this as authentic but not pay for it to be graded?

some people hate grades.

Also sometimes if the card is going to get a low score like a 7.

Sent a message to the seller

His response

As stated in the item description the card to the eye appears to be in very good condition. To get cards graded you could send to Beckett in my opinion. If you are happy to give me your email address i could send a closer up image of card for you. Regards, Anthony. (i would send photo as an attachment that you could open).


My worry is the very good wording....to most people very good is a great grade...but to card collectors very good is actually a poor grade....

Well like anything, graded cards could be fakes I guess depending on if someone got bribed enough lol. But the chance of that is less than 1%.

Essentially it is your best chance of getting an authentic product.

Hence why I listed BGS, PSA, BCCG as your best options as they are the most widely accepted by people.

Thanks mate....I understand what you were saying....obviously the big grading companies are my best bet...

I was just referring to the sellers message that the condition is 'very good'....in normal terms this is good but to a card collector 'very good' is not really a good grade....

Thanks for the advice....

well everything is subjective. Only way you will know is if he send you higher res scans and you look at it yourself and decide if you like it or not.

And if you decide it is not good enough then your only alternative may be to bite the bullet and save a bit longer and pay $650-$800 for one which is better.
