Keeping an eye on this one. Surprised no bites as I would think that offer might scare one up.

In my inexperienced opinion, I think its less about whatever the offer price is and more so that once you sell your card, you’re not going to get it back without paying more than you sold it for. Look at how the prices of the 10 and 9 have risen, many people who sold their copies back in the beginning of the year have missed out on thousands or ten’s of thousands of dollars by not holding. There is every incentive for the holders of these cards to keep holding. Every sale at a new record price is further incentive to hold onto your copy, hoping others sell before you do to keep the price climbing

Not only 10s and 9s, either! Apparently there are people offering $15k or more for an 8. Only a couple weeks ago they were being sold for $10k. Obviously this movement isn’t as large in absolute value, but it was still fairly astounding for me to see.

Unless I am mistaken, you have to pay 20% on top of the hammer price, and if a credit card is used to pay, 23% extra (at least according to the info I found here: iconicauctions.com/rules.aspx)).

I don’t know, centering looks a bit off and appears to be a tiny white nick/mark back bottom right corner. Seems on par with my 9.

The centering is borderline for a 10 but within the acceptable 60/40 range (meaning that it’s something that can be used against it for a grade of 10 but not an automatic disqualifier for a 10.

That nick on the bottom-right corner you’re referring to is reallllllly small.

Last point is that the difference between a 9 and a 10 is often something that doesn’t show up in pictures easily - any kind of surface flaws.

Overall I wouldn’t say this is a “strong 10” given the borderline centering, but it’s a decent 10.

[jonandek]

I would agree that if it’s only flaw is that tiny, tiny white mark on the lower back corner but the centering is in bounds, it should be a 10. I wouldn’t call it strong but not weak, either. It’s better than all of the 10s that sold on ebay this year. Two of those were more off-center than this, one had worse back corners, and then there was the infamous “afraid to show its backside” card. I looked pretty closely at all of them when I was still on the hunt for one.

I fully agree, I guess I’m just bitter that I’m holding a 9 that looks like a 10 but it’s a 9!!!
