I pulled one today from a loose jumbo box. It looks pretty damn good, with a 75%+ chance of grading out.

Or are you selling ASAP with the thought that prices will dip?

Worth the time risk?

From the ones I've seen pulled, it looks as though 9.5s might garner a premium.

that is my thought also....

My other thought is that in three weeks, he might hit the bigs so their won't be a dip in pricing. But, that is just speculation on my part.

Matt, I actually talked to Gilmo on the phone about this earlier today.

I think we concurred that being as there are no other known autos coming out (at least yet, I'm sure they will) grading and flipping could be a good possibility.

If you think it would gem I would send it in with the 2 or 5 day service. You may even double the price as a gem if yours is the first gem on ebay. Send it in!

I don't think there will be much of a dip in the price for the next few weeks. Should give you time to get it graded. But would only do it if you think it will yield a 9.5...

The more I look closely, the more I am not sure if it will gem out. It has one soft corner. The rest of the card is VERY nice. perfect surface, edges are great, etc....

I think I am going to give it a shot, why not. Thanks for all of the opinions

If it will gold, do the two day turnaround for sure, isn't that only $50?

If it will not gold, then don't bother slabbing it. The clientele for this
Card has no interest in silver

My thoughts as well.

Only send it if you think it has a great chance to gem because as others have said, a 9 will almost certainly not bring a premium of any sort to a prospect card from this year.

With quick turnaround I think you have nothing to lose. First gem will fetch a TON. And while I haven't seen any in person, I feel like this will be a condition-sensitive card. Much like the 01 Pujols SPx, I think a 9 with 10 auto may still end up getting more than raw.
