ESPN article about Dominguez, Allen and prospecting…

[gt2590]

Interesting ESPN.com article about high end prospecting.

But no mention of our own JP…

New York Yankees prospect Jasson Dominguez stars in a bold new world of sports card prospecting

Collector Matt Allen dropped $474,000 in January on an unproven minor leaguer who had yet to appear in Double-A. Is such big-ticket prospecting the new frontier in the memorabilia market?

The story says 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. is "one of the two most often graded cards of all-time." That would imply it's the second most-graded card or else they'd just say number 1. Sooo...what obvious card am I missing that's the most graded of all time? I checked PSA's pop report and other obvious stuff like 1985 Topps McGwire, 1987 Topps Bonds, other 1989 Griffeys, 1993 Topps Jeter, and 2011 Topps Update Trout aren't even close. I tried to check BGS but their pop report was not being friendly. Either I'm missing something I'm going to slap myself in the head over or the author was just going by BGS pop report and one of the other suspects happens to have more graded by them.

It's ESPN. I wouldn't put much into that.

For just PSA there's about 40,000 Zions graded compared to about 90,000 1989 UD Griffeys.
