Pretty Awesome Estate Sale Find - Question about Grading

[vwnut13]

Yes, for selling a PSA 5 will bring in much more then a BVG 5.5

His BVG 5.5 - $975

Last two PSA 5s - $725, $915 (relisted)

I wasn't going to call him out on it. But I appreciate that someone noticed.

I would say the chances are even that the buyer bought it with the flipping idea in mind and paid a premium for the potential to cross grade it and have it come back strong. It's cleaner than two BVG 6's that sold recently for around the same coin. If it comes back, and it's BIG if, untrimmed and hits a PSA 6 then it becomes a $1200 card. Smart flip in my opinion. Safer to let somebody else take that buy in when you've only got $500 in it. That's a good day all day.
