Absolute BEAST card available...MUST SEE!!!

[IlDuce]

I picked this up recently, and to be perfectly honest, it might just be too much card for me. By that, I mean, most of my collection lies in the $5-$50 BV range...While this card is closer to the $1000-$2000 range. I think I may be happier if I move it for a few cards that are closer to my comfort zone.

That's right, I'm actually willing to trade down on this 1954 Topps Ernie Banks RC!!!

Although I love how historically relevent and beautiful this card is, I think I would have a lot of fun filling up my Photobucket with tradebait, thus affording me endless hours of trading enjoyment.

I have absolutely no particular wants in return. I would have interest in the wants in my signature, Superstar Autographs, Other Vintage RCs, HOF Autographs, Big-time prospects, Autographed memorabilia, HOF Autographs, just about anything.

Now obviously, I'm not going to trade it for 1000 $1 cards, and I'm not in a hurry to trade it, so if I don't get an offer I like, I'll just keep it and send it in for grading. Also, I would much rather trade it, but if you'd like to try to blow me away with a cash or Paypal offer, feel free to PM me.

I am interested - but realistically what are we talking as far as PSA grade and value you need?

The general consensus from people who have seen the scans seems to be that the card will grade at least 5-6 if send to PSA, but having the card in my hand, I would estimate it closer to a 7.

And as far as value goes, it really depends on what is involved in the deal. A PSA 6 seems to have a sell value of around $500+. But, I would look for more or less depending on how much I like the items I'd be receiving. I suppose, as with Ebay, it's worth what somebody is willing to trade for it. Some folks might give up $1250 BV, while others might cap their offer at $750. It's really up to the individual, and in the end, I'm going to take the deal that is best for me.

54 is all about centering - you're looking at a $400 value difference if you get an (OC) grade from PSA

Very true...But based on the examples I've found while researching this card, that is highly unlikely for this one. I've seen many many copies of this card which were graded by PSA, with centering worse than this one, which did not receive OC grades.

The front looks good how is the centering onthe back side of the card. Check my tradesite not to much there but a few high ends remain.

Thanks

There's a nice, big scan of the back of the card in my bucket.

Anyone else want to put an offer in?

[IlDuce]

I'm likely to decide upon an offer late tonight, so get one in while you still can.

[IlDuce]

I'll be choosing my favorite offer at Midnight EST tonight...

If you'd like to get an offer in before then, please do so ASAP.

Thanks!
