2019 • SGC 5.5 cert# 8877280 • BlowOut →
Sold on 10/28/2018 as a SGC 4 by Robert Edward Auctions (REA) to an unknown buyer for $1,680.00
Consigned to PWCC and sold on 5/8/2019 as a SGC 5.5 for $3,356.00
Value gain of $1,676.00!
This card was sold through REA and then given a chemical bath to remove staining on the reverse. However, in the pink rectangle on the front you will see color print stripped and bare paper fibers exposed on the SGC 5.5 that were not stripped off on the SGC 4. This shows that additional damage can be caused by these chemicals. More troubling still, there was a crease in the card that was pressed out, which is visible in the upper-right hand corner on the reverse. We know it was present and removed based on visual evidence, as well as the catalog descriptions of this item:
REA SGC 4: "light creasing visible on the upper right."
PWCC SGC 5.5: "zero creasing or wrinkles present."
Green circles show common surface print blemishes. This card was also sent to me via e-mail tip. There are a lot of collectors behind the scenes now outing these altered cards.
