Please have a look at this card and give me your "grade" opinion

I honestly have never spent this much $ on a card, wondering if any of you grading pros can eyeball it from this shitty picture

2008 bowman chrome buster posey auto - eBay (item 150623063618 end time Jun-29-11 17:35:36 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150623063618&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)


Should I just save up some more $ for a "better" one?



Thanks! :)

The centering looks better than most 2008 Bowman cards, that's for sure. I'd say a 9 on the centering. I can really tell anything else about it from that picture.

Here's a Posey with PERFECT centering.

It is hard to tell if the corners, edges, and surface are nice from the photo. To be honest with you, do not rush to buy a Posey auto. He is going to be out for a long time and his prices have nowhere to go but down for now. Just look at Mauer's prices. Save your money, yes. For a better one, I do not know unless you plan on buying one that is already graded. Good luck.

Hmmmm very true. I guess it'd be better to create an ebay alert and just watch the trending for the next few months.


Thanks guys :)!

Yeah I would wait... If your worried about grading on a 100.00 card then I would suggest spending a little more and get a graded one, then you know. The problem with the 2008's is the surface and its hard to pick up on scans. The centering and corners look good but with it being in the toploader the surface is a big ??

Centering looks just as good on his IMO. What is off T/B? It may just be the slant of the camera angle
