PSA Cert #:23140585

1952 Berk Ross Willie Mays PSA 7 to PSA 8

Sold on 7/12/2014 as a PSA 7 by eBay seller oldrenbert to an unknown buyer for $491.01
Consigned to PWCC and sold on 10/6/2014 as a PSA 8 for $971.55
Value gain of $480.54


Once again, due to the purging of Vintagecardprice.com's buyer data, I cannot confirm the identity of the purchaser of this card. However, Moser is the only trimmer we know to date who has successfully been able to mimic the look of a 1950s rough cut. He has also showed an affinity for trimming 1952 Berk Ross cards. To complicate matters further, I was pulling PWCC images from VCP. Now that all reverse images of cards sold by PWCC prior to 2015 have disappeared off VCP, I need to rely on PWCC's own archive as the source.

The red circles show common print marks and paper fibers. The card back is key in proving this is indeed the same card. The right and left edges have been roughened, which gives the illusion of making dull corners appear sharper. The third image shows this in detail.
