Yes i might be in the minority but I am proof that there isn't always a bad reason why someone sells raw.

90% of the raw cards I buy or mint to gem mint in the last 4 years. I bought raw bat down acunas when they were at $70-$100 was in an easy 10 the other a 9 with slight white in the left-hand corner. I don't grade because of the hassle and getting switch out a grading group. I bought graded cards in worse condition the raw cards.I agree with 100%.

This Bats Down has a white mark to the right of the RC logo. Do you think it is worth grading and which grade do you think it comes back with? Obviously the surface grade for BGS would be low, but the other attributes of the card look good.

I would think PSA 8 range if everything else looks good.

Thanks. What about BGS? It might be worth it to go that route if it comes back with 3 good scores.

I sent one in with a similar mark, a round area of the surface picture was missing/scratched off and it got a 9. I was shocked

I think it moved... it definitely moved

[TheWrightStuff]

So, what did that card sell for right after it came out?

This card is probably the poster child of high end cards when it comes to "possibly altered". For that reason, I think the old cert and provenance (and the fact that 312 vetted the card prior to purchase) actually makes the card much more desirable as it sits. The provenance is iron-clad. For me, this card hits the trifecta of great grade + great patch + great provenance...and IMO can't do much better than that.

I like this. Great thinking on your part. I think you made the right choice keeping it as it is.

Actually, all over. Bat Down, Tranny, and Sapphire were from eBay. Camo was on IG. Foilboard was on Facebook, and the Blue TC auto was bought here on BO.
