    If it grades a 5-6?
    I did just fine.
    If Mickey scores a 7? I will be a happy camper!
    But yeah, thanks. Mickey was in great shape to begin with, but there were 2 small dents that I made disappear. There was 1 puffy corner that I made disappear. 

    The difference between a 6 and a 7 as far as value goes? Just huge!

    Mickey Cochrane is an all time great that doesn't get noticed so much.

    Mickey Mantle was named after Mickey Cochrane.  True story.  Mantel said he was glad that his dad didn’t know that Cochrane’s real first name was Gordon.

    This turned out fantastic, with minimal work.
    Those are 2 dents, not stains.

    What are your thoughts on ISA grading or Trifecta grading? What are the chances that their graded 10s, when cracked open and submitted to PSA, would grade a 10? I watched a YouTube video where a guy SUPPOSEDLY sent 22 ISA 10s to PSA and 21 were graded a 10.

    Would you purchase ISA OR TRIFECTA graded cards?

    I've never even heard of them, lol.

    I would purchase BGS true gems, FCG true gems and CGC 10's and cross for sure.

    I purchased 2 collections this week. One was a HUGE sports card collection and the other was a smaller pokemon collection that I flipped as quick as I got it, lol. 

    I sold more in Pokemon at the show Sunday than I did sportscards.

    #700 on Ebay is crazy in PSA 10. Selling for $500-$800. And people are paying that. 

     
    If ISA GRADING is selling a graded 10, off their own website, am I crazy for getting that card for $200?
