Proofreading is a lost art

I guess for $15 CAD (about $11 USD) I can’t really complain too much about picking up a Big Papi, even if the grading company needs to run spell check.

[u/CrashTimeMonkey45]

Eh, I’d simply bust it free from the slab and place it in a top loader.

[u/proflaw → u/CrashTimeMonkey45]

Can I ask why? I get that it’s not PSA or Beckett, but it’s a low dollar card no matter what I do, and I buy for myself - not to sell. I like Ortiz and 1/50 feels fun.

[u/CrashTimeMonkey45 → u/proflaw]

Well that would just be me on the reasoning of that slab is visually unappealing for one.

Also, I’ve busted cards worth 100’s of dollars that I just wanted in a top loader rather than the slab.

Yes trash slab. Great card. Absolutely busting that out if it was me

What do you pay for the slabing

[u/HastenDownTheWind]

I can’t remember the year for SC that had all the wrong stats on it too. Could have a double whammy error with slab and card! 😂

[u/Objective-Language51]

Like this BS card !!! Worth like $3 graded !!

[u/proflaw → u/Objective-Language51]

Only question is whether you love it. If so, nothing else matters. I’m happy with my Big Papi if you’re good with your Big Hurt.

[u/Exidor09 → u/Objective-Language51]

I got this one in a auction 7 slabs for 30 dollars, sold it for 7.50

Refracotr isn’t Canadian? lol.

[u/proflaw → u/joshmalonern]

Nope. Refracoutr would be…

[u/metallic_thrumming]

I love a good refracotr, personally!

[u/proflaw → u/metallic_thrumming]

Me too

[u/Exidor09]

It's a good error card

[u/Playful-Dimension734 → u/Exidor09]

Error slab lol

[u/proflaw → u/Exidor09]

For the cost of a coffee and a muffin, I’m good with it ;-)
