PSA 10
First public auction

I know a few people asked for updates so sending this out with the clock winding down.

For those just seeing this.. my buddies and I rip packs while hanging out and watching games. We hit a Mahomes Tecmo SP out of Topps Chrome, our biggest pull ever, and immediately sent it off to grade at the super express level. It got a 10 so we sent straight from PSA to their vault and had them put it up for auction. We were on the fence on whether to list it at BIN with offers or to go auction. We decided auction with the hype of the set and these specific cards being a new SP that people our age (40+) love, figured we’d let the market tell us the value.

As of right now, from just this card, we are about even with the cost of the boxes, grading, fees, etc combined.

We’re nervous! How much more do yall think it could go? Lots of action in the last hour/10 min??

Since people seemed interested when I posted the pull/grade process, here’s where the auction sits now:

First big hit like this we’re excited about (also nervous!), honestly didn’t expect this kind of traction so wanted to continue to share.

Curious where people think this ends?

Pulled this over beers with the boys. And we’re all 80’s kids who played Tecmo Bowl growing up… Only regret is we never got to hold the slab in our hands!

***edit*** Someone mentioned whitening on the corners in the scan. There is no whitening on the corners, I didn’t see any when it was pulled and even inspected under a mag. Our LCS also looked at it before we sent and agreed. I would’ve never sent it if there was. We sent directly from PSA to their vault I’m assuming PSA just doesn’t look at the quality of their scans and some light from the scanners catches the corners of an all black back like that.

PP G&S, shipped bubble mailer w/tracking $5. Happy to work deals for multiple cards.

I’m pumped about these… The Sting is his true rookie card!! Just got these back from grading and have them listed. Some are from the 1987 Wonderama test set (very rare) and others from the 1988 full production run. The company shut down after the ‘88 set when Ted Turner bought the NWA and wanted millions just for the rights to manufacture.

I have more that came back including a PSA 9 and 8 in the Sting, a 10 in the Road Warriors and a 10 Flair logo card. Many will stay in my PC. I also have some sting autographed cards coming back probably in a couple weeks.
