With the #83 continuing on its path to new highs I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to purchase one of the cards, if it falls within your budget, to get authenticated/graded ones.  Most card collectors know that unauthorized reprints start showing up when there is money to be made.  Anyway just be cautious when purchasing these cards.  If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS.

Yeah seeing prices go up only increases the chances that reprints are coming if not already here and this card doesn't look all that intricate to reprint.  Buying authenticated cards does help but its not fulproof.

Also, the market will get flooded with the cards that have been issued a lower grade by PSA. Cracked 7's, 6's, 5's etc...Like what happened to GreenPlastic. Gotta be mindful of that as well.                The Bee's are coming outta their hives, they Bee wanting to sting you!!!

Fools Bee aware....or you will get stung!!!

The ones I could see being reprinted  are the no #'s since they arn't numbered but, limited to 50 and highly desired, also the glow in the dark.  Until there are 50 graded no #'s the risk is high.  The risk of the black mini x and regular will be very high and the #1 #2 #3 red mini and silver mini you can add to the list.

Personally I would rather have a low grade than an ungraded card when reprints hit big

Went through my book and found several extra base cards

The Acuna Jr cards are going up, too

Notable sale

Let me know your thoughts.  Another one sold for almost 1k more, so this is a steal imho.

I would prefer a graded one, anyway a psa 10 is certainly into the 5 figures for sure.

So if you want to try and get a PSA 10 you can add another 300.00 to whatever selling price this ends up.

I think you are right for an ungraded.  Never know how it will grade but grading cost isn't cheap.  

[Fattcatt]

Since anyone who has a 10 grade card has been getting a tighter grip on them...exactly how is a new person to this realm, supposed to get any decent cards? They kinda have to get the raw cards and hope for the best.     I, for one, feel badly for the gals and guys who are late to the party, but there are still a lot of very nice cards out there. Raw cards. Realistically, that's the route they have to go, there's little to no choice.

I think they exist for sure somewhere and who knows I might find it, I have a close friend I would give it to for sure.  Always on the lookout.

Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) has announced that it has acquired Genamint, Inc., a software company that will help improve and scale the process by which PSA handles trading card submissions. Genamint technology analyzes each trading card in real-time and is able to provide diagnostics, measurements, and detect alterations or other changes made to a card’s surface in an effort to assist human graders. It will also provide unique card identification – or “card fingerprinting” – by identifying the exact card in order to track provenance, resubmissions, condition changes and other attributes over time.
