Any cautionary words before I set my budget-busting snipe?

Is the card unaltered? What do you think it will take to win it?

it looks unaltered...optimistic grade estimate. Cost...?????????

I don't know Ramlys very well...sorry!

the card looks like a 20 to me with the writing on the back, don't know how much that is in term of t204 burkett dollars. card doesn't look trimmed but one caution about t204s there are alot of gold-border flakings and owners would color them back in (just for eye appeal and with no malice intended) and that's where alot of authentic cards would come in. i'm NOT saying that's the case here.

the seller looks good, his auctions look good...i would've asked him a few questions for a general looksie on the card and felt confident putting in a snipe.

edit: someone with VCP could give u a price on what graded burketts went for...i remember a psa4 sgc40 etc. last one may've been in the 2k range.

Looks real and unaltered. I would also guess a 20 with the pencil mark or maybe a 30 if you erase it...did I just say that?

Value...the last SGC 20 sold for $3200 (Barry's May auction) but had a TTT back, otherwise SGC40/PSA 3 have sold for $4400.

My estimate for final price is $1566.87.

Did you get your snipe in? I lost.

No. Way over my price point for an ungraded card. Thanks
