This is the beautiful Gem Mint Rookie card (#193) of Sidney Crosby that was pulled from the 2005-06 Black Diamond issue. It is BGS graded 9.5 Gem Mint. The individual grades are 10 Centering, 9.5 Corners, 9.5 Surface and 9 Edges. Obviously, it is in wonderful condition  and would be a great card to add to your collection. The winning bidder should add $7 for INSURED USPS mail. (Obviously, I expect this card to go very high thus the insurance will be expensive) Payment can be made by Paypal or money order. I'll contact you at the end of the auction and payment should be received within seven days after that contact. Thank you for looking and good luck with your bidding.

SHIPPING EXPLANATION: I require insurance on all purchases. I learned early on that even by putting that I'm not responsible once I've mailed the item doesn't discourge buyers from asking for a refund if it gets lost or misdirected thus insurance covers both of us by covering your monetary investment and my loss of the card. I like the set shipping fee because it allows for a quick and simple conclusion for an auction. Under the new USPS rate hikes, my postal fees for single cards have ranged from $2.47 to $3.37 per item; adding on the $.40 per padded envelope and the direct costs range from $2.87 to $3.77, thus in most cases I'm losing money on the shipping. So, if you win an auction, please understand that I'm not trying to take advantage of you through shipping costs. Also, please note that the requested shipping goes up when I believe the card/s will close with a high price thus driving up the insurance cost. Thank you for your understanding.
