I am looking to find a lower grade 1948 Leaf Graziano. If anyone has one they are willing to part with, it would much appreciated for my collection.

Join a long list on this one and be ready to pony up 5 figures if you find one. One of the toughest post war regular issue sportscards out there.

Just found out that it is another one of the top 250 cards in the hobby that I just will never own. I am still on a quest for owning 200 of them. I started the collection about 6 months ago and I am up to 103.

the last one that came up for sale was a PSA 4, and sold for $27k a couple of years ago. I suspect a similar one would go for more now. PSA has graded 3, I'm pretty sure one of those is in a SGC holder now, and there are a few raw ones out there, but probably not many.
There are half a dozen cards that would run 6 figures in almost any decent shape on that list, and a few dozen in the solid 5 figures. Pretty expensive run to put together, if you could even find all of them.

Thanks for the info. I am up to a little over 100 cards right now, with about 20 that need grading. I did this in under one year. Over the next two years I am going to try to get to 200 of the top 250 cards. At that point I will probably slow down to about 3 to 5 cards a year. I know I will never finish this set, but if I can get to 90% of the collection, I think that would be a great accomplishment. Every card I buy, I make my nine year old son google the player so that he can learn about the old timers.
Thanks again for the input.
