1969 Shindana Toys Joe Louis PSA 8
Crossed this over with a minimum of "1" from some random grading company in a "4" case. I knew it was legit but was unsure of the grade. Then I sold way too early and really just wish I would have kept my only Cobb.

This was my first, fall of 2013:
Yaz Master Set
#1 Gino Cappelletti master set
#1 John Hannah master set
Also collecting Andre Tippett, Patriots Greats' RCs, Dwight Evans, 1964 Venezuelan Topps, 1974 Topps Red Sox
Impossible for me to remember the first graded card I purchased. Had to be at least 20+ years ago. Best guess maybe a Vince Carter rookie.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
The first PSA card I ever bought was in the early years of PSA about 1990 or 1991. It was a 1967 Yaz PSA 7. I was mad at the time because I could not take the card out of the case. That card is long gone. My first PSA card purchase I kept was this Billy Cannon. I bought it at a card show in Dallas somewhere between 2000-2001. I do remember I paid $8 for it.
11/6/2016. Seems like just yesterday... kinda..

No pics but there was a group of cards long since sold that I bought in March/April 1999 from Scottsdale Baseball Cards. 87 Donruss, Donruss Rookies, Fleer Update Maddux's, 86 Donruss Canseco, 87 Topps Bonds, 91 Ultra Updates of Mussina, Rodriguez and Gonzalez. Everything was PSA 9 which was a much bigger deal at the time than now. The Bonds and Canseco were in the $100 range, 87 Donruss Maddux was in the $75 range.
No pics of mine, but it was a PSA 8 1998 Upper Deck Randy Moss rookie, bought circa 1999-2000. I was a huge Moss fan at that time.

Submitted this sometime in 1998 when the card was red-hot.
Dig it ! Yep, that’s a sweet one.
Traded for this in 1990, had it graded at the 2002 National in Chicago.
Bought raw from an ad in SCD. Was told by another seller that the guy I bought it from altered cards. Had a shop owner submit it for me.
I did the same thing - must have been 1997 or 1998 - first submissions were my first PSA cards. I joined and sent in my first 6 free grades as follows:
a 1971 Topps Mays, 1961 Topps Drysdale, Gibson and Spahn, 1959 Morrell Podres and a McQwire rookie. All came back as 8s except Podres, which scored a 7.
"All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
I got my first PSA-slabbed card in about 1991-1992. The idea of TPGs was totally foreign to me at that point. The card was a 1956 Topps Bob Feller that was a PSA 8, if I remember correctly. Wish I still had it.
