Wow - what a run of beautiful woodies. Was going to make the usual 1962 joke about "men with no hats" until I saw all those Yanks with perfect caps, and Torre with a beautiful backwards cap. Congrats on a spectacular run!!!

More. Way more. I believe if this card goes to market, the term "whale" could be used quite appropriately. It would be a centerpiece for someone with a whole lotta dough.
There is a 1962 Topps Baseball 1st Series cello pack PSA-6 w/Jim Kaat on top in BBCE Auction (bidding begins tomorrow)...if interested in cracking out.
1962 Topps Baseball 1st Series is loaded with star power: Maris #1, Koufax #5, Clemente #10, Managers Dream (Mays and Mantle) #18, Banks #25, Mathews #30, Musial #50, Killebrew #70, Spahn #100 plus League Leader cards.
You’re stranded on a deserted island and can only take 3 CU threads with you…
Didn’t take long, relatively, for this one to join the NNOF and Fergie’s rip thread. Amazing stuff, but the 62’s took it to another level in my book! Thanks so much for sharing!

Amazing thread.
I’m sure you do this for the pure thrill of opening.
Has PSA been more reasonable with grading since your Gretzky Topps rookies got graded.
I as well have never been a big fan of 62's, but this presentation has reversed that thinking. Such a wonderful display you have posted here. A winning group.👍

The 1962 Topps set in this condition is stunning. Honestly, I don't think I have ever seen a PSA 10 from any year that beautiful. Congrats and thank you for sharing.
Looking for high grade rookie cards and unopened boxes/cases

Please keep them coming. Your rips have always been fun for me.
I still haven't sold my PSA 7 Jim Brown Rookie yet for a Hellcat! I think the NFL did a poor job handling his passing. He is on the Mount Rushmore of NFL greats! It would be Brady, Brown, Rice, and one defensive player: Lewis, Taylor, White, etc.

Keep the car old school like the Brown!
That car was bad a$$ back in the day, and still is.

Love that Chevelle. I took Uff's advice and I am not selling my Brown rookie yet.
While I love the old muscle cars I need something more modern. I have owned a 70, 340 Cuda, a couple fox body Mustangs, etc. Funny story: when I sold my 2 Fox body Mustangs I gave my friend 2 choices:
Gorgeous stock 92 GT Convertible with leather, etc. just over 100K, but not the fastest car.
Average quality 89 Mustang GT with built motor, and some other parts. He choose the fast one and wrecked it within a couple of months.
Successful coin BST transactions with Gerard and segoja.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Pack pulled and sent for autographing: POP 1 - None Higher
That’s an absolute beauty.
No need for the other two to sign so Roger can stand alone !
Sometimes triple signed is nice, but not on that one. Well done ! Beautiful!

Congrats on the amazing run of '62s. These are the type of packs that can make up for dozens of duds.
Two bidders will pay mightily for $20000+
Wow! Simply beautiful cards.
More. Way more. I believe if this card goes to market, the term "whale" could be used quite appropriately. It would be a centerpiece for someone with a whole lotta dough.
Gobble.
Don’t disagree, that’s why I put the + sign there
I think you are right.
Congrats Chris. Crazy that all these came from one pack.

It's great you got that 10, but you should have at least 1 more out of that pack. Some of those 9s are under graded.
I've never been a huge fan of this set, but those are all some of the most beautiful you'll ever find.
What a great card. As a die hard Yankee fan thank you for letting me see this incredible card.
Amazing. All of those '62s are just amazing. I don't that I've seen any cleaner, more crisp cards from that set.
Just incredible Chris!

Wow, I'm glad I witnessed this(sort of). A POP 1 Yankees team card from the 1962 set.....the sky's the limit! Congrats!
Yankees Team card is absolutely unbelievable. WOW.
Thanks everyone!! Fun ride to share!!

Very, very cool.

Note: Kaat is centered fairly well.
You holding or are you going to sell anytime soon?
I plan to hold the Torre and Yankee team card for now as part of my RIP collection build. The others I might consign.

It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)
I picked up 5 killer Brady Bunch cards recently for a steal!

Personally I think more of your 1962 cards are deserving of 10's. I would be tempted to crack some out and send them back in to PSA.
I do have a Brady pack to rip sometime
Rip, Rip, Rip, Rip!

I'll post the 8's and 9's.
