I find this hard to believe but I just won an auction on EBAY for a 1963 Jim Taylor PSA 7

for $16. this to me is unfathomable to me. This dude was a complete stud. Reminds you of Csonka and Riggins. His cards are so cheap.
Work hard and you will succeed!!

I often wish I was into football more than I am because the prices are so cheap on so many superstars.
Fantastic pick up he was a STUD!
One of the best backfields ever with Starr and Horning. Especially 1961 & 1962!!!
Picked this up back on June 30th for $41.94 all in. Couldn't be happier with it, and it fits in the Hall Of Fame Registry as it is not PSA/DNA.
HOF Rookies are where the money is at, most of the stud players cards from mid career do not command heavy prices like BB. It's great because you can put together a very nice collection of star players for a reasonable price
Congrats on the pick-up. Most running backs don't get much respect from collectors especially beyond the rookie year. Lineman and defensive studs are even worse. Football is all about the quarterback IMO. I did find Bobby Mitchell and Chuck Howley rookies in a dollar box.
My opinion has always been that PSA 7 vintage cards, overall, are the best cards offering a combination of collectability and affordability.
In reality the major difference between a PSA 7 vintage card with decent centering and a higher grade from the 1960's on back, is the 7 was stored in a shoebox, whereby the higher grades were stored in a glassine type envelope similar to the way stamps were stored, or some other storage method, or were obtained many years later from busting unopened packs.
The 7's were perhaps handled a few times over the years, but were not played with by kids to get dings, creases, scuffing, etc, which in my view can detract from a card.
i have all sorts of PSA grades in my collection. However for starting a specific collection and/or "filling holes" in a current collection say a particular year, I've always liked 7's the best.
I wish I had the money to afford those beautiful amazing PSA registry sets of vintage 8's, 9's, and 10's, but I'll have to take what i can get. 😊
PSA 7’s are great cards.
The word Mint is in the description
Great pick up.

It looks like you did really well on that Jim Taylor card.
A quick look at completed auctions in eBay shows 3 sold in PSA 7: yours at $16.50, another at 33.08 and a buy it now sold at $60.00.
I just got it today centering looks like a 9. Nice.
That $60 sale a month ago was for the same cert#.
Something seems weird about someone buying at 50-100% premium, then a month later sell at a 75% loss.
Ron is sound like a conspiracy theorist. LOL!!
You're the one that "found it hard to believe" and "unfathomable" you got the card for $16.

Auctions are strange. Pop 1 '58 Robinson. You never really know why folks buy or sell.
Sweet pickup. Congrats
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Come to the pigskin side
. My collection now is 90% football. 40's and 50's rookies of HOF'ers and stars fit my budget 
Love football. I'm fond of all the big three.
1 - Base
2- Foot
3 - Baskets
4 - Hockey
5 - wrestling
6 - probably wouldn't mind collecting some of the 60's sitcom cards. I don't but seems fun.
Seconded. This looks like a post I would make
