    Thought I would grab this Twins prospect. Drafted #5 overall. Limited to 6 and it's his full name, some of his autos are just his initials, I don't like that.
    Any thoughts? Will PSA grade?

    Completed my graded 1956 Topps Cubs set with Meyer. I don't have all variations, but I'm calling it done.

    This was in a Sports Collector's Digest VG/EX 4 holder. Thought it looked much better and SGC agreed with me.

    Congrats on the completion. Always feels good to finish a project. The original Sports Collectors Digest grades were really strict. Not surprised it bumped.

    I remember opening these up as a youngster, so I pick them up when I can........maybe it's because they are oversize that has kept my fascination all these years.


    I love this set! That Gervin is one of the best cards of the decade.

    Nice Bench rookie - congrats!

    Cool, man. I just had a Bench rookie hit today (though I must have missed a crease or something on mine). These were some of the highlights on the 60s Special sub. Lots of 5-7s.

    great cards.

    Here are some new additions that I just had graded. The 1973 Sparky Anderson postcard is the first one ever graded. The Mrs Carters George Foster is just the second one ever graded.

    I love this kind of stuff. I've never heard of the Mrs. Carter's set. What are the backs like?

    George Foster was so cool. 50 homers in the 70s too!

    Way under-appreciated as a player in my opinion, and probably overshadowed by all the HoFers on that Reds team.

    Here is a picture of the back.

    Looks like a “tall boy” or oversized holder.

    They are postcard sized cards. There are only 5 cards that were made for the set. The fact that the George Foster card says #64 on the back it is speculated that originally this was supposed to be a much larger set. The most valuable card in the set is the George Brett.
