Goodwill had a bunch of junk wax sets for $6 each. All were hand collated except this one. No 1989 sets, so no Griffey RC's.
Cards are nicely centered & many are clean cut with non-chipped edges. Unfortunately, the Bonds does have light edge chipping.

Won this at Mile High been bidding on these in 4s and 5s anytime one comes up without absolutely atrocious centering. Finally won this one - for those who don’t know the card the centering although not perfect by any means is better than 80% of them. Actual centered copies go for crazy $ in any grade when they come up. I bid more on a centered 4 and lost about a year ago. To me this is the greatest Topps rookie being the last card in the set and single printed. 51 Bowman is the Mantle and Mays rookie so have never considered their ‘52s as rookies. Loved the registration and proud to be adding this one.
Super nice example, Brad, and I have to agree with your appreciation for this card. I am still kicking myself for not immediately buying a perfectly centered PSA 5 when it was offered on the Net54 BST about 10 years ago. Still don't have one, but nice to see other collectors (with great taste) able to get that classic card. Congrats!
Was in Walmart this week. I never buy retail packs, but there was one pack of Archives on the self by it self and I grabbed it for some reason and pulled this.
2013 Leaf Legends of the Ring Cut signature Yaqui Lopez 3/4, I love this set because the entire set is nothing but cut signatures and a lot of these boxers didn't sign much. What can you say about Yaqui Lopez, he was the ultimate gladiator, one of the greatest fighters to never win a world title, win or lose he always brought it and threw everything and the kitchen sink at you.
Last day of the month and this dropped from the July Vintage Special. Weirdly, the rest weren't great and a TON of miscut, etc... Drives me crazy how I'm getting more and more of those. Feels like the AI there needs some adjustments.

Been looking for this one for quite some time.

Nice to see that there is still a good bit of pristine 70s material out there being graded.

Picked up recently graded Dusty rookie. Funny when I was a kid this was a Baylor rookie.
How high do you think I should bid ?

What would be the error? I've got 6 of them in my HOF box.
Were you happy with the hammer price on your consignment?
Unfortunately, I didn't win
Won't be here this month. Bought tonight. Cadaco disc is pop 3. Master Bread is pop 6.
instead on "the" they spelled it "tne" on the back. it's about the 10th word maybe 12 th on the back. I have several myself.
Couple Dale cards on the Cheap. He still out sells all the other Nascar guys put together
Part of a group that took advantage of the SGC chrome special. Slabbed some shiny stuff for PCs.
