    '51 Connie Mack All-Star Mickey Cochrane. Picked it up raw on eBay for about $75 a few years ago. It came back a PSA 5 (which is tied for the high grade on this particular card).

  • As far as grading is concerned 2003 was a very good year for me, definatley better then any of my previous years grading cards. I am not sure which would be my "best" card but I got a couple of very very nice cards. I was fortunate enough to go through 800 1994 SP A-Rod rookies and was able to fish out 3 PSA 10's and a bunch of 9's. As far as vintage is concerned I haven't done much in the 50s and earlier but I did dab around in the 60's and 70's in the second half of the year. Some of my better finds was a 69' Alcindor PSA 9 as well as some low pop PSA 9's from the 69' set. I got a 70' Topps BK Hal Greer PSA 10 also as well as some very low pop SP's in PSA 9 and one of my favorite ones was a 1976 Topps tall boy Maravich PSA 10. Those are a few of the ones that stand out, keep em comin boys and if I think of anymore I will list some as well.....Oh another one of my key finds of the year was a very nice 68' Baseball set, I graded 500 cards from the set and got over 300 9's and over 40 10's including about 12-15 1/1s, that was amazing!

    VBC,
    Several members, including myself, have tried to contact you about some cards you posted in an earlier thread.
    Whats up?


    Edited to add: I submitted a raw 51 Bowman FB Bill Neil #18 from Ebay and it came back a PSA 9, which is super tough for the 51 issue.

    Loves me some shiny!

  • I picked up a 1965 topps willie mays at a local shop and it came back PSA 8 (quite a deal considering what I paid) and bought a 1956 topss Mickey Mantle several years ago off Yahoo auctions that hit a PSA 6. Surprised by both!
