Pick6 - got the 81 Topps cello box sitting here. Will rip 'em tonight. Thanks again. Keith

These came in on the May special.
BTW (insert shameless plug here)- most will be listed on Ebay this Monday night. Username ubidnow2.

Happy with most, though the 87D Maddux is a surprise. Thought it was in better shape. The SI for Kids was a test. Still don't know how they grade these and what to look for (I now have 6 PSA 8s which on the present market are not worth much).

This is a small order from the $10/5 day special.

Invoice# - 4164848 Zip Code - 08225

Pretty much what I expected on the T205's and TO's. Pleasantly surprised on the Harrington's. I had them all pegged as 5's. I now have 4 of the 7 PSA 6's in that entire set. All 3 are the highest graded 1/1's.

very nice order playball


glad you already got your box. LMK if they come out clean I have three boxes left and might bust one if they are pretty! Thanks

Hey SoFLPhillyFan - the Lebrons aren't too bad. The trick, so I've heard, is to make sure there isn't any "bends" near either of the two perforations, the other major thing is the bleeding. Make sure the brad johnson card doesn't show up on the left side at all and there is only the lebron color on the bottom as well. A lot these, when they were perforated, were way off center and you end up with "bleeding". Also, you can clean up a little of the loose paper in the dips between the points of the perforation. Other than that, the back side of the perforations must be clean too, a lot of them lose the color on the back when they are pulled apart. After that it's pretty standard stuff. Though, centering isn't usually an issue if there is no-bleed.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I was careful to buy only no bleed versions.
They were 10s in Brand X holders and I figured as long as they were cheap why not see if they would get at least a PSA 9.
I know what you mean about the back color. Some people bent the perfs too much and actually broke the surface on the front or the back.
Who knows, in a year or two an 8 may be worth something.
