Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

New to Forum

Hello all,

I am new to the forum, but not to PSA. I have been a member for 5-6 years now. I have often read the message boards and have found them very interesting, informative, and helpful. I am a lifelong baseball card collector and St. Louis Cardinal fan. I mainly collect Stan Musial, Ken Boyer, Ted Simmons ( The cardinal years) along with some Phillies for my father. I am also a member of the set registry which I though was a cool way to keep track of my cards and see how they compare to other collectors. Additionally, I buy and on occassion sell off my doubles, non-cardinals, or cards that I have upgraded on ebay.

Some of my best personal PSA grading experiences include getting a PSA 10 on a Pat Burrell Stadium Club rookie card on my 2nd submission (it remains my only PSA 10 personal submission). I have also received PSA 9's on a 1968 Topps Steve Carlton, 1972 OPC Steve Carlton, and some 1961 Topps Commons. Sadly I sold off the 1961's as soon as I got them. I have also received PSA 8's on a 1961 Mantle WS HR, 1964 Ken Boyer Stand-Up, 1958 Musial AS, 1959 Musial, 1962 Musial Stamp Panel, 1963 Musial Peel-Off, 1972 Topps Hank Aaron, 1970 Johnny Bench & 3 -1971 Topps Ted Simmons Rookies. I hope I did this right and hope to participate in future discussions.

  • Hey Drew,

    Welcome to the boards!! So is St. Louis ever going to lose a freakin game?? Us Cub fans are thinking about
    hiring Tania Harding to have Pujols and Rolen knee capped. image Just kidding, congrats on the submissions to date, nice eye, some of those years cards are tough to get in those grades.

    Biggest thing to remember in collecting is to have fun.

  • Thanks for the welcome guys. Hopefully the Cardinals will continue to win and win big. I'm hoping to get to see them win the world series this year. Sorry Cubs fans, you'll have to wait one more year. However if the Cardinals don't win, I wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs finally win. I look forward to chatting with all of you, and hopefully I can contribute some collecting insite as well as receiving it. I definitely agree with Scott, collecting should be fun. Best of luck to all of you. Drew

  • Welcome Drew - Big series with the Braves this weekend. On paper the Cardinals are awesome, but the Bravos have been playing unbelievable for the last month and a half without anyone having a career year. Who would have thought the Braves would be in first in August with Chipper hitting .240 and losing the power of Lopez and Sheffield from last year. Should be fun.

    Drew ,.................Nice grades on the oddball stuff ! Growing up I was a big Cardinal fan ! Stan the Man was my boyhood idol and I've always liked Ken Boyer ! I converted to being a Cub fan when Harry Cary started broadcasting games for the Cub's on WGN ! Cub's and Card's in the playoff's playing each other would really be exciting ! Welcome to the Board's ! ..............Robbie
