I wanted to know a little bit about PSA and how benefecial it is to the value of the card. I recently bought cards from 1950-1954 Bowman and Topps card and I think that I have a couple good ones. Is it better to buy the membership or get other people to send it in for me. Just how much is it and are they really hard on the condition. I have some in great condition and some that have some bends on them. I am a young new collector and wanted to know about these things.

Thanks, Thibs
I just sold a Y.A. Tittle 1950 Bowman card for 15.00, would it have been better to get it PSA.

    First of all, are you connected with jrgman?
    Second, list the specific cards you have and describe the condition in detail.
    Third, give us the auction number of the card you sold on ebay.

    No I do not even know who that is. Why would you think this.

    I have about 300 cards im not going to list them all out.

    The number is 5150035363

    Well, here's why:

    1. The Description on your item seemed pretty good for a new, young collector.
    2. Here is another description on an item you sold, and for a new young collector I'm impressed:

    "Old and elegant amethyst opalescent hobnail perfume bottle with ground and signed bottom " Made in Czechoslovakia". This perfume bottle is in mint condition standing a stout  6" high to top of cover x 3.5" at its widest. The fiery opalescent is outstanding throughout the entire bottle including all hobnails. This is the first of a three piece boudoir set that I will be selling, all pieces in excellent condition. The photo truly does no justice to this stunning piece of opalescent glass. Seller reserves the right to re-list if ebay connection problem at end of auction. A modest reserve has been put on this item."

    3. as for an answer, by all means, you are better off joining PSA, getting your cards graded, eliminating any question as to authenticity condition and value. Welcome aboard!

    Thank you but i have to be honost with you. Me and my dad are a father son duo and we both put things on ebay. He did the perfume bottle and has been an antique collector for many years.(around 20). I did the card description and thank you for thinking it is an accurate description. I think that we are going to join the PSA world. I also wanted to ask about an Otto Graham Card. 1950 Bowman Otto Graham. No crease and the corners are pretty good. What do you think about it is it a rare card.
