    colebear,

    I will try to attach the Partridge Meats Johnny Bench again.

    There have only been a few of these graded and I believe mine is still the highest. You see raw examples pop up from time to time but they are extremely hard to find in top shape due to the flimsy card stock. I would think a psa 7 would fetch about $200 or more.

    colebear,

    I will try to attach the photo of the Partridge Meats Johnny Bench again.

    There have only been a few of these graded. I believe mine is still the highest. You see these come up for sale raw every once in a while, however, they are extremely hard to find in top shape due to the flimsy card stock. I think if you had one graded a psa 7 that it would fetch a couple hundred dollars.

    Been a slow couple of months, with money going towards our summer trips I have to cut back. Did pick up this for cheap:

    I've picked up few new Will Clark items lately. Here we go...

    1993 Topps Black Gold Certified Winner A/B/C/D.

    2005 UD Heroes auto/jersey/15. I now have each of the five cards in this set. I only need three more autos to have every auto that's /5 or greater!

    1996 Leaf Autos (Silver and Gold)

    I've got a few more to scan tonight...

    Here are two more interesting Will Clark items.

    image

    This is a 1989 San Francisco bus schedule. It opens up to show the Giants home schedule and tells you how to take the bus to the 'stick. I think it's pretty cool, and I can't imagine there are many that survived.

    image

    Here's a 1992 NewSport. These were produced in France, and it's a thicker paper, but not quite a card. I didn't realize they were this large (a little larger than two cards), and they're fairly tough to find. There were several sports included in the set, including football, I believe.

    I imagine customer service would not know for certain, so I'll ask you guys. Will PSA authenticate this?... 10x14" print, from a 1950s NYC tribute dinner event.

    I'm not sure, as I don't see any autographs to authenticate. Are you looking to simply get the photo authenticated?

    ajw, I now know it's genuine... Just looking for some peace of mind for the grandkids. I know GAI does 'em, but I'm no longer a big fan.

    Sorry, I can't help you out but that's a fantastic photo image

    Edited to add: Bet if you sent it to this guy, you can get it autographed image

    These came in the mail today, not a big deal but I always wanted them when I was 10. The Strawberry's, Gooden, Grace, and Puckett are part of my continuing quest to acquire 80's stars rookies and 2nd year cards.

    The Johnson/Bird rookie PSA 8 was a low end snipe of $80 that I was surprised I won. It was a live auction and I think that most ebayers avoid these.

    The Puckett was a purchase from 4sc and I am disappointed with the centering. I guess that furthers the argument that 4sc gets preferential treatment. image

    Uff da.

    You're right . . . not the greatest centering.

    Nice cards, though! Enjoy 'em.

    This thread needs a bump...

    << <i>Thats a steal on the Bird/ Magic >>



    Yeah I was quite happy with it, I am not sure if I am going to keep it or throw it in my store. I really only have one basketball card and this is it. I always wanted one, but I really wanted a PSA 9. If I can triple my money I will surely sell it.

    This carter is another 80's-90's star rookie card for my personal collection. Growing up this was one of my favorite cards. This is probably my favorite poses. It always interests me to wonder what players are thinking in these photos where they are looking at the camera and posing. Anyways here it is!! Unfortunately a little off o/c, but I guess it qualifies for a gem mint slab.

    Same here. Mostly prewar HOFs (all sports) and Blacksox. Recently began slabbing some modern big guns. ADHD prevents set builds. image

    Great looking Bowman's! The Finks is awesome looking! One thing that I often wcrry about is trimming. For instance, look at the gap in the Pihos, where there is none in the Finks. I have several like that. I am not pointing it out to be critical...I am to ask you if this is common in your experiences? Do many of you guys see variation in card size in the bowman issues?

    That's a good observation. I have noticed these size differences before, but never really saw any that I thought were due to trimming. Both the 1951 Bowman Baseball and Football issues definitely have slight variations in size. The Pihos is definitely the shortest one I own, though. I'll have to take a look at it again in person when I have a chance this week and compare it to the others. The only thing is it's going to be real tough (maybe impossible) to tell if it's trimmed with it being in the holder.

    It seems the vast majority of the time, though, 1951 Bowmans should fit into their PSA holders pretty snug (like the Finks).

    Edited to add:

    Here's a scan of one that has a little space in the holder:

    I have several graded cards that seem to veary in size. Some of my 77s BB are slightly different in size though graded PSA 9s and also I have recently purchased some PSA 9s 83 Donruss BB and noticed that one card was slightly smaller in size to the rest.

  • I picked this up today. It should display nicely with some of my Pete Rose items. The PSA 1 grade is due to the back.

    I just completed a trade with a board memeber for 34, 55 All America Football cards. 31 are graded by PSA and these 3 by SGC. I would like to stay with PSA so I am offering these 3 cards to trade for some PSA graded cards from the 55 AA set. If anyone is interested PM or e-mail me at twodueces22@yahoo.com. If you don't see this today, I will be gone for 10 days and will get back to you as soon I get back. If no one is interested than here's my newest pick ups. image
    Thanks Joe
