Time to Gloat... First PSA 10... Edit - Scans

Kurtman9 · November 14, 2005 10:13AM

First the wife asks what's up with the $hit-eatin grin, then I had to stifle a yell when I saw that my first vintage PSA 10 was the one and only. Life is good!

I'd gloat too if I got a 10 on a 1961 Topps card............congrats.

Outstanding!!! Congrats on a GREAT submission.

Congrats on that 10! What would that go for?

And, not too shabby on the Yaz 2nd year and Brock cards!

Way to go! Can you post a scan of the Spahn when you get it please--would love to see it.

at first i thought it was a 2002 Fleer Ultra Jay Gibbons....

but a spahn 61 Topps! NICE. Do you have a story behind the card? (where you bought it, for instance).

smallstocks · November 14, 2005 1:39PM

Awesome! And a 9 on a 1965 Brock too!

MorrellMan · November 14, 2005 1:55PM

Great grades - good for you!!

Kurtman9 · November 14, 2005 9:56PM

Thanks a bunch.

<< Do you have a story behind the card? (where you bought it, for instance). >>

Picked it up several years ago on ebay - looked great in a scan; looked better in person; must have pulled the loupe out 25 times since looking for a flaw; never found one. Just incredibily lucky I guess, and helps to make up for all the foolish purchases I have made as well.

Kurtman9 · November 14, 2005 10:09PM

<< What would that go for? >>

Good question. I have no clue. I could tell you what any 61 Topps goes for in an 8. Since this is the only 10 of this card it could be a lot. Trust me, this is the only way I'll ever acquire a PSA 10 in a vintage card. Stealing from a Bobby Jones quote, it's a market of which I am unaware.

MajorDanby · November 15, 2005 4:08AM

planning to sell it? if so, big auction house?

WinPitcher · November 15, 2005 5:58AM

Great job!

That Spahn in 10 is a great accomplishment. besides being a hi number it is from a desirable subset too.

My guess on value? I would say at the least 2 k Rob McBride would know though.

WTG!

Wow, I would think it is next to IMPOSSIBLE anymore to find a true vintage card like the Spahn in raw form on e-bay. Good for you! That Yaz is sweet as well! Great job

jayhawke · November 15, 2005 6:40AM

Bravo!!

Onlypsahockey · November 15, 2005 7:11AM

Outfrickenstanding!

Not only is it a 1961 PSA 10 1/1 but its the last card in the set if I remember correctly!

Awesome card. Congrats!

coachh · November 15, 2005 7:13AM

Congrats. Someday I hope to get my 1st 10 also.

I would agree with that except that I think (thought) it would be impossible to find ANY vintage star cards in 10, let alone a 61 AS. It was hard enough for me to find an Spahn 8. I'm stunned.
