Grades Just Posted...Happy

Although I was surprised that a couple weren't holdered, overall I am pleased. The two Mantles were purchased on ebay in the last couple months for about $25-30 each and I had them graded for protection and because I thought they would be 5s. What I am really happy about about is the 1966 Yaz that I got raw on ebay last month for about $35.00. Normally I don't buy raw on ebay for the purpose of getting the card graded but this one looked so nice I took a chance...and got a Christmas present. I also bought the 1958 Snider/Alston at a recent Chicago show for like $10 ungraded, as well as the 1963 #2 Batting Leaders w/Mantle for $25. I thought the 1959s were worthy of 9's but no luck there. The1953 Groth came back a "6" last year and I resubmitted because I thought that what the grader felt was a wrinkle was in my opinion just the paper stock make-up. The latest grader and I thought alike on this one. Overall I got what I expected and am happy.

    The 1966 Yaz was ebay #170043546101 . The two Mantles must have been more than 60 days ago because I couldn't find them on my "items won" search.
  • Great grades and fantastic ROI on many of them, especially the 58 Snider/Alston (about a $200 card).

  • PSARich, I checked the Yaz auction, thanks. Didn't recognize the seller but I definitely noticed your user id. I've seen it many times when bidding over the last 9 years. Thanks for the info. Neal

    The interesting thing about the Yaz auction was that the seller's description was conservative, unlike most descriptors for ungraded material. That 1966 Yaz was darn near mint. My regret is that the seller had two Mantles on the same auction date that I bet on. I just couldn't make myself bid any higher on those because they looked too good to be true. I figured they had to have small creases or something else wrong with them. Most likely someone won some beautiful Mantles if they were anything like the Yaz.

  • Yes, I noticed the description. Nothing flashy at all and now the seller has 5 pages of NASCAR and plastice sleeves. Who would have thought???
