Was this a good buy? I just bought it on the bay, Im new to the card market(mostly in to singed memorabilia) and was wondering if this is good enough to send to psa for grading? Thanks

    That card is a tad OC top to bottom. A PSA 8 Griffey (NM-MT) is about $20 on ebay, so it looks like you paid a bit too much for that one (ungraded).

    Oh okay...So i shouldn't send it in right?... I have no idea about this grading stuff. Ive been collecting cards since i was 7 and I stopped iaround 97, but unfortunately its all 80's and 90's cards. I want to get into vintage but being a college student, i cant afford any nice vintage cards.

    In this case, the same amt of $$ would have bought you a PSA 8 Griffey, but if that card is mint with four sharp corners, it might grade an 8 even with the centering issue. Good luck!

    Word of advice from one college student to the next. Buy what you can, when you can. I am very pleased with my collection, and it's fun looking at it because I remember where I was at in my college career when I bought them. Other advice, buy cards already graded by PSA till your ready to settle down a little and you have more time on your hands. Any questions, feel free to PM me.

    Thanks for the advice, I think ill just start buying my cards graded from now on. I also like my collection, as every card has a story. When i was younger I tried to get every single Griffey jr card i can get a hold of but i can never get my hands on the 89 upper deck...until today. The card hobby has changed a lot since i was last into it, so im glad ive found this forum as there is some nice helpful people here. Thanks for your replies everyone.
