Hope everyone's having a great summer so far. I used to collect a little back in the day (late 80's when eveyone else did too). Dropped out because there was just too much product coming out. I have some pretty decent Topps baseball from the 60's (66-69) that I was thinking about having graded but I heard that if it doesn't grade at least a six it's not worth the money. Can I post a link to my Photobucket site and get some feedback? There are about 30 cards.

Thanks everyone!

    Post the pictures, people here are always helpful with pre-grades. Keep in mind it is tough to tell from scans.

    Welcome........post away.......even put a link to your cards in your signature ( to edit press profile)


    As far as grading 66-69 cards, you really need to get PSA 8s to make it worthwhile. ( perhaps PSA 7 for HOFers)

    Welcome aboard!

    It depends some cards can be graded as low as 4 and still be worth it.

    I'd grade the two 1968 Ryan rookies (get the gum/wax off that first one before you send it in) and the two 1966 Mantles. Thats all.

    Welcome!

    Nice Cards!

    Too bad about all the dinged corners. Do you have 2 Ryan rookies?

    Yea, two. Had three but traded the third for the Schmidt 18 or so years ago. Mike was my favorite player growing up (me growing up not him).

    Great cards. I never before noticed Bob Gibson flying the bird in the '67 pitching leaders card.
    Collector of 1976 Topps baseball for some stupid reason.
    Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason.
