The grades are in... !! YESS !!

I did a quick opinion on the Mariano, because it looked the least authentic, even though the seller guaranteed it was signed in his rookie/minor league year.
All the rest, i bought raw with a gamble. I did know the autos already, so was reasonably sure they were authentic, but its nice to get that certified stamp on their!!
This completes my collection of anyone who's anybody from 1978 to 1992 ROOKIE AUTOS PSA/DNA - I will share scans of all 20-30 of them once I have them all together. I also have a 1987 donruss maddux psa/dna auto coming.
1992 BOWMAN 302 MARIANO RIVERA PSA/DNA CERTIFIED
1989 FLEER 602 JOHN SMOLTZ PSA/DNA CERTIFIED
1985 TOPPS 493 OREL HERSHISER PSA/DNA CERTIFIED
1987 FLEER 204 BARRY LARKIN PSA/DNA CERTIFIED
1991 TOPPS TRADED 4T JEFF BAGWELL PSA/DNA CERTIFIED
1986 DONRUSS 39 JOSE CANSECO PSA/DNA CERTIFIED
1991 BOWMAN 68 JIM THOME PSA/DNA CERTIFIED
Of all the ones coming, i think i look forward most to the mariano...it was tough...this is it without the slab...looking forward to seeing it in the slab!

Here's a few more...will show them all as a collection once i have them all in hand and scanned.
I have all the steroid kings, all the hofers, and all the future hofers from 1978 to 1992. It's been a task...

You know, I sell a lot of my cards, probably more than i keep, but these aren't worth that much money compared to most of what I sell, so I think I will be holding onto these ones. I also looked for nice clean autos, and have upgraded many of them. The whole lot is probably valued at less than a thousand or two....have a go at it...it was fun.
Here's another peek at another one...one of my favorites of all of them.
