I think this one is a real beauty, the first of my "Big 5" (Aaron, Clemente, Koufax, Mantle & Mays) RCs...

Nice card!

The question on the back - they still believed that in 1955. Ans: False

Very nice card. Even the back is centered nicely and that is tough to get. Good job.

Looks so good hard to believe it is only a 7.

I tried buyine one of those cards raw, well to make a long story short it was a fake. Tought me a lesson I wont forget.

longtimemetsfan

Very nice card.

MajorDanby

paleo..your acquisitions continue to impress me. got this at your favorite card shop?

Griffins

Nice card.
Did you read the back? The Dodgers signed him to a huge bonus based on 30 innings of college ball in Ohio. 30 innings? that is probably 4 starts.

EagleEyeKid

Sweet card. Color jumps right at you,
like you just opened a pack.

SidePocket

All I can say is NICE!!!!!

That's what I was thinking.

Outstanding pickup, thanks for sharing.

bobsbbcards

Great looking card!! Congratulations.

Stone193

Congratulations paleo!

One of the nicest looking 7s I've seen - good luck on the others.

I guess one of my white whales must be a T3 Cobb in any decent grade - don't hold your breath.

You'll probably pick up a few more before I do.

WTG Andy ! That is a beautiful card no matter the grade.

CDsNuts

I think it's overgraded. Just kidding, great Sanford. Should be an 8.

Thanks guys. I got this card from my favorite shop, but in sort of a round-about fashion. Over the holidays I bought two BVG 7s (a '54 Jackie and a '67 Carew RC) with the assurance that if they didn't cross to PSA 7 he'd take them back for store credit. Well they didn't (the Carew was factory miscut and the Jackie didn't make minimum grade -- you can see them both in this thread). Ironically, my dealer had another PSA 7 Koufax RC when I was there in December but I passed because it wasn't centered well enough. So, for those of you wondering what this card cost me: $650 credit for the two returns plus $225 for a grand total of $875.

That looks like the right price. Didn't that card book for way more at one time?

Does it have a chance at 7.5?
