  • If it's for your personal collection, then it's a Great buy. I agree with HK, the age shows on the card which I like too. Nice pickup on Mr. Cub's rookie card!!
  • IMHO, it's a great buy - Congratulations.

  • Thanks for the input everybody. Im still learning all about vintage and learning the ropes on grading also. Its nice to know thers a forum with people that ar real helpful and knowledgeable
  • So, what's going to be your next purchase?
  • Well, i really want a low grade 1955 Clemente, I just havent found one in my price range...Either that or a 1957 Frank Robinson RC in a psa 5

    nice pickup, as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and getting Mr. Cub was a great find.....I love the design of all of the early 50's cards.
  • Outside of the (mk) - it's the corners that make it a 2. Did anyone notice the gloss that is still on that puppy? Sweet pick-up!

    I think it's a nice card - I can see the pic really well and that's what counts - for me - in the lower grade - there's no distractions like a big bad crease down the middle.

    Congratulations - and IMO - if the card is nice - and the price is right - for personal collections - saving money and keeping on budget while getting enjoyment is like hitting a HR!

    I just mentioned something about bargains and OC cards in a new thread. For me - if I like the card - am getting a bargain due to offensive things like centering? I'm there dude!

  • Cool card... I think I would crack it out and get it auto'ed and then get it resub'ed as Authentic.

  • I agree....eye appeal means more than the grade, and this one looks nice!
