Little late but Here is My National Haul

Went to Europe last Saturday, the day after I came home from the National. I didn't have much time to scan and post but I am really happy with my pickups. Listed in order of purchase.
First a nice 1955 Banks
Next a really really nice PSA 6 Aaron RC. Card has flawless printing and centering. Left corners are it's issues but I had about 5 dealers offer more than I paid for it before I left.
Then I got the last big card I needed for my 71 FB set. I have owned this card 2X before but this one is the nicest I have ever owned.
Last but not least I way overpaid for this card but it was the nicest PSA 3 to 4 Ruth at the show bar none. I am going to have it reveiwed by SGC. It used to be in a PSA 4 holder, was switched to a GAI 5.5 holder and was sent back to PSA which put it in a 3 holder. The person selling me the card had all the old labels and photos to prove this story so I feel I may have overpaid for a PSA 3 but it isn't PSA 3 quality.
Lastly, yeah I picked this up before the national but it was pretty close so I am including it just for fun.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
I agree with Doug (Dboneesq) .... Love the BABE!
Never regret what you've spent on a card .... time has a way of making up for it!
That Ruth card looks PSA 4 worthy!
Congrats on all your fine pickups!

super high end stuff you can make money back on should you: need to use them to purchase other cards, extra ends to help you out at the club or start collecting psa 9 '75 topps mini cards.
you own a babe ruth card,
that's something that not many can say.
