1952 Berra

Dboneesq

Picked this up the other day for a reasonable price. It was part of a lot with two other low grade 52's that I'll be able to sell for ten bucks each. The lot cost me $92.00, so I'm into the Berra for $72.00. Centering means a lot to me ... I think this card displays real well for a 2.5. I did not notice the crease in the signature box when I purchased it and thought I had a great shot for a nice bump ... it would have been a Home Run. Still, for what I paid I am very happy. Might look real nice one day with an autograph on it!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE YOGI QUOTES: "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

Hi Doug, Nice card... when you say bump, do you pop the card from the holder and send it back?

I had a nice 52 Topps Duke Snider PSA 4. I wish I wouldn't have sold it.

Jeremy,

I have only tried it ONCE with lower grade cards ... and yes ... I cracked and resubmitted. I did it with 4 cards and 3 of them bumped, one 3.5 grades HIGHER!!!!! The cards are on their way back to me from PSA and I will be scanning them once they are received.

Will you have a before and after scan of the card that bumped 3.5? That would be an interesting post.

Hi Doug

Very respectable Berra card - presents way better than the grade and the centering is super.

If ya decide to resub - good luck.

Yogi, Mantle and others go out for pizza - each orders their own large pie.

Waitress: "Yogi, do you want us to slice that into 6 or 8 pieces?"

Yogi: "better make it 6, I don't think I can finish 8"

I put this on another thread this morning, but what the heck ... it fits here too:


A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.

I always thought that record would stand until it was broken.

I never said most of the things I said.

I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.

If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be.

It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.

It's like deja-vu, all over again.

So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face.

You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you.
