I just found a card of Arthur Ashe from 1966. Now I need to work on getting it approved for grading. This is the fun part about collecting these oddball rookies.. Never know what you will stumble accross

You're missing Joe Gans. If you're collecting great historical boxers, Gans has to be on your list.

You should be OK having it graded if you take the time to scan every page and email them all to PSA, and then wait for their research team to incorporate the data into their records. I've done that with other similar albums.

Just heard back from psa.. And after a few attempts the finally agreed to start grading the 1966 Ruiz Romero set. Looking forward to getting the Ashe card slabbed

So does PSA still not grade the large Greiling just the small one ?

PSA will grade all of the Greiling sets, specifying each variation on the flip and pop report.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the pop report for Greiling Panama Al Brown is about to increase in graded quantity soon

updated this with some UFC/MMA "rookies" Not so sure if the Liddell will pass the standards to get slabbed or not.. but i really tried to find cards before 2009 when the first UFC sets came out.. since they had careers much earlier. I know the card is from 2003 based on his age and record on the card... buts its not a pack issue.

Crave gave out large trading cards of fighters including chuck liddell to promote a video game around 2000-2001. The also made promotional wheaties boxes but changed the name to beaties with liddell, ortiz and shamrock as the athletes on the boxes

Nascar360

Racing - Jimmie Johnson 2000 Sp Authentic - He has 2 cards, a base #39 and #67 (Numbered 2500 or lower).
