Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

The first of my three submissions popped just now!

This was the biggie! 283 cards. I expected a couple 5's to be honest as I submitted what was essentially an entire 1957 Topps Football set. I have to wait for one of my smaller subs to get back the big hitter cards and see how they graded.

These were cards I cherry picked from a big collection from a local shop owner..(excpet the 57 football) Overall I did pretty well for a guy that mainly collects vintage golf.

Lowlights - 1 PSA 4 common from 1957 Topps Football
12 PSA 5's again all but one from 1957 Topps Football - the other 1956 Lou Groza...darn

Highlights - 1965 Yaz PSA 8
12 PSA 8's from the 57 Football set - everything else 6-7 range image
1963 Topps Harry Craft high number PSA 9
1963 McCovery PSA 8
1962 Ron Santo PSA 8
1960 Drysdale PSA 8
1959 Sparky Anderson RC PSA 7
1959 Aaron/Matthews Fence Busters PSA 8
1961 Fleer Football Commons - 10 PSA 8's
1961 Fleer Jim Otto PSA 8
1961 Fleer Bednarick PSA 8
1961 Fleer Jack Kemp PSA 8
1961 Fleer Bart Starr PSA 9
1961 Fleer Art Donovan PSA 9
1961 Fleer Jim Taylor PSA 9
1957 Topps Y.A. Tittle PSA 8

Other than that a LOT of psa 8 commons as well as a slug of psa 7's even of some minor stars. out of 283 cards I think I only have about 40 that grade at 6.5 or less, overall pretty good for stuff of this era. Can't wait until I get these back, and can't wait for my other subs to pop! Have not decided what I am going to do with all of these yet, but high probability I will be selling most of them.

    Hope you are doing well! BTW, what would you recommend for Arnold Palmer's rookie card?

    Hey Hookem

    He has this hand cut card from a product called Tiddlers...but they are pretty rare and expensive. Other than that his next card that is licensed to the best of my knowledge is a Pro Set. I have one in PSA 9 as well as a bunch of other HOF golfers (mainly the black bordered grand slam ventures cards, pro set, SI for kids) All graded and looking for a good home as they were cards I upgraded.

    Let me know if interested and I can send you a complete list. They are priced to move!

    Hookem ... are you looking to get it autographed? If so, I hope you are doing it in person. Seems like most of the TTMs sent to his house (including my two) have come back autopenned.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    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.

    Thanks for the heads up but no auto. Just looking to add one to my rookie collection.
