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.
But I have promises to keep,

Collecting:
Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
To answer the question of was it what I expected? I really felt good is was NM-MT. I think it's a real strong 8 with just the most beautiful slight rough cut on the top border which to me really gives it the strong unaltered look for sure. The 1955 Bowman is one of my favorites and always has been.
Thanks guys for all the nice comments.

As far as the crossover.....I sent it in with confidence. I put minimum grade 7------This was my thinking....no way was it trimmed, high end all the way, if it had some wrinkle it would be a 6 or lower so that's why I put 7. I'm sure PSA looked at it and said at least 7...cracked it out then said put it in the 8 holder. Someday I may send for review; but no urgency right now. I'm actually thinking this is the way crossovers have to be handled by me in the future.

<< <i>I actually do think it should be an 8.5. It's one of the best ones I've seen. It was a crossover from SGC 88. I knew it was a special card...I literally had it hand picked by Mr. Dwyer formerly from SGC. I told him exactly what I wanted and he delivered.

I think that's a pretty solid crossover strategy.
