    well, unfortunately, my string of good rips has come to an end. The cards were beautiful, sharp corners, no dings, etc....but the centering was pretty bad. The 49ers Team card is probably the class of the field. The form in the pic is a submission form. I've got almost 200 ready to go out. I may send a couple of these.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I see the possibility of a few 7s in then and maybe an 8 or two.

    That's still pretty exciting to open up a 58 topps pack from any year. Imagine pulling a Jim Brown.

    Both of those team cards looks great. How are they close up?

    << <i>Both of those team cards looks great. How are they close up? >>



    both of the team cards are on their way to Newport Beach along with a couple of other '58's and 185 other cards, left this morning.

    Another cool rip.

    You pulled some tough ones from your pack.
    The Galimore RC is really hard to find without print issues and centered.
    Looks like you got half of that equation. Yowarsky is tough too.
    Last card in the set Bosseler RC is another that's hard to find nice.
    From what I've gathered from the various '58 cello rips, only about 3-4
    cards per cello are centered within 40/60 or better guidelines.

    Good luck with your team card grades. Marconi looks gradeable too.

    I sent Marconi and Bosseler along with the 2 team cards. The Bosseler is a $110+ card in 8 and $25+ in 7.

    Like the Gino M- When I was a kid growing up in Baltimore 1960s 1970s, he had a restuarant like Mc Donalds. He had the first triple decker burger. KFC bought into the restuarant too, so they sold burgers and chicken eventually. Most of the Gino's Restuarant closed in the late 70s early 80s. I live in NY now, but last weekend I was in Philly and they have re-opened the Gino's chain.
    I took my boys there. I had a Gino Giant..like a big mac..it was awesome.
    They also had a mini colts helment signed by Gino for 25.00 behind the counter.
    He is a Hall of Famer !
    I think Art Donavon may have been his business partner.
