So I get a call last night from a coworker who told me he picked up some older cards while he was on vacation. He asked if I would be interested in them since he does not collect and only picked them up because he knew I did. We decided to get together this morning and he brought along the lot of around 300 or so '53 - '56 topps. Here are some scans of the lot and you can assume correctly that my buddy does not own them any longer. The scans are an overall representation of what the lot looks like.

I would like to here opinions on how you think the Koufax, Killebrew, Aaron and the 2 Mays would grade. Thanks!

    Very nice looking group of cards!

    Koufax looks extremely nice for a mid-grade card, with nice horizontal centering; it would probably be a 6 on a good day and at worst a 5.

    Killebrew is nice as well, but doesn't have great centering; again, probably a 5 or 6, as a 6 it may get an OC.

    Aaron is probably a 5.

    The Mays on the left is a 5-6, the Mays on the right is probably more of a 5 but may garner a qualifier of some sort for the centering/diamond-cut issue.

    Dawg, those are some dang nice looking cards. Love the Koufax and Killebrew rookies. The 53's are sharp too. Good job. I agree with TonyC on the grades.

    Where did he get those cards? He was on vacation and happened to come across a lot of that condition and picked them up for you? Wow hard to believe, those are gorgeous looking cards.
