Have you ever bought cards and immediately had buyers remorse...

Then when you got them in hand you were thrilled with the purchase? This had never happened to me until today. I bought 2 SGC 20 1934 Gold Medal Flour cards for my Cardinal collection from a guy on Net54. As soon as I paid for them I started to regret the purchase because I really didn't have the money at the time and thought I might have overpaid for them. But I'm a man of my word and was going to keep them no matter what. Got them in the mail today and they are AWESOME!!! Couldn't be happier to own them. I think the pin-hole adds personality. I can just imagine a little boy in the '30s pinning them to his wall and looking at them everyday. That's why I love collecting: it's a chance to connect with another generation. Thanks for looking!

    Great eye appeal
  • Congrats. I agree about the pinhole concept.

    Some people will have glue removed from the back of a nr-mt card to get it from a PSA 2 to a PSA 7.
    I say leave the glue there, and enjoy the Nr-Mt card as is.


    The cards are beauties. Money well spent.

    AWESOME looking cards ... GREAT eye appeal. I think the best buys out there are cards that look NrMt but because of a pinhole they get downgraded to a 1 or a 2. Ridiculous IMO. BUT ... I'm not in charge ... and unfortunately not the one making millions off of grading!
    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.

    I named my 13u all star baseball team the gas house Gang a few years back.
