Here are the results of a pre-national (July 16th) submission. See comments along the way.
First up is a small group of '89 Score from the case break last year. Sent in the four best of the stars I had. A 10 sighting!!!!!
In my continuing quest to finish a yearly set, here is another group of 72s. Only a couple of miss steps on these.
The Marshall Hi# was a re-sub as it was deemed trimmed the first time!
All of the '61 Topps that follow were from a lot a picked up on eBay. This was a 200+ card lot of nm-mt cards with nice corners and clean backs. Was quite pleased with the purchase at the time. Here are the best centered of the bunch and a few of the bigger stars. I may have to send in a few more from that lot!!!! The Casares did have a surface crease on the back, good catch PSA
Two Jimmy sighting here, already have a nicer 7 in my collection, but you can never have too many Jimmys!!
Cleveland time....
Here are a few more for my Browns collection. Mostly some odd ball stuff and the last '79 Topps I needed to complete my Team set and what a last card it was, a raw eBay purchase that turned into a 10! (two 10s so far...)
Here are some, what seems like they were printed on news paper, '61 Fleer Wallet Photos
Lastly are some 64 Wheaties Stamps. I picked up a Browns set on eBay and sent all of them in on this sub along with a cracked out Jimmy that I thought I got robbed on the first time around. The Jimmy I got with the set I knew would grade low, but as I say, "You can never have...". The reset of the set graded spectacularly, except for the Brown & Fiss. (1 - 5, 1 - 6, 1 - 8, 2 - 9s and 2 - 10s!!) (and that makes 4, my best ever). I'm temped to make you y'all guess the previous grade on the re-graded Jimmy stamp which is now a PSA 9!! My initial thought on that stamp was definitely true I think that Fiss is going back someday.
This was great sub
Thanks for lookin'

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.

Can't wait to see how those National pulls do!!!

Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
That was a Great Sub!!
You have some real nice cards & stamps there and a good eye.
