Picked up a collection from a local guy this week and I am sending the following two cards in tomorrow. Just thought I would share. Two really nice examples. I hope I didn't miss anything on them. a lot to sort through, but these were definitely the cream of the crop.

    Really nice. Congrats

    Here is the next lot I am preparing. Probably have about 100 HOFers this quality, but I have not been able to sort through them all. I will let you know on the Robinson. If it grades high enough I will keep it.

    No sorry... The answer we were looking for was Brian Sipe. We would also have accepted Spergon Wynn

    That Ryan is a beauty. Hopefully nothing has been done with it, and it measures correctly. Nice centering for that card too. Congrats.

    I have measured and scrutinized that Ryan, but my biggest concern is the dreaded min size req. This was taken from a home out of storage, so I do not think it was altered in anyway. I have been wrong before. Cross your fingers. I will know in a week

    I have had several inquiries regarding the Robinson. It is for sale, but I need to get it in hand and figure out what I think it is worth.

    Crazy grade on the JR.
    Did it have back damage? I cant see a single crease and it looks Nm.
    Any back issues?

    Tuff break on the grades...did you still make out okay? I have found many vintage ungraded collections but unfortunately they are usually in bad shape.

    Put in on eBay , it'll get a higher bid than normal with the eye appeal. I'm also interested.

    That is possibly the best looking 1949 Robinson 2.5 out there!!!
  • Beck6Beck6 Posts: 1,038 ✭✭✭
    I believe it has some glue residue on the back. I assumed it was wax, but the collection also had an awesome Campanella that had a lot of paperloss like it had been glued into an album. That would probably account for the grade.

    I still am sitting pretty on the collection. The Ryan came from a complete 1968 set that is all in the same grade and I have most of a 1967 set that I will finish off.

    I still have about 100 cards to send in for grading. These were just the two top that I wanted to know immediately.

    He said there was some glue residue on the back. Irregardless, possibly the nicest looking low grade Robinson in existence!
  • BruceinGaBruceinGa Posts: 270 ✭✭
    nice cards! Hope you will get better grades out of the rest.
  • Beck6Beck6 Posts: 1,038 ✭✭✭
    Got the Robinson back and here is a scan of the back. Upper top looks like some residue. Card has been sold at this point, so no use crying over spilled milk. Sorry I didn't open up the bidding to everyone, but I had a few people speak for it before I got it back that I said could take a crack at it.

    You really should have let everybody gotten a crack at that Robinson....it looked so nice, you might have gotten 5-6 price for a lowly 2.5!!!!
