This bad boy arrived in the mail today and I'm really happy with it. A great addition to the set and I got 4X eBay bucks to boot. (On a related note - I have spent entirely too much money on cards this year - gotta cut back in 2015) image

    Very nice Koufax rookie. Good luck with cutting back on the spending in 2015!!

    Looks real sharp, congratulations!

    I've also spent too much on cards this year, 2015 will be boring as I will be cutting back.

    Nice! I was expecting a much higher grade, and then I scrolled over and saw the 4.5. Really clean example of one of my favorite cards in the hobby.

    At a glance that has to be the best 4.5 out there. Why such a low grade, surface?

    Great card with great eye appeal. Congrats.
    Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all. image

    Geez Dan, that's a sweet looking card and quad bux to boot!

    Only problem is that we can go broke "saving money." image

    Very nice looking card . On the surface , its hard to believe that graded a 4.5 .

    Thanks for the kind words, all. As far as condition, there is a very small surface wrinkle near the left border. I actually didn’t see it until just now as I took the card in hand to reply to this thread. Other than that, great gloss and a clean back. Each of the corners shows some softness.

    This card fits in very well with my set, which is primarily in PSA 5 (the Hall of Famers) and PSA 5-6 range for the non-graded cards (all the non-HOFers).

    With the small wrinkle you mentioned it looks about right for the grade. W/O wrinkle and easy 5.5. Great card though, glad you are happy with it. Doug
