Logged 2/2/15...Popped 2/5/15 Scans Added

A little over a week to log it but it popped in 3 days. Mostly what I expected, I am surprised by the 4's and 5's as they all were very close when I reviewed them before sending in. The 6's could have been 7's any other day of the week. So be it, I will review when they arrive and see what I missed.

"I am surprised by the 4's and 5's as they all were very close when I reviewed them before sending in" <-- I was obviously at the bottom of the bottle of Jack. I definitely see what I missed now. Lesson learned, Do not drink and review cards for submissions.

    Congrats! Would love to see the Lollar when you get it in hand.

    Got some nice hits there though. Grades all over the place from 4 to 8.5! Lotsa halfsies so they are close to giving you the higher grade but something stops them. IMO there should be LOTS more half grades around. I'll bet that there are not a lot of 1953 4.5 Vern Benson cards around,let alone Bill Werle! Looks like you are putting together a nice set or are these for sale?

    I am slowly putting together the set in 7 or better. Some are dupes so they will be sold, as well as the lower grade cards.

    Impressive. Can't wait for scans!

    I would keep the 7.5 and sell the 8.5.

    i sent in 50 old ones in december and got very similar results. lots of 4's and 5's. the highest i got was a few 7's. no big stars just nice cards. makes one wonder how someone got a psa 10 on the koufax yesterday.
    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    Bump for those that wanted to see scans.

    Wow - love the 1953 set. been going back and forth of starting one myself, but putting one in 7s or better is flat out CRAZY! And AWESOME of course!

    Good for you. These are some great looking cards.
