The Journey of a 1958 Unitas-3 cross country trips

I purchased it raw in Nashville, Tn and took it home to SC. Thought a sure 7 maybe an 8 on a good day. Off to PSA!!
Submission #1-4 VG-EX Why? I have no idea.
Submission #2-Min.size. Really wasn't shocked.
Submission #3-7 NM with ST qualifier. Where did the ST come from?
From a 4 to a 7 but that dang qualifier!!
Should I re-submit for the 4th time?

    Post some picts. Did you request no qualifiers when you submitted?

  • ElvisPElvisP Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭

    No I didn't even think about as it would not get an o/c and no stain was visible. I will post pic when I get it back.

    The 1958 Unitas is a such a great card. The orange area looks fantastic. It's definitely one of my favorite cards of all time. And let's not forget that the Colts won the championship that year. I'm slowly trying to accumulate all of the Colt players from that championship year. Here is mine. I'm looking forward to viewing your copy.

    Agree that this is such a great card. Probably my favorite of his. Might as well post mine.

    Both are great looking cards. It is one of my favorite cards. Both are centered better than mine.

    Those both present really well. Coolest thing for me about that photo is the atypical jersey. You see so many pics of Johnny from over the years with the two shoulder stripes. That one is a bit more rare.

    Dang, you are right. I have never noticed that!!

    Mine sucks compares to yours. But I got 4ed too. Almost cracked it last sub, but riding with it for now.

    These are all really nicely centered.

    Well I just got the Unitas from PSA. Can someone tell me why the '65 Koufax/Drysdale got a miscut? Also got a couple others back.

    Not sure how that Koufax is miscut. That has to be a mechanical error. Also getting the (ST) qualifier is somewhat puzzling on the Unitas.

    I agree with JB. But overall I do like that 58 a lot. Nice bright orange.

    Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all. image
