@Odessafile said: @Dand522612 ~ Thanks!...I got it a bit ago and just got it reholdered...feels like a brand new card with new Emblem...gotta say the new holder is really a much better foot forward for PSA.... ITs far more elegant with just the colorful emblem alone.
honestly, I would rather pay a little more for a card in the lighthouse label when buying on ebay vs the old holder. I love them. here was my mail day yesterday.
I bit my tongue on the "Collecting goals for 2018" thread because I didn't want to jinx my chances at acquiring some upgrades to my Bob Lilly basic and master sets in 2018. I was very fortunate to land both of these, one arrived yesterday and the other today. The purchase experience for each was totally different. For the 1963 it was months of back and forth negotiations. For the 1971 I emailed the seller and bang, deal was done. Funny how that goes sometimes...
The 1963 is so tough - no 10's and nine 9's. There was a 9 graded last summer - I'd love to see what it looks like as I'm tickled with this 8.5:

thanks. yea, I don't mind paying a little higher just to have it vs even the previous gen holo label. its almost like the slabs feel thinner even though they aren't.

Wow!!! That 63 Lilly and 71 are stunning. Congrats.
My latest sub returned home today. Here are the ones that I didn't post in my two other break threads. Overall pretty happy. The Eichel YGs Exclusive is now a Pop 4 and I subbed and still have two of them. Even though I hate the Leafs Matthews is an US born player and a local product too so I figured I had to get one of his YGs. The Global Chirography at least makes me feel better with the Stars and Stripes on it. Kind of wish that was the 10 instead.
My manager was Rogers Hornsby and he called me a talking pile of pig shlt and that was when my parents had driven all the way down just to see me play the game! And did I cry? No! Do you know why?

Just found the film on Ovation, saw that scene 5 minutes ago.
Love it
Looking to have some custom cuts or plain custom cards built? PM me.
I agree those 1952s are stunning. They present perfectly. I love paging through old sets and finding noteworthy stats— for good or bad performances, lol. Appreciate the write-ups.
Had these two new additions on the desk all day. I am so impressed with the patch card. It reminds me of Paul Allen's business card, the subtle, tasteful thickness of it.
@linunxabuser said: @Dand522612 Nice card! I think the ding in the side by Hank's left sleeve will prevent it from getting an 8
Thanks, yes saw that and one corner appears a bit weak. Maybe send in for review with minimum grade of 7? 7.5? I like it no matter what as it presents well.
You decide against the review since it is up on Ebay again?
Debating, I really like the card and it is in the 7-7.5 8 land. Something else did come up that I am interested in and need to sell a few items. If it does not sell for what I want/need then yes it will take a trip out west.

Depends on the subs. With all subs above 9.5 and with (2) 10's I think the BGS 9.5 is more valuable than a PSA 10. If subs were 9's and 9.5's I would say a PSA 10. I bought this in a private sale and paid more than a BGS 9.5 average price, but IMO it is worth it - .5 away from a BGS 10.

I think with 2 access points that seem relatively possible (.5 away), this is a must review for BGS to see if you can slide in the 10. I mean seriously who could tell the difference between 9.5 and 10 on one subgrade 4 out of 5 times. Try it.
I now have the starting lineup for the 1972 Cubs and a few of the starting pitchers. This was a decent Cubs team that went 85-70 but took 2nd place. The Pirates took first.
Continuing on with my 1969 Football Set. It took me a long time to find a card of Craig Morton that I liked. I didn't realize that every one of his 1969 cards (I think all of them) have this red line that runs through his face. I've never seen one that doesn't have this flaw. I thought this PSA 7 was nicely centered.
great stuff men. great to see the different collecting interests.
these are technically from December but wanted to share since I have not been buying much lately. Super tough set and the singles are rarely offered for sale. My set is about 50% complete and nice to add 4 HOFers in 1 shot

Nice cards! I agree, I've never seen one that did not have the print line. I had a PSA 9 and raw copy that both had it.
These are from this past week. Although I largely target centered cards for this set, sometimes I sacrifice on the centering in favor of nicer corners and a clearer picture while still keeping the cost down by going lower grade. This Ted Williams card struck me due to the especially clear and focused image of Ted's face. I haven't seen that very often with this particular issue.

Not for nothing but Larry Doby had more 100 RBI seasons than Mickey Mantle...5 to 4.

That's a really good looking card Steve.
So close to a 9 buddy.
This goes right into my 1969 football collection. A clean and centered PSA 9 of this linebacker from the Doomsday Defense.
Very nice Edwards. Love the Cowboy Joe logo on those 69s. Congrats!

More Judge pick ups from the weekend. Loving the 80's throwbacks
I picked up 2 more 52Ts - nicely centered - tough IMO.
Jack Phillips - Pirates
9 years in the MLs - Pitt, NY and Detroit - lifetime .283 BA, 9 HRs.
Did get a few ABs in the '47 WS with the Yanks - unfortunately 0 for the series.
Walt Dropo - Boston
13 yr career - starting with Boston and ending with Baltimore - well travelled with nice stats - .270 lifetime BA, 152 HR's.
1950 AL ROY, and AS.
Mike, those are two incredibly nice looking 52's. Well done!! Congrats.
Stone those 52s are nothing short of mesmerizing

Beautiful 52' Topps cards Mike. Very nice!!
Added a Yankee slugger this week.
@KendallCat ~ question.....Would u rather have this gorgeous card in the holder you have it in(BGS 9.5) or in a PSA GEM MINT 10 holder?
Depends on the subs. With all subs above 9.5 and with (2) 10's I think the BGS 9.5 is more valuable than a PSA 10. If subs were 9's and 9.5's I would say a PSA 10. I bought this in a private sale and paid more than a BGS 9.5 average price, but IMO it is worth it - .5 away from a BGS 10.

That is the plan at the Natty - worth getting it reviewed and if one of those 9.5's becomes a 10
I now have the starting lineup for the 1972 Cubs and a few of the starting pitchers. This was a decent Cubs team that went 85-70 but took 2nd place. The Pirates took first.
I haven't bought many cards in the last few weeks. I did upgrade and/or add these to sets I'm working on.

Good to see you buddy.
Those are really nice.
Did you pick up any of the original artwork on those?
Refresh my memory. Wasn't this set more of a "test" set?
