Vintage Submission Popped! 1956-58 Topps -- good stuff!

Sent this in for the March 45-day special, got logged within three days and popped in a week (and I know this is no consolation to those of you who are waiting, and waiting, and waiting, but I had another sub this month that popped even faster than that).
This was part of a vintage collection that I bought out of an estate last spring. I actually graded out and sold MOST of the stars last year (there are obviously a few still sprinkled in here). The thing that makes me absolutely sick about these results is that I sold a ton of raw 57s (mostly SP mid-series) that were as nice or nicer than these and I sold them as "NM" or "NM+". I got good prices for them, but in hindsight, I clearly left thousands of dollars on the table due to my overly conservative grading.
On the plus side, I still have a 57 Brooks Robinson that I think has an outside shot at a PSA 9 and a 56 Mantle that is probably a PSA 6. Gotta get those sent off!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Retired - Eddie Mathews Master Registry Set (96.36%) Rank 1
Last 2 sold for $2100 and 1800!
I guess if I was going to hit a PSA 9 on a common, I hit the right one in this submission!
