Reggie is one of the keys to the set. I can't afford anything over a PSA 5 so this card does quite nicely. Down to needing 8 more.

    Daniel,

    AWESOME job. I think it presents better than the grade. It has been a blast watching you put this set together. Sure wish I could have found some for you at the National.

    Awesome set and the edges on that card belong on a much higher grade!

    I agree, really nice card for the grade. If you get all your other cards in PSA 5's like that one, you'll have an awesome set. Congrats!!

    That is a very nice looking PSA 5. Congratulations Baltimore Yankee.

    Daniel,
    That is a great Jackson. So many of these Jackson cards are horribly off centered but the biggest problem that you see with this card is the "gash" in the right hand side border. There are 12 cards that have this common gash on the side of the card and the Jackson is one of them. I agree that the corners and border are extremely clean. Who are the other eight you are lacking? Let me guess Pepitone is one of them?

    Thanks for the comments, guys. This set is proving to be a real challenge. I started it towards the end of 2011.
    1954: This card does have the notorious gash on the right border, it's not as pronounced as some that I've seen. The 8 that I still need are: Wilhelm, Perry, Pinson, Brock, Melton, Harper, White and Pepitone. Shout out to Mark (cincyredlegs) for searching for these cards for me at the National!

    The nice thing about the set being so tough with centering is that you can find nice sharp cards that are still 5s and 6s. Well done!
