I love PSA 5's

Man - I leave for a few hours and someone gets their panties in a bunch? What part of this don't you understand, and are you still on a rant about the 53 Mantle like last summer Crisser? Nobody is trying to deceive anyone about the card, I am not selling it, and can't believe sharing an image of a card would cause you so much pain. You called me a liar over the summer because I stated that I have had offers in the 5 figure range for the card and you said that was not true and I would have sold it if that was the case. Everyone knows I had it reviewed because I posted it on the board. Not keeping tabs of what I did 9 months ago and being obsessed about it does not make someone a liar, but for a poster to be so obsessed about someone else's card makes me wonder about you. Card is a PSA 5 will almost always be a 5, but when I can spend a small percentage on what my PSA 8 53 Mantle cost me and it looks just as good I really enjoy that part.

People that worry about everyone else's business on here, constantly troll and bait people, are constantly negative... find not too many people will like to be around them or deal with them. I enjoy this hobby and collecting cards, but what is even more enjoyable are the friends I have made and people i have met. Not to mention the knowledge on this board is incredible, and several have been nice enough to help out and provide advice on cards, conditions, things to look for, things to avoid... I am still learning and will continue to learn, but the curve has been sped up with the great collectors I call friends now - can't put a price on that.

If you want to dog people like you did with BBCE in your earlier post or myself or all of the other posters at least do it the right way - don't hide behind a screen name or alt.

Ok. So you just forgot that you had it reviewed or didn't show it around the National?

Sorry, I don't buy it. I think you know exactly what you are doing.

Yep - you got me. I posted a photo of a PSA 5 card in a PSA 5 card thread from my personal collection that is not for sale or being sold anywhere. I must have some nefarious motive for dong that. I mean who posts a photo of a card that matches the thread title?

Wonder if PSA will grade this for me. I will make "someone" a really good deal on it with free shipping!

I thought everyone in these boards were already in the same clique, now I find there is a clique within a clique ... I am pissed off !!!!

That has to be one of the nicest 4's I've seen. Perhaps a wrinkle in the back helps explain it?

? Muffins? Huh?

It is so funny that you guys choose to attack the poster who pointed out that someone misremembered that he took a potentially 5 figure card to the National and had it reviewed.

1954 can feel me - he knows the owner knows what he's doing. I'd want to buy it too if I needed it

You still on here whining and crying about the 53 Mantle card? I cannot believe the nerve of these posters attacking someone because they are still crying and stalking a 53 Mantle card that they don't own, is not for sale, and was posted in a thread about PSA 5 cards and oh my gosh - the card is a PSA 5!!

Seems to me and everyone else that nobody cares if I took it to the 2014, 2015, 2016 National, Sun Times, Fanattics, local flea market... had it reviewed, or did not have it reviewed, lied my butt off, did not remember, made an honest mistake... It is not your card, and the whole card market is just a bubble anyways and going to crash so who cares?

I have never met you before and you have not seen the card since it was only shown to a couple of good friends who are dealers at the National and you were not there. Just like you said I took it to the 2015 National, which I did not since I did not have it insured and did not want to risk it, so how would you have seen it there if I never met you and never brought the card?

Now you have earned the dreaded double bottle award

I think Chrissy would do well to get his Obsession trucked in by the quart, or gallon. He does seem very price-conscious, after all.

I love threads like this. Lots of nice cards shown. Tons of great low to mid grade cards that look much better. Some of my favorite cards are below and fall in that category. Nothing better than centered nice mid grade cards.

Orioles - I agree and have started to focus more on mid grade cards (PSA 4-6) with strong centering and eye appeal. Figure the difference in price is somewhere in the 60-80% off range, and by finding lower grades that hopefully look better it stretches your card budget. This has been one of my favorite pickups in the last couple of years and first ever Bowman card. This one is a PSA 4.

JB - wow on the 54 Mays! What the heck did they ding it for? That is my kind of card. Some day I need to post some photos of my Bench stuff - been a fan since I was 5 years old and watched him as a young kid in the 75 WS. Did a complete run of all Bench cards a long time ago, and need to finish my current one. One piece of eye candy for you

Early to mid 70's Rawlings Bench catchers glove signed by Johnny. He has been super nice, and has signed several things for my son including personalized a picture of the two of them. Pretty neat to see my childhood idol hanging out with my son.

Thanks. I actually cracked it out, looked it over with a magnifying glass thinking I obviously missed something. Sent it back in to PSA and it came back minimum size. I give up LOL.

Incredible 71 Clemente - that is a great pickup and for that price is amazing. Great job.

I agree, that Clemente is a great looking card!!!

Donato

Gator - love the centering and eye appeal on those. Awesome group you have there.

Hey hey, something bobbed to the surface!

Here are my two contributions. Both very small surface issues.

Bought this raw for $50. Probably not worth much more than that now, however don't find a need to spend the $ on a 7-8. Would not be able to get one with this centering. Razor three corners. Top right has a matchstick bubble bringing it down.

Nice. I could live with this card despite the flaw.
