Stoked about the auto-blue! Only a pop of 2!

Great card!

I assume the grade is for the auto?

The answer is thats just the card grade of PSA 10
Auto grades will say " auto grade only" on them.
If its both card and auto graded( called "dual grading") will look like the below and have the PSA/DNA statement

His picture above is "card graded' only
Below is an "auto" only and "dual graded" auto and card graded items

Couple of pickups the week of the National.

Got this one wrapped by Steve at BBCE this week - Lynn RC on front and Nolan Ryan on back.

Keith...

You need '56 Mick's sidekick...my '57 Mick. A pair of 8.5s is a winning hand!

Congrats on the Mantle! Beautiful card...

stwainfan · August 8, 2019 7:30AM

Since the one I got back from PSA was a 6. Why not do a upgrade.

LarkinCollector · August 8, 2019 9:47AM

These were all actually July pickups, but I'm far behind on my scanning and don't feel like reviving last months thread. PSA 6/6.5 seems to be my sweet spot for the more common pre-war issues ...

This gets me to the halfway point of the T218 golfers in 6 or better, my third.

Big fan of registry double dips, this one fits both my 27 Churchman set and Bobby Jones Master.

And while not technically an upgrade, I think this Auth presents much better than my raw portion of the strip card ...

bswhiten · August 8, 2019 2:17PM

Saw the original post and thought I would share my PSA rainbow too... Picked up the 3 this week.

2014bestservice · August 8, 2019 6:20PM

Two more scanned. The 1998 Crown Royale series is horribly packaged and Mint 9 and above can be a bear to try and get. Minor corner issue prvented the 10. The reprint refractor has a slight tilt hence the 9. Feebay material with Jeters upcoming election .

Gosh! Three Lynns showing!

krisd3279 · August 8, 2019 9:59PM

Picked up some more 71T for the raw set. A really tough Claude Raymond that isn't horribly OC and some high numbers. I'm only missing 5 cards now, but I need a handful of upgrades.

brad31 · August 10, 2019 7:32AM

10% EBay Bucks and used my $10 off eBay coupon form the National. Love the Topps All Stars and have a handful of the HOFers in each year. The scratch near his eyes are on the case not the card.

prgsdw · August 10, 2019 7:42AM

A great month of pickups already! I picked up another item for the 1933 Diamond match cover set:

Here is my 4 latest pickups for my basketball pack run 1971 thru 1990. The 80 & 86 were from the National, but the 77 & 89 Hoops arrived the other day.

stwainfan · August 10, 2019 1:14PM

My 10th in Bob Gibson Topps base set.

lwehlers · August 10, 2019 2:37PM

I just got another Griffey psa 10 for my collection. 1991 topps tiffany psa 10

Beautiful card! Are you working on any Griffey registry sets?

hyperchipper09 · August 10, 2019 9:08PM

all football. I never put PC, because everything I have is PC

jfkheat · August 11, 2019 3:08AM

These two were delivered yesterday. Both were bought during the eBay Bucks promotions. They are both for sets I'm working on. The addition of the Spahn leaves me needing one card to complete the 1958 All Star subset.

45isodd · August 11, 2019 2:52PM

Bought from ebay. A little rub-a-dub-dub, and it’ll be better than new. 😆

Stone193 · August 12, 2019 11:37AM

This is more of a "found" than a pickup.

Isn't this ironic?

Mastro giving "us" guidance?

JakeR2234 · August 12, 2019 11:51AM

Got this beauty back from PSA a few weeks ago. Pop 1

Stone193 · August 12, 2019 1:34PM

Really nice Jake!

PaulMaul · August 12, 2019 4:49PM

Some 1978 arrivals...

Mike,

I once heard somewhere that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Funny how unconventional conventional wisdom has become these days.

Nice cards, everyone!

Added these two BBCE 1976 Topps Cello Boxes to my collection recently. Walter Payton, Randy White, Jack Lambert, Robert Brazile, Ron Jaworski, Harvey Martin and Ed "Too Tall" Jones Rookies may reside.

Even though I am a Packer fan, Payton is my all time favorite running back. Payton's "Hill Running" inspired my Football Coach in High School to make us run hills at the end of every practice, sometimes forwards and sometimes backwards. The good ole days!!

Packer fan... me too! It should be an interesting year this year. I am optimistic.

Picked up a vault case from Dave (70sToppsFanatic)

stwainfan · August 14, 2019 5:47PM

Shaq rookie.

NGS428 · August 14, 2019 7:36PM

2 for the price of one. Tough top condition 1996 SP. I have not purchased a card with this type of inner sleeve. Card still is fitting in the rails of the holder, but the back of the slab has a film on it between the card and slab. Must be something to protect the glossy finish on the card?? Thoughts?

Stone193 · August 14, 2019 7:51PM

Paid for but not in till check clears.

More later.

It’s common on some of the thinner items that I collect to prevent the item from moving. I like that it keeps the item from moving because the ‘rails’ an cause minor damage IF the item is jostled too much:

PaulMaul · August 15, 2019 1:37PM

My first 4SC purchase in awhile...

remedylane · August 15, 2019 2:47PM

I haven't been buying much. Mainly because my wedding is in Sept and I've been cutting back. Im still about 75% on my 48 leaf boxing set. I picked this up because the price was right and I needed a Romo rookie for my cowboys collection.

I think I could handle not opening the packs themselves, but man, I'd sure love to be able to open the boxes to see who was on the fronts of the packs!!

DBesse27 · August 16, 2019 11:24AM

Went to a regular card show and picked up some Yaz items from a dealer I've bought from numerous times. One of the items was a 1976 Star Market photo premium, but I shipped it to PSA the next day, so I don't have a scan. That will be the first copy ever graded by PSA. Below are scans of the other 3 items, with notes.

1971 Topps Tattoo panel. Obviously water damaged, and has wrinkles too. But it's a really tough item and the price was right. This will be only the 10th copy graded by PSA, so I'm happy to have it.

1975 Hostess panel. Had significant surface issues and needed a trim. Below are before and after pics.

Obviously my trim job isn't great, but I'm not worried about it. The surface scuffs hurt the technical grade more than the cut will. I'll be happy to get it slabbed.

1983 Boston Herald Sox Stamps #31. Yaz is on 2 stamps, 13 and 31. I already had #13 in a PSA 9. When I get this slabbed, it will be only 9th copy graded by PSA.

Yes, I have thought if I was fortunate enough to have a box like that someday, I'd drive to BBCE and open it in front of Steve, look through the packs, take pics, and have him wrap it again.

Epic early Donruss racks loaded with HOF’ers just acquired

stwainfan · August 16, 2019 6:44PM

A good card to get.

KendallCat · August 16, 2019 9:19PM

Finally got to my Mantle 8.5 I picked up about two weeks ago, and really pleased with the card in hand. Knowing that Matty C had owned it meant it was a well centered card with good eye appeal. At the National I had a few dealers and one grading company look at the 7.5 and all suggested I review the Mantle 7.5 - having it next to the 8,5 definitely confirms I need to get it checked out.

Stone193 · August 16, 2019 9:37PM

That's quite an assortment Keith.

Does the 8.5 have any chance at a 9?

Well done my friend.

dictoresno1 · August 16, 2019 10:19PM

Got a recent group sub back. Had one of the Gleyber black refractors sold before I even got it back in hand. The Blue Judge is /50, pop1, the Heritage Judge was a BGS 9.5 crackout/cross and the 2001 eTopps Jeter is a pop 4 (none higher) and upgrades my PSA 8.

Those 84 racks are sweet! What size top loader are you storing those in?
