    Good approach, beautiful card. I sold my slightly tilted PSA 7 a few years ago and still regret it. lol

    Picked up this 75 bb wax pack tray at HA Auctions july 12
    I like the fact it has the price sticker on it still, but I do not like the 2 small holes in the middle pack,

    Oh Wow... That's Pretty Cool 👍 👍 👍

    @KendallCat When I look at those it just reinforces my opinion that grading standards have gotten a lot harder. Unless there are surface wrinkles not apparent on the scans, I’d put the Bench more like a 6 and the Ryan between a 7 & 8. So I’d say those are super-nice for grade.

    @paulb71 I definitely saw a similar grocery tray on the dealer’s table. Tho his may have been 79T I gave it a look but I know myself well enough to know I’d have cracked it. And while I didn’t ask a price, I was pretty sure it’d be too much for that. 😀
    Nice pickup!

    So full of action, my name should be a verb.

    Nice Williams. The most important thing to me on ‘57s is registration and print. Crystal clear image on yours. Great card congrats!

    Bought my first Ted Williams today. I was born in 1957 (Birthday was Sunday) and since I am a great admirer of "Teddy Ballgame", decided to pull the trigger. Being card #1 in the set is kind of cool too.

    What do you guys think? Paid over the going rate for a "4" ($480.00 + tax and shipping), but eye appeal is what drew me to it along with the seller willing to come down off his original price.

    That might be closer to a 5, in my opinion.

    I agree. There are some really ugly 4's out there. Of course they are much less $.

    Good point, I saw some 4's with bad print spots and registration. I really like the centering on this one as well.

    Seems undergraded to me.

    Great hit on the Deion! The PSA 10's of him, Barry, and Troy are very expensive.

    Balco, if I were you, I would cut them out and send them to SGC, unless there is something I'm missing -- the ryan should get at least a 7.5, maybe an 8. The 1975 looks like a 7. Just my opinions.

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    I'm really enjoying buying 1970's HOFers in 6-7's with strong eye appeal.



    That 73 Ryan is the nicest 6 I’ve ever seen. Must have a tiny crease.

    My opinion on th3 73's is it's the border. They gave me a 5 on a 1987 montana topps uk because the border was a little rough (like an opc kind of ). I cut it out sent it to SGC and got a 10. As it should be, the card was awesome.

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    I felt this was a fine grade for the card but based on some of the grade estimates I see for cards on this forum I should probably be expecting a 7. Haha. I happy in the slab as a pop 2 with 2 higher.

    Love this card! I need another rookie auto with a nicer sig like that one. Got mine a few years ago when they rarely popped up. There's been a couple nicer ones on Ebay since, but one was priced too high and the other I completely missed out on.

    Congrats from a huge Ueck rookie collector!

    Tim O’Driscoll was the official scorer for the Brewers and taught AP US History at my highschool my junior year. My dad also had season tickets at the old County Stadium on the mezzanine which was great. Long story short I was able to meet Uecker a handful of times and never thought to get an autograph then. A very very nice person who took the time to have a conversation with everyone. Including a dumb kid who couldn’t appreciate the experiences at the time.

    When I retire, assuming ever do, I would like to open a guide business in the PNW taking people up Ranier and Baker and Hood. I would call it “just a bit outside”.
