Sorry. They are gorgeous cards and I am probably wrong and jealous. I just haven't received correctly graded cards from PSA lately ,but should not have downgraded yours. Again, I apologize.

I agree it can be totally brutal. Will plow through and see what happens. I hope the cards get a little love, but if they don't then it will suck. We are in the same boat. Thanks and sorry for being defensive.
Gorgeous cards. This is my favorite set. Tremendously underrated but seems to be finally getting some recognition with all the great rookie and second year cards.
Agree Monte. I've owned alot of valuable vintage 10's over the years and this Carew in hand is right in the wheelhouse of having 55/45 Centering. It's an absolute mind blasting card to pull fresh from a Cello Pack and see in person. By far my all time favorite Carew card ever produced.
I do love the rookie cup, second year cards, but for some reason my favorite Carew is his 71 Topps.

So, UFFDH, did you win the 1954 or 1962 cello packs in last night's REA auction?
I struck out. There were a couple things I wanted including the 60 Cello with the Koufax showing on back, but per usual turned the bed light off and klonked out.
I love REA as a quality auction house but don't like their closing template. I can't stay up all night and like to be in the bidding action versus just throwing out a max and going to bed. They have lost a lot of what likely would have been higher prices from me if they closed auctions out the way Heritage does. I definitely enjoy bidding in Heritage Auctions and Collect Auctions a lot more.
I like the REA auctions a lot. They generally have cool stuff listed and I can always find something I want.
I also like them BECAUSE of how their auction closes. It forces me to make a bid and then forget about it instead of chasing it every 2 minutes. It's a nice counter to other auction houses and I like to wake up and discover what I got/didn't get. Always fun but I'm not someone typically obsessing over an item here or there.
I like that REA stays open until midnight eastern time for all lots…then close lot-by-lot after midnight. It had been that an auction would close until no lots received a bid…and it would the wee hours of the morning until closing occurred.

I opened this puppy earlier this year.......
Good luck!! I opened one about 10 years ago, think I was 5/6 cards short of one set and 20/30 for a second. Definitely confirmed the DP’s including Maravich and E Hayes
The design of 1971-72 Basketball is as good as it gets. It's easily my favorite set. I'm hoping to see you had much better luck with that box after those first couple of cards Uff!

And that's a wrap fellow Antique Card Junkies.
By far the most impressive centered pure Vintage Pack I've ever opened with sharp corners and vibrant colors to boot !!
It is amazing how well centered those all were. Seems like a unicorn cello.
The way PSA grades today , Mathews a 9. Carew an 8. What do you think?
Carew Baby!! Woot Woot!!
Another Debby Downer post. They are beautiful cards. Say something positive/uplifting or don't post at all.

A-ok and have a great Thanksgiving evening.
You as well !!!

2 HOFers out of a 12 card pack with ALL centered
68’s are beautiful when pack fresh. I’ll be damned.

My gosh every 1968 card is perfectly centered.

RA method shows lack of regard for their clients time. I am someone who cant run my life aroud a trading card auction thus gave up on them years ago.

The new RIP HOUSE and RIP ROOM are coming along. I will be relieved when its finally finished.
Here are some recent pics
That reminds me of a spot on the snake river near Yellowstone.
Beautiful home, Chris. Congrats on the new build!
I opened this puppy earlier this year.......
Beautiful spot you have created for yourself there. Congratulations on the hard work paying off.
Thank You!!
This box started out rough and ugly....
Good luck!! I opened one about 10 years ago, think I was 5/6 cards short of one set and 20/30 for a second. Definitely confirmed the DP’s including Maravich and E Hayes
Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972
