Ho-Ho-Ho...What's in Your Stocking this Xmas...Show Your December Pickups
I think this 1954 Topps Ted Williams #1 is his most beautiful card...and wanted to have at least one card of the Splendid Splinter in my personal collection. This card caught my eye for several reasons...eye-popping color, very nice corners for the assigned grade, nice centering with only a very subtle skewed image (problematic for the issue). I see no wrinkles or spider wrinkles under magnification and sunlight accounting for a 6.5. It seems to be undergraded by maybe a whole grade (7.5). Anyway...I'm happy to add it to my collection.

PSA has been tough on the items that end up in their Jumbo’s since the holder was introduced; rightly so as more surface area, thin stock of many of these items being very susceptible to wear and the lack of holders to accommodate them for a long time has made it so a grade of 5 is often the highest graded example.
I mention that mainly because there are only two higher graded examples than this one and it’s pretty sharp for the issue. These came in both Large and Small sizes and usually in an ordered group from a company called Sports Pix which produced a magazine and mail away photo offerings in the 1960’s…

I've always wanted to add a nice 1956 Topps Reese to my collection as he lived in my hometown of Louisville, KY for most of his life.

my goodness is that a nice Reese. how is that "only" a 7?

Great start so far guys! That '54 Ted Williams really pops.
I've been wanting a 1970 OPC Roberto Clemente for some time. Very hard to find centered as this card will attest to but it still works for me. I've also been warming up to SGC's holders:

I believe I'm the only game collector here.
I don't pick up full sized games anymore since I'm out of storage space but this one was really cheap.
Has a weird mechanism of play action.
Has the box which is often missing.

Not in hand yet but just popped with the scans and pleased with the results. I feel good about how my grades are with the more modern stuff I send in. Happy about the 1984 Nestle Atlee Hammaker PSA 10 cause that is older and those 10s are a lot tougher. POP 1. That is a personal collection thing for now. Since I cut it up I feel good when it grades well. Its like getting an A on my art project. Got a B on the Cal.

The Jim Brown is a bit loved too much but I love the centering.

Looks like this one is gonna need a corrected label. I believe it should say "Charmed" not chamred.

In other news those are the first 9-digit certs I’ve seen.

Had some record poor results opening 14 packs of 1980 Topps football. Was rough cause I pulled the right cards. 2 Lester Hayes, 2 Largents, Payton Bradshaw. All had about 97/3 left to right centering. Worst centering I've ever seen. But I liked this one a lot. What would you say this would grade with PSA or SGC today? How about PSA in 2008? May just keep it raw. Love the All-Pro banners.
