The last Mays, the third Seaver looks like a 10 chance with that centering. Chris, this box sure looks well centered according to the star players. I have not seen the 90/10 examples on any of these cards. Very nice results.
Looking for high grade rookie cards and unopened boxes/cases

I normally would agree but in the "SGC order" thread here is seem at least they are dinging 1973 cards for back chipping, reducing what used to be 8's and 9's down to 3's

Most important to me is that the cards stay safe and in the best possible condition. Do you think the product you just ordered is superior? Presentation wise yours is far superior.

I ordered them because I want to see my collection and digging through cases has become a hassle.

Love the Shellz slab shields w/99% UV protection. Just place another order for 50. Wish they made them for SGC
I didn't know a ton about how light interacted with different materials until recently. I guess, not only light, but also humidity, and also the concentration of different things in the air. You could say it was illuminating. But also kind of scary what I learned.

It looks awesome. I will order a couple and see if the preservation/safety matches up. If it does I will order a bunch. Thanks for letting us know about this product.
Hey Chris,
Any issue with PSA holders across the "generations"
I believe the earliest PSA holders are thinner than current versions.
Are they "sloppy" in the case holders?

I don't think it's a problem. Will try and check tomorrow and report back.

I am in total agreement with Chris that this is the best way to store your cards and be able to view them when you want, instead of having them stuffed into a box. I have been doing this for about 6 years now. Around 2019 I had a manufacturer in China produce cases of these for me and I was selling them on ebay. When my own personal collection starting growing like crazy, I decided to stop selling them and have kept them for myself. Down to about 160 4-card sheets now.
I can honestly say my vigor for collecting cards multiplied once I realized how easy it had become to look at my favorite cards and sets.

Baz, thanks for the reply. Some of that I knew, other info I did not.
Chris, I hear you on not trying to guess the grades anymore. It all depends on the grader you get.
Love the vending
Always loved that Seaver card. Those colors POP!
Keep ‘em coming, Chris! Just beautiful…
Love it! Seaver #3 looks like a real winner ...

Last pic I took of the 73's
Top of the Pops on that one?
Awesome awesome. This is so much fun. Thanks for continuing to share these.
What a shame for back chipping to devalue such pretty cards by that many grades.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Thanks much - appreciate your props.
Those 73's are so beautiful to look at. The Mays cards with those absolute razor sharp edges and corners is a sight to see!
Thanks for sharing as always!
Recently participated in a Facebook Group break of 15 - 1989 Fleer FASC boxes.
I purchased 120 pack slots. 8 packs per box.
I landed some nice FF's and one Randy with the Marlboro showing.
That was a massive break. Quite the undertaking to collect all those different date codes.
I have a 83641. is that old enough for one of the Marlboro variations?
Ad visible stopped around 83401. Some of the ad green/red tint surface through 83651, but most are black out version. Ripken FF runs through 90091.
I think this website for the Ripken error shows it runs through 90171 - https://www.postwarcards.com/pulling-the-bill-ripken-ff-error-from-1989-fleer-wax-boxes/
Hey all - it's been frigid here in WISCO so have been working on storage of my Rip Collection.
I purchased 2 cases of SHELLZ Binders. They work great for PSA holders but will not work with SGC.
I think I am going to order 2 more cases.
Binder has padded, extra rigid front and rear covers made from water-resistant and non-slip textured polyurethane "leather" material.
Features
8 Archival safe 4-pocket PSA Plastic Binder Pages, holds 32 PSA Slabs
Fits Standard and Thick PSA Slabs
Secure snapping feature ensure the pages will remain shut while holding your slabs
Heavy-duty security zipper
Acid-free / no PVC plastic pages
Great stuff thank you. Can you please provide the link so I can order some.

I just ordered Black Luggage Tags to attach to each Binder Carry Handle so I can label each Binder - Baseball, Football, etc...
Will help to ID contents with ease rather than unzipping the entire Binder to look.

Thanks for the link, just ordered a few to try out.
The graded cards snap into position and are easy to remove and move...
Very nice presentation, Chris!
Look great in the binder.

Those look to be taking up too much room. You should definitely send them my way! 😂
This may very well be my favorite thread on any Internet Forum!
P.S. received my huge Hero Diamond Shell order from Shellz yesterday
Looking forward to displaying some of my late 60-early 70s Topps non-sports test issues on rotating basis in my home office.
