Upgrade for my Griffey Basic Set. One of my favorite base cards of his.

Just got my first grades back from my very first SGC sub but can't figure out how to find images on their site. As soon as they arrive I'll post some.
Was very happy to add this one to my Gary Carter collection
Found these at a thrift store. I really enjoy reading older Beckett magazines, especially because 1990's - 2000's baseball is my main collecting focus.
I use these guides frequently to research set lists & insertion ratios, as well as get a good laugh over who used to be on the hot list.
One guide still had the promo card inside.
For the 61 auto set:
I had a few cards come in . Nothing major but they improve some of my sets --- Sonny
One of my cooler card acquisition days. Happy to begin the 1933 Goudey collection. Been wanting to add the Jackson for a while. Short print, love the image.
Then went out to Chantilly and saw some nice stuff and decided to get the Aaron and Sandberg. Going to see if Ryne could become a SGC 9.5. Then just cant ever feel like I have too many Hanks. Liked a lot about this one. Color feels nice. Think the centering and corners work for an 8. The spot on the right its hard to tell what it is exactly, does not look like a ding or scuff, maybe a paint issue.
Go to "My Orders" and click on your Order Number. You should see a link under Submission Details called "Download SellerReady Images".
From there, you should see a folder with all the images. You can download to your computer.
I’d like to see a download feature from the PSA orders. It’s painful to do one at a time.
Thanks,

1985 Topps Football (starting in psa 8) - #9 - started 05/21/06
Beautiful color on the '63 Aaron. Congrats...
I would give it a 7.5 based on color and centering.
I saw this one while searching for an OPC Schmidt and decided this Topps version was worth pursuing as well:
Here is the PSA scan of the 1963 Aaron, I think your phone is picking up a flaw in the plastic or something. Doesn't seem to be the card itself.
This one arrived yesterday.
3 more autos for the set:
Thanks. Hope SGC agrees with you. Dropped it off with them this morning for a crossover review.
I've lost probably half a dozen auctions for one of these 51 Berras over the years and finally decided to pull the bin trigger.

Very nice. Clean,readable autographs.
Liked the action shot on this low grade T206.
On the way to me from BBCE auction.
Thanks, @Chicago1976 for instructions on how to find these! This was my first sub ever to SGC, and the grades were what I expected. No silliness that I'd been getting from other graders. As a vintage-only guy this will be the only place I grade from now on...
Some of my favorites.
What a great sub. Beautiful cards. Congrats.
Very nice cards.
Agreed. Excellent cards. And they look nice in the holders with those grades.
Sweet Catfish! Looks like it just came from a pack. Congrats.
Love 76's!! Sweet cards!
ON ITS WAY TO NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92658
Those are so nice I think I may like the unfavorites. 😄
I pulled all the 76s (my favorite issue of all time) out of a vending. The Ryan came from a wax box. The Catfish came in an album I bought recently because it had several Blylevens (4 & 5), a Simmons (3) and a McCovey. I was hoping for better on the others but I've always been a big Hunter fan.
I really like that they give the .5 grades.
A fun scoop; classic pose photo is a technical poor due to four pinholes and innumerable surface indents that show up in the right light with these. Still, it presents pretty well.

I wasn't looking for a Bench RC, but I couldn't pass up this card at less than recent comps.
Nice Bench!

Card looks better than my crappy iPad photo:
Dead centered Bench RC…like it a lot!
Thanks. I don't collect much vintage baseball anymore but I always pick up nice RCs when I see them. This is one of the nicest PSA 7 I have ever seen for any vintage RCs.
A few more arrivals for April. As you can see, I'm all over the place.

Still riding the Jackson Holliday love train but this might the last stop for a while, short print image variation.
That is a HAUL of 80s cards. Always thought whoever chose that 85 photo of Jack Morris must hate the guy because it looks weird. So so weird.
A budget-friendly 1969-79 rookie HOF batch. I got the Robin for $50 at BBCE in Schererville, IN. Best $50 I’ve ever spent.
Sweet Yount card indeed.
Cracked this out of a damaged PSA 2 holder. Nice surprise getting a bump, certainly not my goal.
For my '54 team set
Beautiful Garagiola...color pops!
here is the two cards for last month.
Not many already graded available, as he played in the 1930's, but a necessary card for the Hall Of Fame Football Set....
Messier's first card. Thought it was always cheap relatively speaking, so as this 1/1 came up recently I had to snag it to upgrade from my 9. Welp now i have to try and put together the whole set in high grade.
A few more that came in this week.

Thrilled to have this arrive. Thought I would have to wait a little longer. Won it in the Heritage Auction and it became a "had to have it" type of card. Really growing to appreciate the 1933 Goudey set and find the life and career of Hack Wilson interesting. Unfortunately I think alcohol kept him from having a very productive career but in his prime he was one of the best. Dont see those 191 RBI being passed maybe ever. Especially with the most powerful hitters now frequently hitting 1st or 2nd. Hadn't realized he had the NL HR record until McGwire Sosa.
Side note, Heritage packaging was phenomenal. Huge box that looked liked it had a sweater inside. Double boxed, bubble wrapped with packaging peanuts on just a single card. Very well protected.
