    I paid about $3,000 USA dollars as the estate auction was in Canadian dollars for the lot of 100 cards mostly 1958 Topps and a few 1959 Topps.

    You did good. Most of those will increase in value regardless of grade.

    Basically trying to collect more vintage now. I just counted its 144 cards I got for about $3,000. They were selling the cards in auctions of 12 and grouped by numerical order. Was an estate auction held by a online Canadian local company that had no expertise in vintage cards. I missed out on a nice Ted Williams - 1958 Topps card I wanted. I tried to follow a bidding formula of max bid of 25% of what I thought the graded stars cards would be worth. The $3,000 included the auctions 15% they added to the purchase price.

    I'm like Gameusedhoops....a '3' or '3.5' seems more accurate. I has a soft top right corner and a good bit od edge indentations. A '6' is unrealistic.
