1955 Topps All-American Football
Heisman Trophy Winners RCs
All the cards are scanned in all the sets if you want to take a look. I'm going to have to slow down in 2009, lol.
Hopefully you can actually see the card now. Yes? No? I'm new at posting images.

Nothing outstanding, but these two tied:
I'm with Bman on this one (no, I didn't have any more daughters) but I had to sell most of my collection. OK, which items that I sold (and I will only list a few of them) hurt the most?
1. 1968 100% PSA graded Baseball Set. It was up to #11 on THE REGISTRY at one point.
2. 1954 Bowman Mantle graded PSA 6. Also sold PSA graded Mantles (as low as PSA 5 and as high as PSA 8) from '59, '60, '62, '63, '65, '67, '68 and '69. (Multiple 67s and 68s)
3. TWO raw 1957 Topps football sets. One complete and one missing only a handful of cards.
4. Topps baseball complete raw sets from 70, 72, 73, 74 and 75. The '71 was near complete.
5. 1975 mini wax box graded GAI 8.
5. 1980 Topps basketball Wax box GAI 8 I believe
6. A dozen or so PSA/DNA single signed balls, Including a Nolan Ryan graded 10.
7. A few hundred graded packs. There was a complete 60s baseball wax pack run, including about 10 from 1967. In addition, there were some nice cellos, including about 5 or 6 from 67. There was also a nice '59 football cello graded 9.5!!!!
8. There were also about 1,700 or so PSA graded cards, some of which were very low pop, including some 71 psa 9s and 64 psa 9s. There were some real nice cards from the 50s, 60s and early 70s.
9. OK, OK, I could go on all day with this, but you don't want a 50 year old man to start crying, do you?

Amazing cards up there. My favorite pickup is pretty modest by comparison, but it sure floats my boat...
Of course, this one gets honorable mention
I dont send cards to PSA, but this could be a prime candidate for a bump.

Thats just paint residue.
