He's on CST... so we'll give him 8 more minutes since it's the weekend. He obviously doesn't have kids under 5 who get up at 7:00

Mine is 3, and she's still asleep.

I'm bawling right now as I post these. So beautiful. So clean. SO TAPE RIDDEN!@$%#! WHY? WHY? WHY?

These scans show part of a group of over sixty gorgeous '51 Bowmans I got recently in a deal. Almost every single one of these cards is Nm to NM-MT without the tape. Absolutely pack fresh. Just clean stunning cards with the friggin' tape on them. So disappointing.

They are for sale and I'll post the entire list in a bit, but it's loaded with high numbers and some nice stars like Spahn. The upper right corner of the Maglie shows what the cards would look like if you carefully take the tape off. PM me if you're interested, and in the meantime, don't get too broken up over these, it's a tough deal pal.

EarlsWorld · August 29, 2009 12:14AM

Your not kidding...the tears are flowing! Very nice looking cards! Just purchased a lot of 52's off the Board which have two tape stain on minty cards!

itzagoner · August 29, 2009 12:15AM

i laughed so hard, i cried.

originalisbest · August 29, 2009 1:03AM

I'm crying here over my Saturday morning root beer! Agghhhh! Nice post RB.

daddymc · August 29, 2009 1:08AM

Heartbreaking. Is this a case where the tape can be soaked off or will that not work for this type of card stock?

RonBurgundy · August 29, 2009 1:32AM

Don -

I don't know if that will work or not. I think you can get most of it off but it will probably leave at least a light stain like you see on the Maglie.

RonBurgundy · August 29, 2009 1:41AM

Here's the complete list of the cards. $2395 in Beckett value, if someone wants them all for $425 delivered PM me. That's a little over 15%, which seems about right since taped cards are usually 5-10% normally and I'm adjusting up for the otherwise blazing condition of these. Tons of stars, minor stars, and high numbers.

How do you value cards that have tape like this????

EAsports · August 29, 2009 1:44AM

I know you aren't piecing this one out, but if you ever do (or if the buyer ever does), I'd be interested in the Adc--k and the Dark.

alnavman · August 29, 2009 1:45AM

so is it possible that if you removed the tape that these cards might end up PSA 7ST or 8ST???? or am I being too generous.

jamesgotpoorman · August 29, 2009 4:13AM

MBMiller25 · August 29, 2009 4:14AM

I just puked in my mouth

rexvos · August 29, 2009 4:48AM

I saw these in person, and it hurt me. I died a little that day.

corvette1340 · August 29, 2009 5:12AM

I want to pull the trigger on these so bad I can't stand it and try to delicately remove the tape and turn them into gradeable cards but I know what the outcome would be and I don't think I could stomach a bunch of ripped '51's.

VitoCo1972 · August 29, 2009 6:13AM

This is the type of Whitey Ford 51B that I could afford! I wish you had one.

handyman · August 29, 2009 8:08AM

What would the value of a full 1952 bowman cards range about ex to Exmt but they have the same tap as yours. Any idea?

fattymacs · August 29, 2009 11:33PM

Ugh, without the tape they are a too nice for my set. With the tape, not nice enough.

corvette1340 · August 29, 2009 11:43PM
