Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards. Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
Striker? I read an article - and there's a game from England called "Rounders" - and they call the batter the 'striker' - wonder if that's what this represents?
Thanks Mike - it's a really cool old set, esp. considering that it's from 1884. There are no specific players included in the set, just 37 generic cards of "strikers", base hits, etc. I have a full SGC graded set; most of these came from a recent find, so there are many high-grade cards out there, but anything from 1884 that can get a mint grade is cool by me!
Received one of these in the mail this week. Of the 210 in the "Graded Series" only six were graded 9.5.

Here's the back Mike. There looks like a very light stain or something in the lower left corner, it's actually hard to see in hand. Maybe a little water damage? I can't see it on the front of the card.
Look on the bottom right of the back of the Hodges card. I have some with that similar wrinkle. That and the staining probably bring down the grade. Still a beautiful card.

I've wanted a nice looking Griffey auto for a while now, but never quite saw the right card or couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger when the time came. My "problem" is that I want a good vehicle for the signature, and it's actually pretty tough to find baseball cards that have the right color scheme (that aren't Allen & Ginter or Goudey, anyway).
That's why I like the 90 Upper Deck over the 89. The white jersey provides a perfect background for a signature.
And that still wasn't the best thing to happen to me this weekend. My birthday was yesterday. Two days before that was my wedding!
I'd like to think I got two nice pickups this weekend, hehe.
Congrats Frank. My birthday is two days before my anniversary as well. My wife's birthday is two days after Valentine's Day. Makes things easier to remember.

Cool old Ogden's card hhmag! I love those old British tobacco cards, and the black borders look great in that slab. Do you have any more from that set?

No that is the only one right now, have added them to my list of items when I search for different things though.
Just picked these up from the mail today. Had to dig this out before it got to burried. For all the hockey fans !! Not to many of us i know !! lol Cheers, Steve
Great cards, Steve. Dryden looks better than a PSA 8. Centering on the Orr is just about perfect. Very jealous.
-Nathaniel
That's what i thought. PSA see's something what i don't see. Figured it was a 8.5 at worst case scenerio. I've owned PSA 9 Dryden's and this by far is the best centered Dryden i have owned. Well not for long it will make it to ebay eventually. As for the Orr i would like to try for a bump but don't have enough cards worth sending in. Don't mind paying the regrade fee but to pay 16.99 for shipping for 1 card is rediculous. This is where PSA has to change something in there shipping. 16.99 is to much money even for a few graded cards. Cheers, Steve

I picked this up from Kruk - on a very fair BIN.

That's a great card!!!!

<< <i>Mike, I can't see what made it a 2.5. I'm gonna have to look closer - >>
Mark - if ya get a chance - would ya scan the back?
Thanx - I don't have the card - but would sure like to have it someday.

Did you buy this on ebay?
Why isn't this like a 6 or 7?

<< <i>Got it on eBay for $39. Would that light stain cause it to grade at 2? >>
Really don't know - maybe it might be worth resub'ing it? Or a review in the holder?
Good luck - it's a beauty!

<< <i>Well, it'll be hard to get an older PSA 10 than this new pickup of mine!
Wow... to say the least. Never would have thought a 10 possible on a card that old. Phenomenal pickup, Scott. Congrats!
<< <i>Thanks Mike, I think I will resub. Can't imagine it coming back a 1! >>
Did you look at the stained area with a loupe?
Good luck - if you get a big bump that card jump alot!!!!

<< <i>Brick, I see a bump on the bottom right corner but no wrinkle. We'll see what happens on a resub, I have the 6 freebies to use up. >>
I asked some friends about the card, they weren't sure other than to think that perhaps PSA is really tuff on (water) stains and wrinkles/dings?
If ya got the subs anyways - ya don't have alot to lose - if it gets bumped to a 5 even - it's worth a bit more than 39 bucks.

Have ya got a GU Jeter bat?
There's one on ebay - a rookie model - going for more dough than I want to spend!

Mike - I don't own a GU Jeter bat. Although I would love to own one. I also don't own a Jeter auto as I am afraid of picking up a fake one.
