    First, thank you for your service.

    I would really like to see a scan of the Washington once it comes back if possible, those are really nice cards.

    Congrats on the pop, feel free to show us the rest if you feel like it.

    you think that is a $5,000+ card?

    no wonder you were dying to get your sub back

    Is that a yes?

    Quite frankly I could see a card like this selling for much more then $5,000, perhaps more then $25,000

    George Washington is the most famous president ever and a non basebal card collector would love to have this.

    This is truely a rare find of epic proportion.

    I checked the SMR and could find nothing on these other then the baseball player cards. Babe Ruth in an 8 is $25k, some guy in a PSA 6 sold for $80k


    Congrats on such a huge card. I think $25,000+ all the way here

    Honestly i was expecting a grade with the "mysterious wrinkle" that nobody can seem to find on their cards, but this was definitely a ++++

    First off...Happy Veterans Day to a fellow Veteran.
    Congrats on a unbelievable card.

    I have to ask a question.....Why was it at PSA for 2 and a half months? I would have sent that bad bod on a higher service.--Maybe you did send it on a higher service and they did every check known to man on that thing.

    Carew29Carew29 Posts: 4,026 ✭✭

    It was part of a large order that had several German made Jean Harlow tobacco cards not in the database at PSA. Susan Blanco did alot of work to get these added to the system and prevented them from getting the dreaded N9.... i do appreciate the HARD work she did. I should have sent that card in seperately but wasn't confident enough that i might not get the grade i wanted to see.

    Marc,
    Congrats on the grades. A+++ on the Washington. I'd like to see some scans on the Garbarty cards. Those are some of the nicest film cards out there.

    Nice Washington hit.

    We also want to see the Jean Harlows. Who I always thought looked like Maryln Monroe with a german nose....but maybe it is more fair to say Monroe looked like Harlow.

    Happy vets day.

    Looks like they used a Gilbert Stuart painting for Washington (?).

    First, thanks for your service as well!

    Heritage's big auction last week had two sets of the Presidents which sold. The SGC set (with only an SGC 2 Washington) had the super-rare McKinley card; the set sold for $14K, although most of that price went to the McKinley. SGC set

    They also had a PSA set with no McKinley; the Washington was a PSA 4 and the set went for $1600. PSA set

    Good luck with your great card!

    Who ever was giving you a hard time about wanting these back quickly needs to retract their statement right away.

    This is by far the greatest sub results I have ever seen on this board since I joined.


    The GW is simply awesome and is worth huge money. I am surprised you sent that in bulk and how sweet is it that is slipped by and got the grade it did.


    Nice work and quite frankly I was thrilled to see it happen. I was in all honesty really excited earlier when you first posted it as this is what makes the hobby so special.

    I love seeing people hit the jack pot with cards. Awesome!!
