E78 Steal?! (Grades in with scans!)

[TonyH]

Hi all,

Picked these up today and was more than happy to only pay $100 for all six especially with the above average condition.
I know the prices have really dropped on these over the last couple years but I think I should still do well.
Sending these off to SGC tomorrow and can post grades once I receive them if anyone is interested.

Great cards. Let me know if interested in selling. Please email me Ed@arrowadvertising.com

Even if they come back trimmed [which some of them look to be] you certainly will not lose money. Please post the grades once they're in.

Ed, These will be available once back from SGC and I will send you an email.

Exhibitman, I didn't even think about them being trimmed. Heck, I didn't notice the size difference with the Berger v Jeffries until I looked at the obvious picture I posted. lol
It must have been the excitement of being the only person that knew what these were that made me overlook the basics.

Thanks so much. Stay in touch.

Don't worry about the basics; you got a deal. I bought a similar group of 6 three years ago at near the bottom of the market in a competitive auction for about $35 each including shipping. None were trimmed but all were creased. A couple of significant HOFers in there but some 'commons' too. So even if you got a few "A" grades there I think you got a definite steal.

The Gans is a card I've long liked the look of; think I might have owned one once, but I don't recall right now. Might be interested in that one...

Just got the email from USPS that SGC has shipping the cards. Checked the pop report and it is +6 and appears all received a grade, no "A".
From what I remember about the pop report I believe I got
Packey McFarland 84 pop 1, highest grade, next closest is 50.
Stanley Ketchell 82 pop 1 2nd highest
and I really hope the Berger/Jeffries got 55, that would be the highest.

Anyways, I'll update when in hand on Friday.
