Run the gamut?

[TheNightmanCometh]

I was just wondering if there are any collectors here who have tried or are trying to run the grading gamut on one particular card; like for example PSA 1 through 10? And are there any crazy collectors who have/are doing so while also going for half grades as well?

Very curious and would love to see a pic of them all laid out. That, I imagine, would look pretty darn cool.

Wow, that's cool! Thanks for sharing.

Considering collectors are a crazy bunch, I figured somebody would have tried it.

Please tell me the MK isn't for the Mickey Mantle authenticated signature... ;-)

Bob, you always amaze me with your collection. Some sweet looking 57 Micks.

A great topic as I have been toying with the idea with the 69 Bench. I have the 3 big ones out of the way. It is not easy finding this card with centering that I like. Next up is 7.5.

Nothing at all against Bob and his Mantles but I think doing this with a 69 Bench would be awesome. Great early card with that classic rookie trophy on it plus it shouldn't break the bank getting the grades lower than what you have already achieved.

no competition factor what so ever...

it's cardboard and why we are all here.

just wish more folks would contribute more eye candy, even if its just a few...

sweet run of 69's there, jb!

Thanks Bob. That 69 Bench card was my favorite as kid growing up. After seeing your Nolan Ryan collection where you had multiples of his 69 card it really inspired me to go after some more of the high end 69 Bench cards. I have a another sweet looking 8.5 waiting for me at the post office when I get back in town on Monday.

The '69 Bench is such an awesome looking card. I really wanna run the gamut, but I haven't really decided on which card to go with yet; it'll definitely be Braves related. But man, a full gamut of Bench's is gonna look so sweet! Good luck to you and thanks for sharing. :)

fully deserving of the mk designation as it has "i will never sell this" written on the back in deep bold sharpie. :D

Wow! That is a nice run of Hamerin' Hank!! Great stuff.
