Posted By: E, DanielJust incredibly beautiful K Bats Preece, many cards turn up that are amazing - but pieces like this really deserve the tag extraordinary!!! Can I ask, I notice that the Keefe tapers down-and-in on both sides of the card.....did you purchase it slabbed, or if not, were you concerned that the cuts might not be original? I have very little up close experience with the Kalamazoos, were the cuts on this issue regularly all over the place or is this an unusual example? Kind regards Daniel

05-07-2006, 07:01 PM

Posted By: Preece1The cards were graded today. I have seen the very best K-Bats collection up close and it appears that many of the K-Bats come with very "non standard" cuts. The Keefe does not have a wavy right side, and no pressure imprints which is what you would tend to find on a trimmed card. Both of these cards are from the Copeland auction.

Posted By: E, DanielI imagine it's going to be one very special evening..... I assume they won't get put away tonight - and that you'll be picking them up every 10 minutes just to feel the thrill of having them in your hands. I'd be grinning for a week!!! At least!!! Kindest regards Daniel

Posted By: Josh K.Preece - let me be the latest to say those k bats are incredible. Here are my latest. <img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e211/jkrasner2/E93mastro3Large.jpg"> <img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e211/jkrasner2/E93mastro2Large.jpg"> <img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e211/jkrasner2/e93mastro1Large.jpg"> Three or four are overgraded IMO due to spots of paperloss on the reverse but the fronts all look sharp. A few, such as the coveleskie and evers, appear to be severely undergraded.

Posted By: quansome nice e93s josh, especially the chance. did you cross some over from SGC? I remember ur wagner was in an sgc holder...

05-08-2006, 01:03 PM

Posted By: Josh K.Hey Quan, These are all new cards to me. I still have my sgc 40 wagner and will likely be selling whichever of the two I think looks worse. The cards are not "in hand" yet. Based on the scans, the psa wagner has a nicer front, but the back is not as clean. Unfortunately, the Chance is one of the cards that I feel is overgraded. It has a very small spot of paperloss on the reverse - though it does present real nice.

Posted By: NoelI loved looking at those E93's. Thanks for posting them and thanks for all the information and wisdom you guys bring to this board. I noticed that many of the cards (PSA) were in holders that were nearly double the size fo the card. Is anyone else puzzled/irritated of PSA not making holders that "fit" the card. Some of the E93's above are nearly diagonal in the holder. I have a bunch of these which i want fit into holders that are the proper size. I do have many cards that are in the correct size but a substantial amount more that are not. Why does PSA do this? Will they correct this if brought to their attention? Seems a good way to turn a "ex" card into "vg" without ever leaving the holder.

Posted By: ChadThat's only the second Punch I've ever seen for sale and I almost swallowed my tongue waiting for the auction to end. I couldn't believe my luck! There are only about 50 cards from the set in existence and, at most, only 2 of the Cabrera. It's not often a bottom feeder like me gets something that rare. --Chad

Posted By: BobRobert! Where do you find that red Vaughn, I am jealous. Dave- nice cards. Yes that Zeenut is special because they (SGC)just don't grade them very high. I have had EXMT to NRMT ones graded as 60s so you did well guy. I used to own that Payne AUT, very nice card and believe that undergraded E93 Waddell which cmoking owns used to be mine at one time and was severely undergraded. Nice cards guys!
