Very cool, thanks for the heads up! I'm heading to Phoenix for a week during spring training so I'll definitely check it out.

I would love to go see his collection. My hair is a bit long though might need a...trim...before going.

aah aah see what I did with the word trim?

Ken Kendrick collection
 

His collection is amazing!

Some of his cards include:

T206 Honus Wagner PSA 8
1916 M101 Babe Ruth Sporting News Rookie PSA 8
1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 10

The cards mentioned above which are the top 3 sports cards in Joe Orlando's top sports cards book are the highest grades in existence.

Uh, lemme see if I got this straight. A guy who practically runs the joint (yes, I know they are publicly traded) writes a book which lists three cards, which his very own company graded, as the highest in existence. The most famous card, of course, is. admittedly ...

In the immortal woidz of Daffy Duck, "That's rich! That's really rich!"

His company grades them; they didn't print or make them.

Many collectors would agree those are the three "top" cards in the hobby.

You are correct. And everybody in the hobby now knows that the first card they graded, the flagship of the fleet, belongs in an Authetic holder.

Look, this topic has been beaten to death around here. So I myself would be bored to death to exhume it. I was only pointing out about the book written by the guy who...

I saw this collection when it was on display at the Hall of Fame. Leaving aside some controversial aspects of the discussion, I will say this:

The cards are absolutely beautiful. If you have the chance to check them out in person, don't pass up the opportunity.

I spent the better part of an hour looking at the collection, and considered it time well spent.

Best regards,

Ok just to make you feel better, I will swing by and take a gander at the cards on Wednesday afternoon, March 16th as I will also be in the Phoenix area for baseball spring training.
I will let you know if they are any good :rolleyes:

I'll be busy watching games after that for the rest of the week!

Have fun looking at his one of a kind collection!

Wasn't the T206 Wagner shown at the National held at Rosemont in 2008 or 2009?

Yeap.....as I remember. That was before the admission of altering.

Found this today while doing some research.

I know this is a slightly older post but I thought some might want to see some better pics of his cards and the story/vid below that goes with them?

The best part is that the Wagner is no longer in the Pop Report and the cert number is invalid. I guess the problem went away. Gosh PSA is terrific!

I enjoyed that. Thanks for posting the additional link, Irv.

Hi Mike,

Back in August it had been removed. So it seems PSA rethought that idea.
