Anybody noticing? Tell your MJ story, etc

I was fortunate to decide to buy MJ's early Fleer issues a couple of years ago in PSA 8 or so. Not the stratosphere, but solid.

Ended up obsessing over finding a well-centered copy of his '86 RC, and could not find one in an 8. So I got a nice PSA 7 for $923 offer on eBay in late 2015.

I thought it might have the juice to go higher, so I finally convinced myself to send it to PSA for a Review in holder, with minimum 7.5. I thought there was maybe a 10% chance of them bumping it.

Imagine my surprise when PSA was feeling all sorts of crazy that day it graded and took it to a PSA 8! (see pics) Mind you, this was submitted in the holder. Never heard of such generosity before then or since. I am still amazed.

Other good fortune with MJ, I bought a PSA 8.5 of the Fleer Sticker for under $400 in 2018, because I couldn't find a centered 8.

Also had recent success with this Gold Refractor I happened into coming back a PSA 10 after sitting on it for 5 years -- sold last month at the peak. It'll all fund Vintage baseball, as it should!!
