Default My first ever graded cards in the mail!

Lots of fun around the house today as I received back from PSA my first ever grades for cards I submitted. It was fun so I wanted to share...

Was hoping for a 5 on these two, but didn't get my expectations up too high so wasn't disappointed.




(getting this card back is not helping the itch I have to start a 59 topps set...they are just so cool looking)

And then this one. The card I put on layaway when I was 13 years old and spent 6 months handing over all my allowance and paper route money. In the end, it only cost me $140, so it's good to know my 'solid' investment can now be liquidated on eBay for around $80;-) Oh well, it's about the journey, right!?! I am actually thrilled with a 9(OC). Just from reading up on the grading process I kind of expected an OC, but did not expect a 9.



I have to say, the thrill of opening the box to see what the grades were was intense and enjoyable...tho I don't think my wallet can afford to get overly addicted to it;-)
