I previously mentioned a 53 Berra that was listed as a PSA 4; the card looked nice but up close there were several wrinkles at the top left corner. I wanted to like the card, but I finally decided to send it back and search for another in excellent condition, instead.
I've learned that a number of sellers are very "liberal" in their grading. There's also a certain amount of laziness when a seller depends solely on the posted image of a card, rather than giving some explanation as to its appearance. For the rest of my upgrades, I am going to purchase cards in excellent condition that I can clearly see and receive answers if needed before I make a purchase.
I need the following upgrades in Excellent condition: Williams, Rizzuto, Wilson, Stanky, Marion, Cain, Nuxhall, Pierce, Hodges, Spahn, Easter, Rush, Drews, Boyer, Mitchell, Berra, Michaels, A. Clark and Abrams.

I can probably help you out...
I just recently sold a very nice Berra and Spahn (EX+ and EXMT respectively), so that's a bummer. But I do have a stellar Gil Hodges (SGC 6) and Raw cards of Rizzuto and Nuxhall that are crease-free and would grade at least EXMT.
Shoot me a PM if you're interested in seeing pics, or doing a trade that involves a 1956 Clemente (as described above). Thanks!
