Default Show your nice 1's!
A poster recently suggested that a PSA 1 is a PSA 1 and that you shouldn't overpay for them. I am on the other side of that fence, as someone who refuses to pay less than VCP for a card, even a PSA 1.

Here are a few low-grade Mantles that I am happy to have "overpaid" for. Let's see some of your best and favorite 1's.

Most VZ Topps are 1s due to the backs and this one is no different but I'd say the front is especially nice.img076.jpg

I do a lot of low grade and enjoy a good 1. Great idea for a thread!

Here are my offerings...

1955clemente164PSA1.jpg
1967laughlin61mantleADDRESSPSA1.jpg

The 1967 Laughlin Mantle is the 'with address' version and there's a crease running across its entire top, apparently done by someone trying to make the oversized card match the size of standard Topps cards. But since these guys are a bear to find in any shape, I'm happy just to have it.

Hell yeah, great card Wade. I think this is my nicest looking PSA 1 Venezuelan, the back is also trashed from being pasted in an album.

This one remains a mystery to me years later. And this 1 is a one-of-one.

I have a few 50's 1's...this one has to be my nicest. Clearly a little kid in 1955 stabled this to something, then popped it off. Other than that, it's super clean with vibrant color. I picked this up for $40 a few years ago at a local show and subbed it myself...

Nice card, Dale.

There are probably very few nice 1's out there. Most people collect higher grades.

Don’t have any pure 1’s at the moment, but this is pretty close. Not bad at all for the grade; there is a light blue pen fleck in the right border. Corners and edges are pretty well shot, but there’s not a major crease in it.

Oops, I lied. Here’s a true 1. Deservedly so, but the color pops and it would be hard to improve much on the centering. I’ll take a low grade card like this one all day long…
