33G Gehrig - paper tears - that's a nice "1", I'd be willing to take it for a "1" price.

T206's look nice. I have a few Obaks that really look like 7s or 8s but they got hammered for the card fronts having a little crazing on them. Hard to tell why the T206s were graded so low.

The top one has the slight bend.

The other three all have some minor flaw. Konetchy has a tiny flake of surface missing from one corner, Smith has a tiny ding lower left corner, and Conroy has a spot just left of his head with no ink. The blue isn't heavily inked and that spot just didn't completely print.

The first couple groups I sent in were all over the place about half I thought were undergraded, the third got expected to generous grades, the most recent I combined specials with some new stuff and all the grades seemed at least a grade low. The modern stuff did fine except for one that I just can't figure out. 81Donruss Winfield. The nicest 81 D I've seen, centering registration....And it only got an 8.

Those are beauties Steve no matter the grade. Here's one that looks better than some graded the same.

Maybe I don't fully understand how grading works, but I don't get why this is a 1:



Scratches are on the slab.

Wow. I guess the 50's I got aren't so bad.

Whoever gave that Evers a 35 must have been having a really bad day.


It's kind of funny, I decided to grade a few figuring it would come in handy if my daughters didn't take to collecting. But only the ones that seemed really nice. Now I'm thinking of doing more, maybe some of the VG cards and the tougher backs. But part of me wants to keep the average grade on the T206s above 50....

I think both of these are undergraded:
