Nice 52's, guys!

Can you tell why Lopat only graded a 3, Adam? Looks much nicer in your pic and reminds me of my Kuzava, which, to this day is a grade I can't figure out.

Is that some very light spider-creasing through the top of Kuzava's hat? If not, could it be something in the scan?

Wrinkles that can be very difficult to see are usually one of the first suspects on otherwise very nice cards that come back a 5 and surprise you. Mostly they are on the back, but I've seen some 5's that have multiple light wrinkles on the front.

If it's none of the above, then who knows. I've seen a lot of 6's lately that could be 7's. I've argued for a while now that PSA should have some type of service - maybe even make it premium - where the grade your card got is explained in a paragraph or something like that, if they aren't going to do sub-grades like Beckett does for the newer cards. I guess they would see that as skewing their business model, and it would only add to their already ridiculous turnaround times, however. I don't know. I think that back in the early days of TPG's, PSA was probably on par with SGC in terms of strictness. Here lately they seem to be harsher graders - particularly with vintage - to prove some kind of point. Everything seems to be more of a game anymore than taken at face value...

Got these two today. The Drysdale is an upgrade for my 62 AS subset. The Stuart gets me down to needing three cards to finish my 64 Stand-up set.

Thanks, Ray. The centering and clarity caught my eye. I like 52s in this range. I agree with the grade technically: corner wear and very minor corner creases. Barely noticeable.

I need a new monitor. I was looking at your scan/pic of it yesterday at work and it is much clearer to see the corners on my work monitor.
When I noticed them there, I wondered how I missed them on mine, but I know the answer now.

A couple of Clementes. IMO the Topps Giants is stunning, hard (for me) to imagine a better card for $50.

In addition to pre-war, post-war is a big focus for me.
