Memory Lane on the brain

If the winner of the e126 ruth is here...I certainly dont mean to offend but this card seems way overgraded? Jay pointed out some paper loss on front. Do I see areas of water damage or something around the top 2 corners...looks like maybe the card was adhered to something and removed??? It's not as noticable on the bottom.

Total guess here but that maybe what we call in the comic business newton rings when the plastic inner sleeve pushes up against the outer plastic it leaves an oily water type look. I think that is what you may see any staining to the top corners🤷🏻

So true James. It happens with many PSA Encapsulated Photos as well. In fact, several of my photos have that same issue going on.

The first (only) PSA slabbed photo I ever got has that exact thing. It looks kind of scary when you first see it and think there is some sort of damage to the item but it is, as you say, when two pieces of plastic are in contact.

Low pop and big name hall of famers Ruth, Mantle, Williams, Cobb aren't seeing any slowdown imo

It does seem some of the secondary hall of famers are starting to level with certain sets still seeming hot, T206, Exhibits, Goudey

I limit my collection to Cubs only but I found a loophole last night. This is definitely my most valuable Grover Alexander card now, which is saying something since I have a 1914 CJ. I overpaid, but issues that feature both Grover Alexander and Babe Ruth don't pop up too often.

Does anyone know if PSA would authenticate a complete strip like this? Size is 13 1/2” x 2 1/4”.

That’s a really cool strip, congrats! Best loophole ever. I don’t think PSA has a holder long enough for that. I had this Gretzky panel I submitted, it was 11” long but filled up what I think is their biggest holder. Plus, you get really terrible Newton’s Rings effect with the clear space around. I really disliked how it looked.
