Brian- great Wagner! Such nice eye appeal for a 10.

Unless the back is missing, how can this be a 1? I just don't get this aspect of card grading--the relatively small degree of damage that can bump a card all the way down the scale. I guess the idea must be that this is the minimally acceptable condition for most collectors to consider, so it doesn't matter that 95% (or whatever) of examples of this card discovered will be in this condition or worse, so they should all get the same grade, allowing for much finer condition differences to account for the difference in grades of the other 5%. If this is the theory, I don't agree with it. It seems to me that grades should reflect the condition of the entire population of cards proportionately across the entire spectrum of the scale. Having said all this, I'm a memorabilia guy, so what do I know?

Several EX+ T206 cards before I send to PSA.



Complete set of 1888 Rafael Tuck & Sons die cuts.

Manny,

Nice pickups.

[familytoad]

Guys thanks for the comments on the E98 Wagner...that's what I get for buying the card and not the holder

I added the back scan above too...its nice. The technical grade could be a SGC10, maybe a 20 if the grader is in a good mood. There is a slice lower right side that likely is the deciding flaw.

I don't see anything but BEAUTY when I look at the card.

Ward Miller played a handful games for the Pirates in 1909. Made a deal to get this one.

Looking forward to combining my photography hobby with card collecting!

Very excited to have received this tonight - from the SCP auction last month. It's my very first Cobb so it is somewhat of a moment for me! Pics I took aren't very good, but despite the back centering issue it is perfect for me - the colors are fantastic, the corners and edges are really nice, and the back is clean.
Crazy to think he only hit .385 in 1910

I was looking for an upgrade to my bug hole Moore Billiken so I was pretty estatic when I won this a few days ago.
Usually I don't post my pick-ups but wanted to give props to Ryan Christoff for having another great CubanBaseballCards.com auction, as a fellow Cuban card collector, getting the chance to acquire these rare beauties are always a special treat for me. And anytime you can get them at below Hake's auction prices, thats even better

yes i was gonna say better photography than the cards but didn't want to alienate any more new posters.

Picked up at an antique store. They thought they didn't have any baseball memorabilia, but I found these in an album containing mostly non-sports blankets.

Brian, great Wagner! That small slit in the bottom right accounts for the 10. I bought it already in the holder, but it must go through the back of the card. Otherwise, it would be a solid 40. It's one of the nicest 10's I've ever seen with super color/image, and the nicest one I've owned.

Nice upgrade for my humble monster

[Jaybird]

Nice AB Willis, Jim! Looks great and will surely keep your others company

That was a great card auction, I was an early underbidder, but turned towards some of the tougher high grade commons he had going at the same time. (wish he'd stagger his end times by a few minutes, so if you lose your #1 priority you can still get a different card.

Beautiful pickup
