and then we have this 72 aaron. i have inspected this thing with a fine tooth comb and can not figure out how this card is a 3. must say i would take this card all day long @ $15.

Your post looks very similar to mine 1953 Yankees hof outfield and a 1972 hof both psa graded. Stop copying off me. Jk

begsu1013, congrats on landing the 83 Mantle auto. Has to feel good landing a rare signed card like that.

MattC, That Gibson rookie is centered beyond belief and looks as good as any I have see. Congrats for landing that bad-boy. Almost forgot about that Killer Carew rookie. The centering once again. Wow!!

T206Fan, Nice pickups with the Mize and Killebrew card. Killebrew certainly one of the most underrated hitters.

I was very happy to land this 66 Mays. Hard to find this card with decent centering. I was amazed to find this card sitting out there on Ebay.

Sweet mantle!

Where do we begin on that 66 Mays? I mean, does it get any better looking? This is why I love seeing no flip-- is that a 9? If it is, then great. If it's not, MUCH BETTER!

Thanks Matt. It is certainly not a 9. Picked it up for under 100. I could not be happier. Might be under graded. Will have to wait until I get it in hand to see overall condition but I do not think I will be disappointed.

BTW the centering on the Bowman Mick is outstanding and The Ruth card is crazy good. 2 very nice additions. That Ruth is exactly what I will be looking for one day when I decide to get my first.

Posting for my brother. This is his biggest and most money he has ever spent on a card. I am really pushing him to get back in the hobby.

With an eye like that, I cannot wait to see what he picks up if he gets into the hobby! Left right centering and amazing deep yellow!

It's nice to see this section of the board (pre-1980) thriving and more active than ever. Great cards and thanks for sharing!

Mick's auto on the 52T image is so awesome.

This below is tied for the biggest misgrade I ever came across. Pumped. I love my other example of this card because it does not have the black print issue in the upper left area that so many have. I love this one because it feels like one in every 200 examples of this card has great centering.



Just closed a deal for this with our good friend Jerry! Thanks, brother!
