Cracker Jack Collectors....what is the secret

[Golfcollector]

Here are a couple I already have scans of on the computer



The crawford is in a holder hence the tape..it is not on the card

AJ - That's a beautiful Wagner! Very clean, very bright and very nice.

I've never submitted to PSA, but of the cards I've bought in PSA holders they have been more inconsistent. I've seen a number of very under-graded cards but also some over graded. SGC may be a bit more lax with staining, but I feel are more consistent with the issue overall.

I had a wonderful 1914 CJ for Oldring that SGC graded a 3. But the corners and image and color all suggested a 5/6. Problem was it was rather heavily stained--not the usual ugly blotches but a somewhat uniform taint. I asked an SGC guy at a show if it might get an upgrade and he said no way because of the stainy tone. A year later I submitted to them at the same show--and it came back a 4.5. That seemed fair to me. But even SGC was all over the map on same card.

I think its amazing how many PSA 2s are out there that are virtually crease free with overall minor wear but stained, I think they make some of the best value buys. I have few that basically appear that SGC didn't discount for staining in any way and I don't think I can say that about PSA. In the end, both are fun to crack open.

You wanted to see some scans, here are the other cards other than the Crawford that I have right now...debating on selling raw, or getting graded and then selling

Man these cards are F-R-A-G-I-L-E

The Zimmermann has some residue on the back like it was in an albumn..not any paper loss that I can tell though.

Enjoy! And all comments and suggestions are welcome!
