Decided to scan some of 52 H/N cards.

I believe the Wilson was graded before the would numerically grade signed cards. It would not be better than a PSA 1 with the paper loss on the upper corner so no reason to waste hard earned money sending it back in.

If yo' Reese, has a crease..or a hairline paper wrinkle, it won't get better than a psa 3 in my experience.

Thanks for the info.


The line/crease across Reese's face is hardly noticeable but I agree with you, PSA or SGC would definitely notice it and would likely grade it accordingly.

I didn't think it'd be worthy of a send in/grade either.

How come your card is also graded? (Unless it's a joke, which I believe it likely is) In this link, pg 5, it is just the autograph that is authenticated but there is no grade on the actual autograph/card.

What am I missing here because it's beyond obvious your card itself is no wheres near that number/grade.

Scanned some lower numbered cards today and I must say, my scanner, for some reason turns the borders grey/dirty looking for some reason? The borders (most) in hand under good lighting, are much whiter than these look like.
I am however still amazed at the small details, when full blown up, how much this scanner does pick up.

Really having a hard time with what cards to get graded? I think these, or at least some of these, are worth getting graded, but they are low numbers, so I assume it likely isn't worth it, especially considering the exchange rate, shipping, insurance etc?

Also, received some bad news today. My Uncle had quite a few H/N 52 Topps cards as well, including, from what I can remember, a great condition #407 Mathews! He told my Father today, he sold all of them a few years ago to some collector in the Belleville area? I have no idea what he got for them, but my Dad didn't think it was any more than a few hundred dollars!

You win some you lose some, but I remember telling him years ago, that if he was ever going to sell them, be sure to let me know.

Anything lower than a PSA 6 for almost all the low numbers commons really isn't worth getting graded unless you just like to protect the cards in those holders or like how they display....maybe a very very low POP card could sell for 50 bucks as a psa 5 like #80...

for #81-#310.. PSA 6 as well but many PSA 7s commons only sell for mid 40s on ebay.. for high numbers all are worth getting graded I guess..

sucks about your uncle...I do have a good shot to get a few unopened 1952 topps (boxes? not sure whats there) in a few years currently in a storage unit from tarrytown NY if an uncle doesn't steal them..i the only one in the family known to collect cards...my grandfather had a five and dime shop and kept some of them...my mom still talks about playing with the 1952-1954 topps cards and writing on them when she played with her brother....those cards supposed to go to my mom and if she gets them I 100% going to get them....

I see what you mean, 1952. The grading/PSA slab would be worth more than what the cards are

Lots, like you say on E-Bay going for low money.

Hoping your Uncle doesn't steal those cards on you, those would be awesome to get!

Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it.
