2016 Post-War Goals

[DeanH3]

Started back into post-war late last year. I didn't have any real goals for 2016 but I'm glad I picked up a few pieces.









I don't play the re-sub game, but I gotta re-sub this Paige. I have no idea why it's a 3. Absolutely no creases or wrinkles anywhere.

That Mantle also looks like it could be resubmitted, but I assume, because you didn't mention it, that something glaring wrong is going on with the back of the card or something on the front I can't see?

I purchased this one already slabbed but still can't figure out the 3 myself?
I did find some very tiny spider wrinkles on the back but I have also seen way worse looking cards graded higher?

Hi Dale!

Yes, the back on the Mantle has paperloss. So the technical grade is accurate. But with a front like that, it's well worth the trade off for me.

I've scoured the Paige front/back and can't find anything to warrant a 3. There's always that chance I'm missing something.

Your Kuzava is outstanding. If that is a PSA 3, I'll buy those all day long!

I finished my 1971 set in 2016 and am just one card away from the 1970 set. I'm hoping a nice example pops up before the end of the year so I can check that one off too.

52T seems to be a common theme in this thread ... I made a little progress on my low number 1952 Topps set in 2016, too, adding about 15 cards--but still more than 100 away. I'm hoping to focus on that one in 2017 now that those 70s sets are done and would like to land a nice Pafko and Mays before the prices on those get way out of reach in the condition I'd like.

I've always had mostly raw cards in my collection and have never subbed to a TPG so that might also be something I'll look into in the coming year.

Oh, how I wish my Mantle had paper loss on the back and not the front!

My Kuzava, I purchased from a CDN seller, who was selling it for a great price, and with free shipping (IIRC?) so I bid on it and luckily won it.
I was hoping he had more, as, like what you mentioned, you'd buy those all day long, but unfortunately that was his only one. It is definitely one of my better P/U's.

Such a great eye for cards, Dean. Always impressed with the quality for the grade.
