Tell us which lesser-known 1960's cards to have graded...

I'm submitting all three versions of 1960 Leaf #58 Hal Smith: regular, no team, team blacked out. I'm actually not sure why now that I see it in print.

There are dozens of cards from each year that fall into this category....albeit for varying reasons. Cards like the 61 242 and 64 103 Flood were not always tough cards, until several collectors began passionately collecting copies of these two cards...this passionate collecting drove the PSA prices up.

About 15 years ago, I finished my 62 set completely graded. I can remember buying smaller lots of PSA cards in order to complete the set.

Within a week I won two 10+/- card 62 T PSA lots. One lot had a PSA 7 323 Landrum included, this card is notoriously tough in 7 or higher due to centering. Recently (15 years later) a PSA 7 sold for nearly $70, while a PSA 6 for less than $2.

The second lot had a 62 301 Cisco PSA 8 card embedded in it...at one point an 8 of this card was selling for $300+. Greg Morris recently sold a raw NM copy of this card for $32+.

In both cases these cards individually were worth more than what I paid for each lot, otherwise I would probably still need these two cards as it would have been hard to shell out that amount for these two "common" cards.

While both of these cards are "commons" undgraded, they are anything but commons graded. What is amazing is that even with submitters knowing these cards are low pops and submitting them numerous times over the years subsequently increasing the pops, the value has stayed consistent.

Haha, go for it!

I would say send in your 1966 Cash and Freehans. I can never win nice ones from Greg Morris, they always get bid up. I bid on a low grade Cash a while back but it ended up selling for $18.

Any suggestions for 1965 Topps?

Back in the 70s when I worked for a baseball card seller, one card we had problems finding in really nice shape was the 1963 Topps Mets team card #473. When we did run across one, it usually sold right away.

I agree this is a tough one from the 1965 set. It’s always OC.

I've got one with some pretty good centering...






Unfortunately, it not a Topps...




My Topps is 90/10 R/L

Thanks for the tip. I pulled out my binder to take a look at my #22 to see if it was worth submitting and....

...it's just a bit off-center.
