Let's have a virtual card show, gridiron edition!

[LuckyLarry]

I like this idea of a virtual card show. With prices being so high right now, it's a good time to go through what we already have and enjoy it.

Here's the #2 set in the PSA Set Registry 1971 Topps Pin-Ups (which were inserted into wax packs). A few years ago I bought the full set PSA graded at our local card show for $100 which I thought was a heck of a deal. I think the dealer was tired of hauling them around because they take up a lot of room and weigh a ton. Now they sit in the back of my closet in a couple of boxes lol. I always thought they would look cool on a wall in a "man-cave". Plus these are now worth $2,500 in grading fees alone.

And yes I just confirmed this set remains #2 on the PSA Registry! (OK there are only two sets listed)

Picked this up today

I found this in a collection of miscellaneous stuff I bought. It was in one of those old snap tite holders that was so roached and brittle I assumed the card was trashed. The holder shattered in my hand but the card was beautiful.

This issue always spoke to me because of some of the great photography and the clear use of the team logos, which Topps didn't have the rights to use at the time.

I bought this one raw as a teenager 30+ years ago - always loved the Thorpe story and it was an expensive card for me at the time ($50??). It was one of my first PSA submissions over 20 years ago - this will be one of the last cards I would ever let go of, since I remember what a big deal it was to buy it as a young kid...

Nice card. A recent PSA 8 of this card sold for nearly $5K.

Thanks - I saw that. I know mine isn't the strongest 8 out there because of the centering, but I'm pretty happy with it in my collection!
