Top cards that I used to own - Let's see them

I've noticed that these threads are not at all cathartic, just painful to me

1) Wilt's Fleer rookie SGC 84

2) 1952 Topps Willie Mays SGC 60

I have no photos, just scars

I hand carried this baby to PSA and waited while this one and my 53 were graded. I still have the 53 and miss this beauty greatly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think this Mantle was crossed over to a different grading companies slab. Still a beauty though.

Wow Phil. Those are some real beauties

No idea. I sold it to a gentleman back East that was going to use it in one of his breaks as a prize or something like that. I don't recall his name, but he spoke like I should have recognized him as he thought he was some type of celebrity or something. I don't know, as I didn't try to keep up with it. All I know is he paid immediately and I shipped it to him. I never heard from him again.

I don't think I will ever own another and sure do miss this card. I wish I had it back, but needed the cash at the time for a remodel I was doing.

Here's a picture of the back. It had a little paper loss on the back, but was a sweet card overall.

Also I've included a picture of the 53 that was graded at the same time. I still have it.

Bought it in the late, 90's - for $75.
Sold it a while back for $625.

Still wish I had it though.

Looks like an upscale version of the one I still own Ben. I like to brag that I can readily identify the back as a Piedmont.

Nooooooo. Why would you move such an awesome card, unless you upgraded of course?
