Buy the slab, not the flip.

Buy the card, not the black apron.

More words to live by...When cracking a slab, don't throw the insert out with the bath water.

Jim- that’s an eclectic group! I’d imagine graders enjoy the variety, different things to evaluate. Well done. Trent King

Love the space rocket card. I recently got into golden/silver age sci-fi comic books, especially those with cool covers like your card there.

That Stonewall Jackson is mesmerizing! Wow! Nice stuff!

Thanks, Mike. That Stonewall card was an antique store find. I probably paid too much, but the condition for a 1911 card was fabulous and the T68 set is highly collectible. So many great cards in that set. The colors really do pop against that black insert. That card is definitely one that I keep looking at in amazement.

Thanks, Phil. My son is into space stuff (Astronomy major) so when I saw that card, I was intrigued. Found out that the Tip Top space set is a highly collected set of the era and that Rocket Freighter card is a short print. A PSA 2 of that card sold last year for $511 so I was really hoping for a 2 on this one even though it’s rough. A 1.5 has got to still be worth something though!

Thanks, Trent. It is a varied group for sure. I keep telling myself that I don’t collect non-sports cards and then I see something and I’m like “man, I like that!”
