PSA 8 1941 Play Ball Ted Williams (PSA Cert #05159693)


PSA 5 1909 T204 Ramly Walter Johnson (PSA Cert #90586922)


Hope they recover these remaining two, especially the Ramly WaJo.

Those grades are hilarious in comparison to what they'd receive today.

There was a time grading was not tethered to the ultramodern perfect (or altered) card and you didn't need to alter a vintage card to get an 8.

Right now the perp's face is matching his hands after being caught red-handed with the graded card loot.

I'd be glum too, if I'd just lost my job at a prestigious Best Western Plus.

Bright future ahead for Jacob as a busy Brain Surgeon.

Could anyone make an appropriate baseball card for this turd? Do I hear an Elf giggling in the bullrushes.

Darren (JollyElm) came up with a pretty good prototype for a possible card in post # 908.

Doesn't Topps Now have one coming out 1 of 1 PSA 10?

I'd say today, the Williams might get a NM 7 and the Johnson a 4 VG-EX at best.

Not to beat them up because those are examples of grading at that time but the Williams might be a 6 today and yeah the Johnson is closer to VG and that VG-EX.

Maybe that's what they would get today but they've become way too harsh. They overgraded years ago and now they undergrade so my assessments are right in the middle.

[Exhibitman]

Damn, Darren, I want one of those! But I think you should # to 54, one for each card this assclown stole.

I see that the perp is a young, fat, slovenly white guy...in other words, a typical card show attendee.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Highly intelligent move, asking a friend to hang onto them. Like the police would never think of that.

Well I think you pretty much nailed it, except for the “young” part.

Yeap, that would be a normal hobby lineup.

Well we only have today and the future and at least to me the future is not defined. I was not supporting the grading standard's today. Simply stating an observation. It might only get more tight from here.

Each time they change their standards you and I should meet here and compare those old grades to the present grades.

Apparently, Memory Lane likes to "freshen up" the old slabs for their auctions too. I had to leave one of my winning cards behind because they told me they "got a bad batch of slabs". The card looked worse than it did in the scans (of course you know that from experience) as the "baggie" surround looks like it was baked at 1000 degrees and the back of the case had about 50 stress cracks in it as well. Bad batch, LOL. They said they have a standing appointment with PSA and that it will get shipped back to me in a couple of weeks. . irvine is right around the corner. I'm sure it will look much better?

There is ZERO chance of that happening as Monday is a Holiday,

Gulp, I bid on that Ted Williams but did not win. I feel bad for the sellers and the ones trying to buy the cards. That said, they delivered my '52 Topps Mays in a nice wooden case. If I could only get their logo off the case it would be great.

It appears some (all?) of the cert numbers have been deactivated on the PSA registry. Anyone have experience with what may happen next in that regard?

What's your best guess?

If you are referring to the 54 cards that had been stolen and now recovered, I think it would be obvious that PSA would activate the certs again.

Damn it, I wanted to hear his guess first.

Sorry...I really did not. I will yield to you next time, deal?
