I think that might be fading due to sunlight. The very top of the background is fairly close to the original orange color.

An unusual foray into pre-war for me, first Goudey pickups for my personal collection. Crazy to me that these are the same grade. Nothing about the backs explains it. Earnshaw looks like a 2.5 at best to me, Durham 4 or even 5. Any thoughts?

I was pleased to get this silhouette version of Speaker.

.. There were no half-grades at P S A for many many years . The grader had to give it a "2" or a "3". Count your blessings on that one.
Us veterans of the grading-is-god era out here , well , we've most of us have given up second-guessing the wide wide world of the older PSA 2, PSA 3, and PSA 4. The graders see things that we peasants do not see , and they have standards that tie their hands. Eye appeal versus that little number up in the corner can give us buyers out here a really good deal sometimes. On these two , ya done good , kid.

Enjoy.

Nice pickup, Jim!

A long long time searching for these very early 1939-1946 Salutation Exhibits in higher-end condition ; got really really lucky. :

These two have been on my list since Covid so I was pumped to snag my first tobacco cards last night. Maybe I overpaid for the Cobb but looks awesome. Now to wait for the mail…

[Epps]

Been searching for this guy for quite a while. Happy to cross this Buck off of the list.
