these cards are just so fundamental to me. they're deeply powerful in how they were distributed and accessed/accessible. and perhaps that contributes to their perceived market valuation now.

would love to hear your thoughts.

I literally just bought this DiMaggio raw for $36 along with an Eddie Matthews. I'll send it off at the end of the month to SGC. I know it wont grade better than Authentic but I want it slabbed and preserved. I will try and sell the Matthews as I am not a Braves fan.
