Glen,

Just like in the Wierd Al song, "I found it on ebay." Unfortunately, the signatures are part of the photo design. They aren't actual autographs.

Awesome card for the grade, Doug. Why just a 2?

Thanks! There are two very faint wrinkles that run diagonally from the "P" on his hat to where it says "Pittsburgh" at the bottom, but they are literally so faint that you have to hold the card at an angle under a light to see them. It looks like a nice 4 otherwise, but at the price of a 2.

Actually, if the eye appeal was taken into consideration I don't see why it couldn't be a 3, but it's probably not worth resubmitting since the grading fees and shipping charges both ways would probably be as much as the difference in price between a 2 and a 3.

Love the Clemente, I still need that for my registry.

Picked up this beautiful Clemente though:

Going to try posting my first pic, the photo tilt is off but other than that pretty sharp IMO:

Some very very nice cards already in this thread, but I am pretty proud of this grouping...not to mention that it was fun to do some card shopping for the first time in a great while. Here's the list, including its relevant sub-collection. Scans to come shortly.

1965 Topps Lou Brock (PSA 8)(Post-war HOFer collection) Gorgeous colors
1970 Johnny Bench (PSA 7)(Post-war HOFer collection) classic pose
1970 Rios (raw) (bat rack collection)
1985 Thorn Apple Valley Ron Cey (PSA 8.5) (Ron Cey Player collection) love that batting stance
1962 Topps Ken Hubbs (PSA 7) (Handley Collection) a special family connection
1963 Topps Ken Hubbs (PSA 5) (Handley Collection) a special family connection
1978 Toppe Reggie Jackson PSA 9 (Post-war HOFer collection) one of the top 3 cards of the 1970s

[Doug]

Great cards!

I am not entirely sure, and this might derail this thread, but I would vote for the 78 Jackson because of the incredible classic image is completely representative of who Jackson was, and it followed his classic performance.

I would also include the 1971 Thurman Munson because that too was a great image that completely represented how he went about things.

Then last, I would vote for the 1973 Johnny Bench or maybe the 1977 Pete Rose...having trouble there...

Your thoughts?
