One from the Strongsville show -- technically the last days of March, but just now got around to scanning it. Been surprisingly tough to find a nice one...

I bought a small collection and was thrilled to end up with a pretty clean one of these. (Curious what you think it would grade as.)
Ended up with many other HOFers and commons from era, but this was by far the biggest score of the bunch. ![]() Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Not an easy find so I'll live with the centering. Amazing color in hand.

Yeah it happens, don't feel bad. I have a '61 #578 All Star that I got a few months ago that in retrospect I paid a bit too much for. It's a PSA 5, but is centered perfectly. "A perfectly centered Mantle" I keep telling myself. Most of the time that works...

Straight PSA 9 1974 Topps Dave Winfield rookie cards (too bad there wasn't a 'Washington Nat'l Lea.' version) regularly go for over $500, but I grabbed this one up for less than a tenth of that, and the centering isn't too crazy at all...
1974winfield456psa9oc.jpg And holy heck!!!!!!!!!! Most people don't realize how hard (read impossible!) it is to find a centered 1972 Killer In Action card (I started a thread about it some time back, so I'll go back and resuscitate it). 99.99999% of them are found way off centered and/or tilted. This one could very well be the best centered version of the card I have ever seen, and I jumped on it quicker than a puppy on a pork chop!!!!!!!!!! No tilt, no tilt, no tilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1972killebrew52psa8mine.jpg

Could not resist the centering and image quality on this one to fill a big hole in my 1-310 run. Down to 18 now.

Great card! I have been shopping for the same card myself. Looking for a mid grade black back, but hard to come by lately.
