I actually like how this one is cut…with basically no top border. Kinda looks on purpose-ish.

David, I haven’t decided yet, but I think eventually yes. Right now, I’m trying to be patient, keeping my open for opportunities to buy nice copies if they come up for sale.

Any chance that 57 is for sale??

This is something we notice only because of the world of professional grading. Who the hell cares about back centering anyway?

Awesome cards Ian and Phil.

My impromptu pickup of the night.

Very nice. Mine is centered as well and has sharper corners, but has a bit more tilt than that. Very difficult to find centered with no tilt.

Good stuff, Phil. The picture on that Berra is so clear.
I think the 57 Ted Williams is a very underrated card. An aging superstar, still capable of a 1.257 OPS that year!!

Thanks John. I'm looking forward to getting it in hand.

Need to rename this month "May....s"...

[Dandor]

After 15 months at PSA I finally got back my last bulk order. Nothing great, but still worth the $12 to grade. That is my second Winfield PSA 7 in consecutive returns.

[Marchillo]

Big order back from PSA today. Sorry for the modern baseball and Warriors in the photos. A bunch of nice adds to my signed HOF rookie card collection. Will need a new case to fit it all.

A bit of an eclectic month for me. The 67s are for my set, now just 6 cards away. The 71s are OPC, another set I'm building but at a glacial pace because they are so difficult to come by like this. Even picked up a couple of pre-war cards that I just couldn't resist.

I hope everyone takes a minute to realize how difficult it is to find that 604 Red Sox team card that looks as nice as that one. Beautiful cards all around!

As always, gorgeous cards everyone. Here's my latest big card!

Beautiful card, Matthew - looks like a PSA 5 or better!!

[maj78]

I was able to grab this one at a show over the weekend.

Just need Perez to finish the 1971 Topps Greatest Moments set

[Joeybats]

Picked this up this week. Couldn’t pass up since I collect these. This one is available for trade if anyone is interested as I already have another.

[wondo]

Classic rarity - that few have seen or care about! My kind of card.

[Casey2296]

Congrats John, some great cards in that set. Is that an owners stamp on the front?

[DeanH3]

I guess I needed another one. lol!

Nice. 2s can be decent

From OC and sharp, to low grade and (much better) centering:

Love that Reggie RC. My kind of card (weaker corners, with solid centering).
I'm closing out my month of Mays with a pickup from a net54 member.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday weekend, while also remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country...

[gustomania]

Wanted a nice low grade copy for a while

I understand the technical grading rules around pin holes, but WOW...a 1 just doesn't feel right on that card. An absolute stunner!

I had been looking for a centered example of this card for years.

Well worth the wait. That is an absolute stunner!!! Congrats.

Great pickup. Certainly presents much higher than a 1.

[Mike D.]

1970 Topps PSA 7's are a lot more expensive than they were a few years ago...

[Mike D.]

Off-Centered, obviously, but nicer than several PSA 5's I looked at (and a lot cheaper). I now have a Topps Williams run from '55-58.

Very nice. I love the action shot on that card, but every time I look at it - it takes me a second or so to pick Carlton out from the crowd, LOL.
