Default My Biggest Card Purchase EVER (by Far)-1951 Bowman Willie Mays RC *Update w/SGC Grade
Just wanted to share by most expensive but more importantly favorite cards of all time, this will be part of my "Mt. Rushmore" of cards I own. I don't see any creases, the corners are soft, but everything else looks great and I sent it to SGC for authentication/grade (Hoping for a 4 but we shall see, you never know). Enjoy!

In the olden days, that would be an EX+/NM. It's outstanding.

Default Thanks
Thanks again for all the kind words, the card was returned today by SGC with the grade I wanted (and thought it deserved). Still on Cloud nine and can't believe I own this card. Enjoy! -Pat
