Great looking, Mays, Dave.

Wish I had more centered copies I could share, but I don't, without stretching the parameters even further of what I have already posted.

Love those Al. They don't look very low grade to me.

Yowzers! That's a rarely seen well centered copy.

Congrats.

A great thread. Some real centered beauties being shown. Here is my contribution.

I'm loving this thread, and thought I'd toss in a few more that just came back from PSA.

Very nice cards, all. That Mantle looks great, so does the Mays card. And I've been trying to find a Schoendienst as nice that for years, now I see it can be done.

Tom S and Sean, it's always a pleasure to see highlights from your collections.

..This Hank Sauer might be 50 / 50 both ways ?? -- Old Beckett graders hammered the final grade down because they considered early cardboard to have eight corners instead of 4 , and took a magnifying glass to new depths of pain and punishment.

This is the only one I have and the best part is, it has the wax pack stain

Your Sauer is a beautiful card, no matter the grade.

Great looking cards, guys. The Ritchie Ashburn, as Adam pointed out sometime ago, is a rather tough one for sure. Centered copies, if you can find them, definitely sell for a premium. I upgraded mine with this one as the price was right and I ran out of patience trying to find a more centered copy.

My Hank Sauer, (Posted earlier) although not as perfectly centered as Mike's also looks like it might have been graded on the harsh side as well, but the corners are definitely not pointy.

Nice card mine would not grade high with the wax pack stains
