Wow John...there must something wrong on the back of that 53 Jackie?? Tremendous 1.5!!!
Well, I am at the stage where I've built all my Topps sets...super satisfying yet unsatisfying. I tried to build second sets...I have a few done, a few half done...just wasn't the same. I thought of selling then building again, maybe pick up a big card or something fun...but naw, I love the work I've done and still enjoy looking through my sets (and the constant upgrading is fun). So I have delved into the world of slightly oddball...I say slightly as on this forum oddball is a whole other subject I can't comprehend...haha...Anyway...I have just started collecting the 1964 Topps Giants...SGC 7 and higher. I know the sets story, and yet they continually gain value even with the flood of high end cards. So late to the game, but having fun getting going. Picked up one of the key cards...Willie Mays SP...it's a beauty. Once completed, no idea what will be next but I will find something fun...it's all about the hunt. Time to thin the herd on my secondary sets and started sets as well. Anyhow...64 Giants, here I come!!!

March (Madness) Pickups Thread
Quote:
What's odd on this card, and not sure if you can see it on this scan or not - is that across the top border, on both the front and back - there is an indent / straight line - almost as if the blade that cut the card came down in the wrong place lightly, didn't cut it - and then came back up. OR it's like a pencil line drawn by a child using a straight ruler. But if a kid or someone else did that, they did it exactly the same on the front and back, which I think is unlikely. I honestly can't tell which it is. I'm assuming this is what is responsible for the grade. I was grateful for the 1.5; figured there was a decent chance this would only get an Authentic. But yes, great looking card - presents a lot more like a 3+ than a 1.5. There is some light bending and wrinkles on the front which would have held it up anyway, but they are hard to see.

John...I hear you on getting a grade over Authentic...I've been subbing my 50's bigger cards here lately to SGC and have received a few A's, even on numbered PSA crossovers...but...wow, still not seeing 1.5 on that. Either way...just a fantastic card. I just subbed a 54, 55, and a 56 Jackie...hoping to get 1's, maybe a 2 on my 55 but doubt it. Your 53 blows them away...haha.
Picked up another 64 Giant...really loving these...

Nice pickup. The '64 Giants are beautiful cards, but I have always had a hard time getting onboard with oddball sizes.
