Yeah that 76 Yount would look right at home if the sticker said 10, but we all know the dif btw the best 9s and any 10 is just the mood of a grader that day. Would much rather have the 9 as a collector.

You never see those Derby cards. The cool thing about that one is the photo captures a side of him that's cool and edgy, not just the smiling portrait so prevalent in that era.

That Brett would be a LOCK 9 or shot at 10 without that PD up top; regardless it is one of the nicer examples. No tilt. Left-right is just gorgeous.

Kept sifting through ebay like an old gold-miner last night came up on some more hidden gems... Bench will sit flat in holder when tapped and look sick; paying for an 8 or 9 would make me feel like a fool after seeing this 6 look the same for a mere fraction... Never saw a 75 Schmidt without PD... And have always loved every aspect of the 1980 Ryan-- colors, image, All Star banner...
