New Acquisitions Thread

[Exhibitman]

You can ask for no qualifiers; I didn't. I've seen worse 7's than the Mahovlich but the really irksome thing is that the Mahovlich is a better card than the Hall but would grade a straight 6 if the qualifier was removed. To me, really, both are near mint cards. The Cheevers for that matter should be a 9 oc. I'd rather that than a 6.

Which is why I usually just buy slabbed hockey rather than self-submitting; better control over what I get.

This is how I do it now - learned the hard way.

On another note, here is a recent pickup:

I know it's a football ticket but... it is Hobey Baker's last game!

Right on. That Mahovlich is a joke. What a beautiful card. And the Cheevers is definitely O/C.

About 18 months ago I submitted three OPC Tony Esposito RC's. Got a 9, 7 o/c, and a 6. All cards I had since I was a kid. The o/c was barely, and all three looked sharp.

Comparing your Mahovlich to the Cheevers, they missed the boat as to what one was o/c.

Nice cards anyway...
