Help identifying less obvious 1950s good cards
Hey guys. I am meeting up with my dad this upcoming weekend and we are going to go through his cards to get some graded. I haven't looked through them in close to 10 years, and none of them are going to be like 9s and 10s, but he has a lot of good cards. Mostly from like 53-56. He has a few from 1952 as well and a few from 1957. No Mantles though.
I guess my question is aside from the obvious players that we will separate, are there any hard or hidden gem cards I should be on the lookout for? I know that crazy guy tried to corner the market on a random 1952 card. Aside from that, are there any sequences or hard to find cards of players that would make a John Doe valuable that I would not otherwise know? We have around 500 cards maybe, and we are going to send some in for grading. I already know the one that will get the most groans: A Koufax rookie that literally looks like it was crumpled up and thrown in the garbage. Last edited by Tennis13; 05-27-2017 at 10:30 PM. |

Look for the 1952 Topps Johnny Sain card with the wrong bio on the back. If it has Joe Page's bio, then that's the card.
I once bought a bunch of 1952 Topps commons which included the Johnny Sain card. At the time, I knew nothing about the wrong bio version. I later sold each card individually on eBay. Before I sell a card I usually research it to see if its a rookie or anything else. I was pretty shocked when I saw that I had the error version of the card. It was a raw card (which I should have graded) but it sold for $265 back in 2009. I think that makes a lot of sense that you are doing your research before sending the cards out to be graded. Good luck! Last edited by Buythatcard; 05-28-2017 at 07:25 AM. |

1952 Topps #131-190 Gray backs and 1954 Topps #1-50 Gray backs.
These are rather rare and bring quite a premium. If you have some 54's LMK. |

Schmutz on the last E in Eugene, too. Even the W middle initial looks bad. I don't own one but wouldn't mind having one for my master set. Would I enjoy paying top dollar for one? Heck to the no.
