Just wanted to introduce myself.....

I collected cards in the mid 70's to about 91 or so. I just stored them all for the last 20+ years. Don't know how many I have, maybe 10 to 15,000 I guess.

I was a big Phillies fan as a kid and M.Schmidt was my favorite player. I have a rookie card of him and it's in good condition. I figured that I wanted to get a Mint card. And started to look. Now keep in mind that I never heard of PSA and all of the grading company's etc. When I looked I was shocked at the value. I figured it would cost me maybe $500 or so for the card.

I really know nothing about collecting nowadays. It's all so new to me. I am so impressed with what I have seen from all of you. It's amazing.

I am on the lookout for a 1973 M.Schmidt rookie PSA 9, or SGC equal. (I believe those are the two most respected).

Thank you, and take care.

and may I suggest you try on a T206 for size....

Pick up a beater T206 for $ 20.00 on the B/S/T section .....pre war cards...1909-1911 T206.....there are 520 to the set
(minus a few very expensive ones)....these are really cool cards and were pulled out of various tobacco packs/brands back in 1909-1911.. and a lot of us members here collect them....I will help you with any purchases, just email, or pm me...

Peace

Maybe pick up a couple Phillies. Most of them are common, so they're not very expensive. Just don't try for some guy named Magie, at least not right away.
