New pickup... '58 Brooks... grade help?
Cross-post from Blowout... please let me know if this kind of thread is discouraged here...
So I have 47 cards that I want to get graded. In an effort to get to 50 and use the PSA $6 May special, I went to the terrible little card/coin shop near my office. I was basically looking for something I could pick up, grade, and get out of without losing money. I found this... I am curious what you guys think this would grade out at... then I will tell you what I paid. Sorry if either of the pictures shows up upside down... photobucket is AWFUL. Cheers, PP |

If the card is crease free, appears to be a high 5 or 6.

Brooks
I am a BR fan but that has to be one of his worst photos. The card however is a nice one. I am not a fan of imprisoning card in plastic , so I defer to others on that

My 58 Brooks has centering issues. I am looking for an upgrade but many of the cards that I have seen - even slabbed in a psa 6 holder have similar left to right issues. Yours isn't as bad as mine or what I have seen but there must have been something going on with the sheet because so many of these BR's have the same tendency.

I'm a Brooks fan as well. I personally really like the '58 card, the sky blue background, the card style w/the cool O's logo, only if Topps selected a different pose (was this the best picture they had?!?). Still a great 2nd year card.
I'm not big on slabbing, but I'd say it's a 6 possibly. By the way...does anyone know who has the '58 Topps card artwork or transparency for this card? Real cool items... |

What is going on in the upper left corner? It is hard to tell from the scan whether it is a scratch, crease, paper loss, or something else. It could just be the scan though.

His prices are all fairly similar (mostly EX to NrMt prices for G cards) and mostly condition indifferent. The key is just to find the nicest condition cards. He has a '56 Mantle gray back that is somewhere between poor and fair... would be lucky to pull a 2 from PSA. He has it listed at $500. But then I bought a Seaver RC off him for $300 that was Ex-Mt+. I think I have just about picked him clean at this point. I know. The picture is one of the worst ever on a baseball card. That is why I like it! I do like how you can see the flannel of the jersey though, so much more character than today's uniforms. |

If any of you are big Brooks fans the new biography by Doug Wilson titles BROOKS is really good!
Not many athletes in his class as a human being. |
