April Pickups

David, what am I missing on the Snider? I was just looking at a '54 Topps Aaron rookie Peter showed in he pickup thread on the pre-ward. It was a PSA 5.5. I know that scans can lessen the appearance of creases or wrinkles, but both his Aaron and your Snider look much better than the grades they received.

Michael, that is a gorgeous example of one of my all-time favorite cards. The '53 Bowman set, for me, is unparalleled in vintage, and that card is one of the best in the set. And those borders are really nice and white.

I don't know Bill. It looks great to me!

A couple very low dollar cards but I do think I got a deal/steal on the 1965 Batting leaders card?

It sure does.

If PSA is being overly tough grading, that will benefit people like me. If I can get a 5 or a 6 that looks like a 6 or a 7, that's a win win for me.

Absolutely. There are some great 6s and even 5s out there these days at a very steep discount to the higher grades.

Completely agree Bill. We buy the card, not the grade.

David, that's a nice Lou Brock! HoFr at a fraction of Willie Mays!
