Those are spectacular OJ's, as nice as they come, and of course it's disconcerting to see they received such low grades. One day the system will be improved.

Yes the TPGs are paper and cardboard stock graders, not card graders - a point that Barry has raised in the past. This is never more obvious than in the case of Old Judges.

These put me about halfway there...

Well, 58 down and 86 to go. I was pretty happy to get this nice example of a very low population card.

happy to get it

that is a nice T205 collins and I thought you got a quality buy on it. I had picked up a PSA 4 the week before or I would have chased it pretty hard... honestly the A would have fit my set better. I do think the Collins/Mouth Open is a great card for long-term appreciation. Great pickup, nice strong image.

Jim--Those are beautiful cards, congratulations. It's a great set, isn't it?
