Stayed up late to win this 1949 Bowman Lou Boudreau. I really like the color here.

It's been an amazing month for me - I was so happy to pick up the 1954 Topps Gray Back Robinson, and just got these back from PSA on Friday. These two cards are arguably the two toughest / most difficult to obtain in the entire set, with only the Throwing variation rivaling them.
Now that I have two of each, I'm not sure which of the two I'm gonna sell - my previous 2 which stem from a long-time Dodgers collector, or these two. Will have a listing in the BST section later this week. Both cards are from the same person - who happened to be the original owner of the cards - having obtained them when she was a young girl in the 40s. I can't believe the condition that they are in - the grades do not represent their eye-appeal. Below is my favorite card in the set - an iconic image of Jackie, and the black and white makes it the most appealing of all his "RCs". He was actually wearing a Montreal hat at the time of the photograph, which was edited for this set to show him in a Dodgers hat. PSA 5 - Highest Graded 1 of 3 in this grade  The photo for the card below was actually shot in a stadium, though the background was taken out for this card - perhaps to avoid having other company's advertisements on the card? Of the 7 total cards graded / known, I've owned 3 of them  PSA 4 - 3 graded higher.

Shaun,
Too bad they didn't cross equally, but you seem thrilled regardless. Thought they would have ended higher. Perhaps the zero fb scared some away. Great cards! Congrats

I was shocked at the hammer price - particularly on the glove in air card - the last PSA3 to sell individually went for $7700 - I don't recall there ever being anything higher than a PSA3 being sold individually on the open market. The zero fb definitely had something to do with the hammer price - it's always a risk, but I felt comfortable after exchanging emails with the seller - and I do have to say, the story of these two particular cards and what they represented to the original owner really adds to their allure.

Here are a couple I needed for my upcoming "Top 100" display. The good news is I only need about 30 more cards. The bad news is that two of them are Ruth and Gehrig!
