Decided to scan some of 52 H/N cards.

Edit: Didn't know it was the "Autograph" that was graded and not the card. It was explained to me, Blue signifies autographs and Red signifies cards.

Signed Mantle sighting, on about 7 graded! Very tough card!














A gorgeous...2!

Very nice cards, RM, and X2 on a very nice 2! That is by far the nicest 2 I believe I have seen?

Did you only ask for your Archie Wilson to be authenticated or is that the way it came back from PSA?

My Reese has a line/crease just under his nose and almost the full width of the card, but it has no damage on the back? I guess I had better scan the back just to verify but have you ever come across something like this before?

I believe the Wilson was graded before the would numerically grade signed cards. It would not be better than a PSA 1 with the paper loss on the upper corner so no reason to waste hard earned money sending it back in.

If yo' Reese, has a crease..or a hairline paper wrinkle, it won't get better than a psa 3 in my experience.

Thanks for the info.


The line/crease across Reese's face is hardly noticeable but I agree with you, PSA or SGC would definitely notice it and would likely grade it accordingly.

I didn't think it'd be worthy of a send in/grade either.

How come your card is also graded? (Unless it's a joke, which I believe it likely is) In this link, pg 5, it is just the autograph that is authenticated but there is no grade on the actual autograph/card.

What am I missing here because it's beyond obvious your card itself is no wheres near that number/grade.

Scanned some lower numbered cards today and I must say, my scanner, for some reason turns the borders grey/dirty looking for some reason? The borders (most) in hand under good lighting, are much whiter than these look like.
I am however still amazed at the small details, when full blown up, how much this scanner does pick up.

Really having a hard time with what cards to get graded? I think these, or at least some of these, are worth getting graded, but they are low numbers, so I assume it likely isn't worth it, especially considering the exchange rate, shipping, insurance etc?

Also, received some bad news today. My Uncle had quite a few H/N 52 Topps cards as well, including, from what I can remember, a great condition #407 Mathews! He told my Father today, he sold all of them a few years ago to some collector in the Belleville area? I have no idea what he got for them, but my Dad didn't think it was any more than a few hundred dollars!

You win some you lose some, but I remember telling him years ago, that if he was ever going to sell them, be sure to let me know.
