March Pickups

Nice Nellies. During the last few weeks I have been rebuilding my 1950's card collection. In an effort to fund my 71 Bucs memorabilia purchases I sold many of the cards I originally had. As you can see I'm not partial to any one TPG and prefer mid grade cards that I find visibly appealing and affordable. I think the Mantle BVG 4 has great eye appeal and is comparable to the PSA 6 Clemente. for that reason I briefly considered selling the Clemente to upgrade it. I decided against it. The 55 Mays SGC 80 is an upgrade.

Those are some sharp cards Mike!

Thanks Lou! I have been buying memorabilia for so long I forgot how much I enjoy the 1950s cards.

Does the messed up photo affect the overall value much?

Nice haul, mike!!

The 56 Mick and 'Berto are 2 of my favorite cards of all time. Nice cards!

A Nellie Fox to start the month. Nice looking Nellie for sure!

Mike those are some visually appealing mid-grade cards you landed. A Mantle, Mays and Clemente no less. A great start to the month of March.

So I just got this in the mail. Does anyone think it's worth trying to cross this over to SGC? How is this not higher than 7?

Wow! Impressive Bowman Jackie Robinson. You have been quite busy. I am most envious. I have never submitted a card to a TPG and if that Jackie was mine I think I would leave it in its current slab.

Beautiful card, but I have to agree on the grade. I'd be afraid it would come back a 6 if cracked and resubmitted due to the corners.

Thanks to a board member.
