Another high number found in an auction tonight: #380 Koshorek
A PSA 9 OC that's a little diamond cut (not my norm, nor is buying this grade for my set). No one else wanted it, despite the opening bid being just double what the raw grade 2 high numbers were selling for last week. That makes me feel like I'm really missing something. But reputable dealer and the card isn't on that massive PSA altered list that's been circulated. How often nowadays can you really get a high number like this (and especially for that price)? So I broke some of my protocols. 97/407 |

The Reiser maybe more than the House, Zach-- the variants can drive you nuts when you start down that path
Very nice Koshorek Given the Topps/Bowman fight over players the set is chock full of coaches, minor leaguers and not the be heard from again guys. Fortunately there are some great players as well. |

To find these odd ball guys signed is almost impossible, I can echo the sentiment!

I ended up with 200+ 52 Topps from the collection on a friend that pasted away I slowly add to it when I can. But it sure is a long road so good luck with your set.

Forrest Main above being returned. There is damage on the back (despite the "clean back" description for it and most of that seller's high numbers.) So it turns out the lack of scans of the backs in his listings is probably for reasons other than laziness. Given how eagerly people bid for his stuff, I was hoping that wasn't the case.
Adding to the list of sellers being avoided. No longer going to update here until I get something and it's as described and shown (as it appears my return rate on these '52s may be well higher than the norm) 96/407 Last edited by cardsagain74; 02-15-2020 at 11:30 AM. |

I learned my lesson the hard way bidding on a 52 Topps Larry Doby card that also didn't have a back scan. I was naive and took their word the card was VG but when I received the card, it had paper loss on the back.

Nice card......who cares about registry etc. Buy the card not the holder. What is interesting is the MC and OC on PSA are considered 2 grades lower but in reality price wise I have found it to be much lower than that...3-4 grades lower. You certainly got a great price, but i find interesting when a seller of OC/MC cards compares their card to what a card sold for that was 2 grades lower when in reality they really should be comparing to one that is 3-4 grades lower ...but registry is king apparently |

But people see the dreaded (OC) and run for the hills, regardless of what's inside the slab. Fine with me since I'm not concerned about those types of resale issues. These '52s aren't going anywhere, so just want the best cards for the best price. Speaking of shunned off-center material, those have been fun too. I expected to get some nice stuff at a noticeable discount that way, and that has happened so far. A grade 4-5 card that's 80/20 in one direction for the same price as a 2.5 with that much more worn look (but is 60/40ish)? I'll take that all day. |
