Satchel Paige Cards?

[juangris311]

I don't own a ton of vintage baseball cards but I do have a stash of 1953 Topps Satchel Paige. The SGC's are probably going to be crossed over to PSA at some point. The artwork and card design of the Satch 53 can't be beat.

Nice cards Jon. That card has grown on me over the years. For my project, I can remember a few years ago seeing signed ones go for $800-1,100, occasionally as high as $1,200-1,400, and I just never pulled the trigger. Now, one just sold in the last REA for $3,500.

I completely agree. But that less than 1% chance is fun to consider.

Yeah, the card size with those images doesn't feel right.

Thank you, sir. I was watching that same REA signed card but couldn't stretch that high. Beautiful card. Maybe some day.
