I have two high numbers from 1952 that are supposed to arrive Saturday. I will post them in the pick up thread here. It will be my 3rd or 4th time posting in a row on there, sort of like you in the boxing pick-ups thread. Seriously though, I have an SFHess boxing or 2 and need to find and scan them over there.

Careful, I try not to hijack other boards into boxing cards but I can only resist so much. Share those Hesses!

My notes show my last post-war baseball pickup was 3 months ago, which must be a record. I'm a bum.

858. “You Shoulda Put a Number On It”
The dismayed reaction to someone hyping an ungraded card they’re trying to sell, which makes you wonder, “If it’s so great, why didn’t you have it graded...like every single other card you sell??”


The 'problem' with buying ungraded these days is it seems that a huge number of sellers are now sending in everything to be graded (and reap the rewards from it), so when you run across something NOT in a plastic tomb (especially if it's a more valuable card), you need to be careful and wonder, "What am I not seeing here??"
