That is a beautiful card, sir.

1958 Topps Rival Fence Busters PSA 6



Wrote up an article on the show where I bought it, including a few observations on the hobby gleamed from the show:

A Veteran Collector’s Observations On The Hobby After Attending A Small Local Card Show

My first takeaway was I can't believe 1987 was 37 frickin' years ago!!!
As Scooby would say, "YOINKS!!!"

It was nice to read about the tone of the negotiations and the veritable good deal you got from a clearly decent guy. There are plenty of reports of sellers who stick like barnacles to their (often ridiculous) prices, but it's nice to hear about some of the good guys.

A nice read!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the read. Yes, after I got past the shine of all the modern cards, there was some good for sure at the show.

And yes, in a hobby where everyone (except on Net 54) seems to have been at this since way back in 2020, 1987 feels like a LONG time ago!
