That's one way to look at it, but honestly the images most burned into my brain from those days are the 1965 Topps, with the nice colors, rounded frame and the team banner flapping in the breeze. That's peak nostalgia for me.

I agree! The 1965 Topps set is very pretty indeed.

I have more nostalgia for the 1959 and 1960 Topps cards though because they constituted my introduction to Baseball cards in the schoolyard. Plus the 1962 Canadian Post Cereal, 1962 and 1963 Topps which I collected avidly as a kid.

Thanks for the update. I wonder how much traction PSA gets from submitting offers on the PSA vaulted items.

Jupiter, what was the discount offered off of the stated PSA value?

The PSA offers on vaulted items are usually 10-15% below their "PSA Est." They also quote a Card Ladder price that is similar. Sometimes the offers are better, and since they don't take any additional fee, I will jump at such an offer.

Hi Jupiter and congratulations on selling your cards.

I guess you are now like a wanna be cowboy - all hat and no cattle.

What is your intent with the hobby - staying, collecting, investing? That interests me as you have sold your collection but desire to stay in the hobby.

No offense, and I can see where someone would just be involved because they enjoy card collecting.

No, not quite hanging it up yet. I am keeping my first complete set, 1966, and now building one I didn't have complete, 1965. So I still have some nice pieces of the collection to enjoy, and more to chase.
