Those are some gorgeous raw '60s, John. Were they an eBay find?

They were. The Aaron was MUCH better in hand than the cruddy scan and all three of those were "Best Offer" and I had to go pretty strong. Several from above were auction wins. I look daily of course (who am I kidding, many times a day...lol) and a couple were recent listings. The Clemente is a bit OC, but with corners like that I'm ok with that. If OC, must be sharp, and corners can be somewhat soft, but I can't tolerate creases. I keep that uniform in all my sets...
Thanks btw! Campyfan...that's my favorite Ted of all time, great pick up!

Thanks John!
We finally had a card show in Raleigh today. Nothing to write home about but I picked up all these for $145. 23 more for my 1954 topps set and a few 71's to round out a display.

I am amazed, though I should not be, at the value of this card. A rookie of the most important athlete of the postwar 20th century should command a high price.

Thanks Adam, and I agree. And I think this is a better looking card than the “48” Leaf too, which is twice as much (and is 1-2 years later than the Bond). I have both, but this one is infinitely cooler.

I agree; I never even considered the Leaf because I always thought it was ugly. Wouldn't mind a 49 Bowman, though. Between JR and Doby and Paige and Campy, that's one hell of a group of African-American players in that set.

Sorry about that Andrew, but I’m glad you found a nice one (and selfishly glad I beat you ). And Adam, the 49 Bowman set is a powerhouse. I picked up a raw Paige recently because it’s such a great looking card with the slate blue background. Again, much cooler than the 48 Leaf (that is so far out of my price range now).

Robinson's Leaf RC is the 2nd most important post war baseball card after the 1952 Topps Mantle. The last PSA 7 sold for 79k. The last PSA 8 sold for 400k. It doesn't matter if it is ugly, the 1952 Topps Mantle is uglier and that didn't stop someone from paying over 5 million for one. Both are iconic and the choices of the majority of collectors. That is what drives the price.
