Wow!
What I find amazing is that this card was waiting in the wings for someone to eventually get graded......or I guess it could have been a PSA or SGC 9 re-submit.
A thing of beauty, just like Sandy's arm. Thanks for sharing, Peace, Mike PS I actually have a 1955 Topps wax pack graded a 4.5 for some rips and holes but it is labeled as the Koufax series so hopefully someday that pack yields a card in the middle just like this! I know.......dream on! Last edited by vthobby; 02-04-2015 at 12:25 PM. |

You know ...
I am really out of tune with my hobby! I see a card like this and my first thought is ... OMG, what an abomination! I don't see a desirable card. I see a horrifically, undesirable one.
Why? No, it's not price (although those are carzy in my opinion). No it's because I think ... what would it have taken to get a card like this all these years later? Answer: A freak of a kid who did not play with or enjoy cards, or someone who has destroyed card history by cutting apart an uncut sheet. In either case, the back story on the card is such that I would never want it in my collection. Sheldon Cooper can keep his cards. I'll go after the ones that Indiana Jones collected. |

An absolute beauty, but would love to hear the story behind it!

Go Go, PSA. A card that would sell for a few hundred bucks, hand it to a guy who stares at it under a loupe for 30 seconds, deems a "10", and boom, you have a $50,000 card!
Really nice card, but a ten?

GEM-MT 10: Gem Mint
A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card. Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss. A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn't impair the overall appeal of the card. The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse. MINT 9: Mint A PSA Mint 9 is a superb condition card that exhibits only one of the following minor flaws: a very slight wax stain on reverse, a minor printing imperfection or slightly off-white borders. Centering must be approximately 60/40 to 65/35 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.

I guess that I'm a weirdo because I have lots of unopened packs from the 50's and 60's. Maybe the pack before contained the last card he needed for his set, so he didn't want to open a pack that would have all duplicates.

Well put! No one I have ever met was able to tell the difference by just looking. I also think the grading companies are more willing to give a 10 the more money you spend with the company.

I think this card was a CSA 8 and PSA crossed it over
