Young himself mentioned in one article that I read about the collection that he submitted a card (Don't remember which) multiple times asking a nine to be graded a ten. I just meant the price itself. Well, I know it's stupid high. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone saw that coming. Edit - just found this: http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/editors-blog-what-a-difference-a-grade-makes/ Consider the highest recorded sales of PSA 9s—all within the last four years and most within the last 19 months) compared to their PSA 10 counterparts in the SCP Auction. 1955 Topps Clemente $36,311 ($432,690) 1954 Topps Aaron $22,098 ($357,594) 1954 Topps Banks $11,740 ($142,836) 1948 Bowman Musial $8,947 ($129,850) 1963 Topps Rose $8,214 ($157,365) 1969 Topps Jackson $3,704 ($115,242)

Grabbed a box of 2012 Heritage from Target today and had 2 fun pulls (sorry poor cellphone picture) Love the Landrith auto and I guess Mauer is okay  I wish they would turn down the photshop filter a little bit on the images though for these

I pulled the same Landrith red auto, mine is 06/63 I think. I considered selling it, but I don't think it would pull more than $30 on ebay now, so I'll probably hang on to it. It's a neat card.

Does anyone know anything about old jersies? A friend of mine found an 82 Dave Stieb jersey (the jersey itself has a patch identifying 82) and thinks it might be game used. I'm a little unsure since I think the make it on it is Rawlings and could've possibly been part of a reproduction line? Who would have made the real jersey back then? In all my Googling, all I can find is Mitchell & Ness reproductions.

Rawlings did indeed make the Blue Jays jerseys in 1982. If it's game-worn, it will have a flag that says "Set 1 1982" or something like that attached to the Rawlings tag, and that 82 patch like you describe. Here's one on ebay with a closeup of the tags. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1982-Toronto-Blue-Jays-road-jersey-w-pants-/110731174118?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c817a0e6

Speaking of Bernie, my dad used to work at the New York Botanical Garden, and every year while he was there they would do a little puppet show/production thing of The Little Engine That Could. Back in, I think, 2005, one of the productions had a few guests show up because there was some Yankee charity thing going on. So my dad comes home that day and shows me this:  I had no idea why he was giving me a laminated Little Engine That Could info card. He told me to turn it over.  When I was growing up, Bernie was my favorite Yankee, and he's still my all-time favorite. Totally blew me away, and apparently he was nice as can be to my dad about it.

Yo guys, brought this up last time I was in this thread, but I'm going to be selling a number of cards this summer, lots of Topps from the 50s and 60s and 70s and some "unique" cards from the 80s and 90s. For instance, I have a collection of about 100 '92 Jim Thome cards. I have no idea why this is in a collection, but I have to sell them. Most of it's gonna be posted on eBay (is it kosher to just put the eBay name on here?), but I'd rather sell it to you guys, so if you have interest, just PM me. I have 15 tins of 1987 Fleer factory wrapped Collector's Tins which I'm selling for 50 bucks (still in factory wrap) and 15 1987 Don Russ complete sets. Individual cards for sale this week (most rated 5-6): 1952 Topps Ken Wood 1952 Topps Del Ennis 1952 Topps Bill MacDonald 1952 Topps Bob Young 1952 Topps Joe Tipton 1952 Topps Bob Chakales Also: 6 wrapped packs of 1977-79 Topps, ~20 or 25 cards each, probably rated 4-5. These cards include (front/back): -Al Worthington Twins/Yankees prospects (Brian Doyle, Mike Heath, Dave Rajsich) -Frank Reberger Padres/Jim Palmer Orioles -Jimmy Sexton Astros/Larry Hisle Brewers -Rob Picciolo A's/John Henry Johnson A's -John Ellis Rangers/All-Time Strikeout leaders -Ron Schueler White Sox/Eric Rasmussen Cardinals The broken bones fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jun 24, 2012 |

A man plead guilty to one count of wire-fraud after attempting to sell a baseball glove from the 19th Century while claiming it belonged to Babe Ruth. This was a lie, and he tried to get $200,000 for it, but was eventually caught after one potential buyer noted some shady business. He faces up to 20 years in prison. http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/8110103/irving-scheib-faces-20-years-jail-babe-ruth-glove-ruse

I found a neat book at a thrift store today. It's an updated copy of Ball Four. Sill has the original $14.95 price sticker on it. I thought it was neat, and then I saw this:  Signed. So awesome. I doubt it's valuable, but I collect signed books, so it'll make a neat addition. Now I just need to read the edition I bought for the Kindle...

FlamingLiberal posted:Keith Olbermann is debunking the idea that these cards are worth $3 million. There's a lot of hype being spun out for this story because of the auction house trying to get as much attention as possible. But honestly the basic fact is that these cards aren't extremely rare. They are valuable, just not $3 million valuable. We're talking more like $500K at most. Maybe he's talking them down so he can buy them.

They are valuable, just not $3 million valuable. We're talking more like $500K at most. E98s are not rare in general but they're extremely rare in good grades, let alone the top grades some of these got, and the set was previously thought to have major condition sensitivity issues. This will flood the market with NM to MT examples, and it's really just kind of impossible to say where it ends up because it's impossible to know what kind of demand exists for hundreds of high grade caramel cards, many of which are major HOFers.

He also pointed out that they're only putting 37 of the cards up for sale, but the article about the find mentions that they found a lot more cards. He theorizes that they probably found even more of the E98s in lesser condition, but don't want to flood the market with those.

PSA has already graded about 700 of them and Heritage is handling most of the sales. The jewels of the collection will be spread about their major auctions for the next year or two, since it's going to be a lot of duplicate bidders. I'll be quite interested to see what the PSA 10 Wagner goes for; that might beat the $500k projection on its own.

Think there was any palm greasing (or maybe just handshake agreements) to get them to a PSA 10? I know they're a lot tougher on grading now than ever and it's virtually impossible to get a 10 these days.
