They look great! If they are for your PC, just go with your gut.

Thanks Guys. I'm gonna get them stabbed. My Dad never believed in PSA( he promoted shows and owned shops for 25 years) I still have the letter from Maris thanking my Dad for being a fan. He sent them to his Distribution plant in the mid to late 70's.

Awesome backstory and collection. Slab em if you want em slabbed. I personally think if you know their legit, spend the slab $ on a nice frame piece w/ something like a nice picture and the letter etc w the cards around it would look great

That's an incredible collection.
By the way, your thread title should read '58-'68, instead of '59.
That first card is Maris' 1958 rookie.

Agreed. Those would look amazing framed together.
[MENTION=10695]Laxcat[/MENTION]: So Maris signed all of these especially for your Dad in the 70's? Just what is the backstory?

61* in 61, I absolutely love the movie 61*, its a top 5 baseball movie in my opinion, anyone who hasn't seen it should defiantly find a copy of it and watch it. good old North Dakota boy!

Wow!
I have a Maris game used PC for my daughter, but ive never dared to imagine owning one Maris auto, let alone a monster collection like that!!
I would certainly get them slabbed though... And then framed.

There was an uber collector named Jack Smalley(sp?) that published a book that had all of the former ball players business and personal addresses. After Maris retired he owned a very successful Budweiser distribution plant in Florida, I think. He was my Dads favorite player growing up
He sent him a letter asking if it was okay to send him cards to sign. Maris sent back a reply basically saying to send him whatever. So my dad sent him a full run. Maris signed those and a handwritten letter
