I picked this up today from my LCS for my HOF rookie collection.I couldn't beat the price.It is miscut but not a huge eye-sore.The corners are razor sharp.For $175 I didn't think I could go wrong.

That is amazing. With a card like that would you get it slabbed authentic or go for an actual grade?

holy crap! that was in a card shop!?

that needs slabbing!
A group of 5 of these came in along with a 53 set,55 set,55 Bowman set and a bunch of early HOF'ers like Mantle and Robinson.I couldn't believe how nice these Koufax's were.My LCS owner treats me very well.He called me when they came in.I am now paying off a 1953 Topps Satchel Paige from the same lot.

I am going to go with an actual grade because the card is so clean other than the miscut.It should be at least a PSA 7MC.

The Satch should be a 4/5.Great eye appeal though.

I just VCP'd the card to see comparable prices, and found that exact card was graded a PSA 5MC and sold for $175 about a year ago. Really sharp card, and it looks like you paid right on. Nice job.

Do you have a scan?

I'm not sure how to get the scan from VCP. The scan is pretty small, but its a dead ringer for your card. The marks are in the same spot, the card has the same cut, nice corners, etc.

To get the scan all you have to do is right click and hit save as.I am very interested in seeing this card that was a 5MC.
