If there was ever a situation where grading is going to pay off, this is it.

I was viewing this on mobile and didn't realize there was more after the '52 Mays.

Ok. I'm now glad I revisited this thread.


Congrats. You gonna sell to [MENTION=1948]Leaf[/MENTION] for some pack out product?

Awesome haul!

Personally I'd love to see more show-and-tell stuff like this rather than the latest shiny patch auto fractor.

Well thanks for the interest guys, nice to see peeps appreciating the "finer things" in the hobby. The story is unbelieveable. So Monday this guy walks in and plops a 52 & 53 Mantle on my counter (both Topps). We talk & I tell him what I can do (buy, consign, grade etc). He thanks me & leaves. Tuesday morning he brings in these, and we cut a deal. Sadly the 52 Mantle didn't return yet. My fingers are crossed! About 2/3 of the cards are PSA bound on Friday. The others will be on Ebay this weekend.

Wow. I missed this thread the first time. Glad you bumped it when The Mick came back to see you.

Anywhere Delta goes.
Since the cards were unprotected, the owner obviously didn't realize they were valuable.
How much did you rip off, I mean pay, for the cards?
Every one of us dreams of finding a stash like that at a garage sale or thrift shop.
First thought that came to mind, how much did you rip off the person.

Just started a new thread check it out "my psa sub", but here's the Mick




To the guys suggesting I ripped off the owner - sorry, that's not my deal. I wouldn't steal from my worst enemy.

is that paper loss on the upper right corner?

if so, that's going to be one of the nicest PSA 1's out there!

Great haul, best of luck with the grades. Always tough to tell on a scan but some of those look like they may have lost some weight along the way.
