    New poster would like some advice with a 56 Topps set

    The biggest addition was a JACKIE JENSEN card. I am quickly finding out that the second series is really hard to find in high grade. :cry:

    New poster would like some advice with a 56 Topps set

    Believe me though its really expensive either way. :D However, I concure with what everyone else is saying, buy graded cards. It saves you a lot of heartache in the long run! :lol:

    Crossover expertise/advice needed from Vintage boys

    Are you plan on selling the Mantle after you cross it over? If so, then yes I would cross it over to PSA simply because you will get a better price if you sell it in a PSA holder. Mostly due to the registery. If you plan to keep it in your PC then I would leave it in the BVG slab. However, its...

    Vintage Pick Up Thread

    I find comedy in this. I remember that thread over nn NET54 about that exact card. What a whirlwind of emotions in that one!

    Vintage Pick Up Thread

    Great pickups. I wonder if the previous owner had a lot of those Topps 55's in some kind of punch card holder... :?:

    Hit a wall with current set...need some suggestions

    When I was finishing up my 55' set I was experiencing the same as you are now except I was trying for psa 7 or above. Once you get closer to completion of that set you will find that the cards that you need will show up less frequent on ebay. There were many times when I thought I wanted to do...

    "Loved" vintage cards vs. "high grade"

    I would think the main point is to collect what you want to collect and in what condition you want to collect it in. I have some pre-war Braves cards that are not higher then PSA 4 or SGC 5. Of course I could save up and get a nice mid-grade T205 or T206 but instead I am more focused on 1950's...

    What is the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle really worth?

    Long time no see RC! How ya been? Hope to see you around more often! Anyways, All I was saying is that if Mantle played for lets say for the sake of the discussion, the Senators his entire career, with the numbers he put up I would still see him having a hard time getting into the HOF. I am...

    What is the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle really worth?

    Well, ever since the Mr Mint find of 52' high numbers, that card has increased in price. I seriously doubt that the card will ever come down in price, simply because of the legend that topps dumped its 52' high numbers stock into the ocean sometimes in the early 60's. I believe that there are...

    An intresting Clemente check that was signed in 1977!?!

    I don't think that is a 1. The sad part about it is its in a PSA holder.

    An intresting Clemente check that was signed in 1977!?!

    Perhaps, I am confused but I thought that Roberto Clemente died in 1972? I am just curious how he could of signed a check in 1977? Please tell me I am wrong? http://cgi.ebay.com/ROBERTO-CLEMENTE-AUTO-SIGNED-HAND-WRITTEN-CHECK-PSA-9-/200579250577?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb3747991
