My biggest 56 pickup I spent all day debating on this it was either this one or a 56 Jackie Robinson PSA 6 the scan shows which one I decided on.

Great looking Mays you know since I started collecting vintage most of the graded 4,5 & 6's look great is it that vintage just grades low in general?

Nice Hoyt!

as for the vintage slabs, i think they "grade lower" because the cards themselves have a history, or wear and
tear some might call it.

sure there are PSA9 vintages out there, but they dont have the history, and they are COSTLY! :lol: :lol: :lol:

as for the mays, with my pickups, i try to stay in the 5+ area, unless two things....1) really cheap pricing...
2) great eye appeal

the Mays has great centering, so i wound up paying $26 for it, not bad imo

Re: OFFICIAL- Vintage Pickup Thread.

You guys are making me so jealous. I really need to pick up some more '56 for my set. Its been almost 12 months since I picked up my last vintage card.

In a deep dark dank hole that I have finally climbed out of......

Got a new job that pays more than my old. Was getting settled in a bit, and also new baby kinda puts the hobby on hold, but I am back...and will be buying my first cards since a year ago soon.

Nixsfan - that is a great Williams from a sweet set.

I should have posted the T-3's I got last week, you guys would've like them. John McGraw was the marquee card, aside from some boxers.
