Here is another long-ago vintage pickup I felt would look better in a slab and be protected from my clumsy hands. I know grading is not for everyone, but for me that $8 fee cancelled out the long wait to get this bad boy back in my hands.
It's kind of fun to go back in the archives and see when I purchased things (and for how much, in the instances I documented that nugget). This amazing 1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese ran me under $25 delivered back in mid-2015.
It's one of my all-time favorite cards and I know I'm not alone in admiring it for all of the beauty it possesses. A 1 Qualifier now would run about $100-150 depending on the strength of its eye appeal -- I'm happy to see I got a good deal when I did.
Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteDanke!
DeleteEven with the imperfections, it seems like it should have graded better than a 1.
ReplyDeleteThe lower the grade on vintage, the happier I am when buying lol.
DeleteThat looks a lot like mine, and, yes, mine is graded, too.
ReplyDeleteGregs with the same birthday, same Reese cards, and same favorite team....who would've thunk it!
DeleteThat's some pretty cool blogger trivia there.
DeleteP.S. Very cool card.
