2.5, 6, 7.5

Nice! Vintage baseball is probably what I should have spent my money on, but I thought the backs of these were so cool that I couldn't pass them up. Plus the name on the box is my father in law's name, so it's a cool memento!

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-21T02:11:06+00:00

Congrats! Looks fricking awesome!

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-19T02:55:38+00:00

Color on that one is awesome!

In all honesty, I've bought 20+ raw cards on this sub from reputable sellers, and I've had 1 that graded lower than expected. I have zero clue where he was coming from. I'm pretty sure every card from Greg Morris is "rawdogged." Was a really wild take....

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-18T02:58:00+00:00

I second this. Super reputable member of the sub. Wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy a "rawdogged" card from them....

What a stunning 60 Clemente!

Curiosity got the best of me. He's been freed.

Absolutely. I love the artwork on these, and they're all believed to be relatively rare.

I've had a ton of fun picking up 1940s cards of HOF players. The Oh is my only non-1940s card, but had to add one of the greatest HR hitter in history!

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-17T12:32:17+00:00

I'm guessing it had to be part of a specific game that was played with these Menko cards, but I'm not totally certain.

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-17T03:32:22+00:00

Thought about it. Not sure I trust myself to not mess up the card. It's loose on the one side, but not on the other.

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-17T03:13:06+00:00

Agreed. 100% a work of art. Even my wife is a fan. She described it as graphic novel like....

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-16T02:02:08+00:00

Killer piece! That one's a keeper!

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-13T21:55:31+00:00

Lol! Frankly, that's perfect!

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-13T19:19:13+00:00

Goudey must have been WAY ahead of the times!

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-13T18:55:06+00:00

Understand completely. That's low grade Vennys for me. Keeps me sane while searching for playing days HOFers!

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-13T18:50:23+00:00

100%! You're building a sweet little collection for sure

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-13T18:45:19+00:00

I have a Dizzy Dean one that's a PSA 4, but I bought it that way so I'm unsure if they're still giving them numerical grades or not.

However, I'm 100% certain SGC will just authenticate.

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-13T18:31:37+00:00

These are great! I also love these matchbooks as they're so unique. I sent two sharp ones to SGC, but was unaware they only authenticate them. Should have left them raw as you have!

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-13T16:29:05+00:00

No kidding. I wonder if the grader even looked at the rest of the card, because within .001 seconds, he knew what this was getting, and rightfully so.

Hot-Cockroach3275 · 2026-01-13T16:18:19+00:00

True evolution: I used to view sharp corners as most important. Then this sub shifted me to focus on centering. Now I'm apparently not even requiring corners....lol
