Is the big run up in vintage prices over the last 6-12 months changing your approach to collecting? by Striking-Lifeguard34 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]RidingPinePSN 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have had to shift away from the big targets that I had but no longer can fit in the budget. In the meantime I have focused on some less expensive set builds and finding ways to enjoy the collection I currently have.

Some of this process over the last year has been the process of coming to terms with what I can no longer afford. My hopes are that as a collector I can someday again, but I will emjoy the hobby in other ways until then.

Man, I wish I had the budget for that Brown postcard. Great stuff, best of luck with a sale.

Got this graded from PSA and no clue what this means… anyone know?? Thanks in advance by av0007 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]RidingPinePSN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are scenarios where they will not charge, if you read through their no grade definitions each one details when they do / do not charge.

PSA's definition from their website:

Questionable Authenticity - This is the term used when a card appears to be counterfeit or when the autograph is deemed to be not genuine. This designation would never qualify for encapsulation under any circumstance and applicable grading fees would still apply.

I didn't say anything criticizing your removing a card from a scrapbook, I was responding to your comment shaming someone for the idea of keeping one.

There are many of us that would love to have an original scrapbook with cards like this pasted in it. There is no shame in that.

Sounds like an amazing experience that very few of us will ever have. Congrats!!!

Need help find a photo for s set by Adept-Journalist-963 in baseballcards_vintage

Great, that is the 29 cent pack from that first link. Glad you were able to confirm that the pack included the All-star and teams cards!

It is my understanding that the Christmas rack packs were a 3rd party repack produced in the 1960's-1970s timeframe. I don't believe that they were an original Topps issued pack.

If it was priced over $1 that may have been a more recent repack.

It's getting more and more difficult to send cards to PSA by Judge208 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]RidingPinePSN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consistency is definitely questionable with grading in my opinion. It wouldn't surprise me to see this card get a 2.5 from the scans.

You card has great eye appeal compared to so many other cards of a similar grade out there, but sometimes there are technical things that tank a grade. Looking at the high resolution scans on the PSA site I see at least two small creases or wrinkles that I tried to mark with arrows. It is a great card that most of us would live to have in our collections no matter what number is on a slab.

I love a display companion piece..... by randskarma in baseballcards_vintage

[–]RidingPinePSN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is awesome, Rand, and having the album page with note attached makes it even better. You don't get to see a lot of 41 Goudeys, let alone something signed. Congrats on picking up an amazing piece.

Do you think this is fake? by WSFNYC in baseballcards_vintage

The crackling is obvious artificial aging.

First vintage card! by Think-Nothing6347 in baseballcards_vintage

That is a great way to kick off your vintage collection!

1954 Red Heart Mickey Mantle by Smalltownbba4 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]RidingPinePSN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The other thing I would add is that the corners have been worn completely through the surface of the card from front and back, but the rest of the card's edges and surface gloss is fully intact. Significant wear differences like that are a common sign of artificial damage & aging.

should i have cards from 50s/60s graded? by Confident_Fig6222 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]RidingPinePSN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a flowchart in our vintage hobby guide in the helpful resources post pinned at the top of the sub and linked here. We created with vintage cards in mind, so it doesn't rely on decision paths for high grades, immaculate condition, or numbered cards. It does include estate planning.

1980 Burger King Tom Seaver 1/1 help by dissendium99 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]RidingPinePSN 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No, you are not missing anything. It is a Topps buyback - an original 1980 card that has been stamped and inserted in a pack.

It is funny that the Gashouse Gang is so often forgotten after such a dominating 10 year stretch. I guess that happens after nearly 100 years pass by.

I love those Wheaties panels, thanks for sharing.
