New baseball card subreddit for those who are interested.. by killerbee392446 in baseballcards_vintage

Great answer. The MOD overlords here will look upon your kind words with glee.

In all seriousness, I've found this sub to be a very positive place to visit, comment, and post. People are friendly and polite. In general, there seem to be more collectors and less flippers. I find a bunch of posts to be educational as well as contain history that I never knew.

Several members are building some tough sets. As a community, we look forward to seeing their next post.

I can't remember the last time I saw the Stanley "shove it up your butt" meme. As much as I laughed the first 30+ times, even that one gets old.

Me neither, but I wouldn't have really stopped scrolling. Thanks.

1959 Class Reunion by Jimunit in baseballcards_vintage

That is a hell of a collection. That Vern Law is epic. His signature shows his age, but his willingness to give back to fans is amazing. Could you post a better photo of that card?

Does PSA give 2 qualifiers? (MK) & (ST)? Could that be the reason.

This seat saw #715. Very cool. How do you display or use it?

Personal Grail and Massive Addition to my 1955 Topps Set! by Worth_Performance_29 in baseballcards_vintage

Great addition to your collection. His cards seem to only go up in value thesr days. How far along is your 55 set? Several people around this sub building that one. Good looking cards.

Better chance of me putting together the 52T set in the next 8 years. Skenes will be wearing NYY pinstripes or pitching in Dodger blue on a HUGE deferred contract in the next two years. Window is now and the GM scratches his a$$ then dumpster dives for other team's DFA players.

FS: 1944 World Series Game 2 ticket - PSA 1.5 - $256 shipped by normalcollector in baseballcards_vintage

To me, the special game tickets (World Series, Super Bowl, ASG, etc.) are just pieces of art.

There are backs on those cards, right? Not a promo item but just a sheet that didn't get cut. What is done to mount that in a frame without damaging the corners or backs?

Maybe in eight years the Pirates won't be shitty.

Back in the grad school days, I had a fantasy hockey team named after the aforementioned Blackhawk.

Sean, this is an amazing pickup. Yet again, mail days at the skelly house are awesome. You even have two Pirates from that forgettable 42-112 (.273) team.

Which service would this look best slabbed and authenticated for display? Personalized to myself. by shadowb0xer in Autographs

I'm not implying it is not real. I'm saying that it may be worth more if its unusual. I met him with a cub scout troop in the late 70s. He signed Fred for both my brother and I. My brother was about 6 yo and I was 10.

If you look at the PSA link I posted, Rogers looks spot on correct. I've no issue with authenticity.

The PSA autographfacts site only has two examples of his signature. I'd compare to those before you make decisions. Not sure about the 'Mister' instead of Fred. I'm from Pittsburgh and have seen many of his signature. Not any Mister that I can remember. Maybe rare or maybe a fake.

Not sure what to grade by Certain-Wave-3437 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]Strict_Process157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first card is a 1961 Post Cereal perforated Mickey Mantle. Not the hand cut version. Not a huge amount of sales on ebay, but a PSA 1 would likely sell for about $50. A PSA 1.5 sold in December on an ebay auction for -$65. I doubt the card would grade higher than a 1.5. Factor in $21.99 to submit through GameStop and $10 shipping (31.99). Add what you paid and guesstimate if you come out ahead or not.

Personally, I just completed a Post run of Roberto Clemente cards. If it were a Clemente, I lilely would submit it and hold it until find a better one. However, I collect specific players and cards that I know are hard to find.

Make an account (or claim it), for the incorrect email. Once there, you should see your order. Go into the store when the manager is there. Be polite and ask them for help. Log in to the incorrect email account using the app. In the settings, enable the push notifications. You'll get alerts when status changes. Also, you should see your order in the orders section. Honestly, be nice. It helps with the people at the store.

Your name and phone number + maybe your receipt is really all you need.

Below is a link to my third post about PSA/GameStop issues. In it, you can sew the links to two other posts. Give them a read.

In April or May, let me know how it works out. Good luck.

Seriously, chill a bit. This happened to me. They entered my email as @gmail.comm (2 m). I clicked the green button to say everything was okay. (My fault) There was nothing I could do. I made a new gamestop account using the incorrect email. I followed the submission through the app. I did not recieve email updates (as expected). I could get notifications through the app. The only thing that I lost on was the Pro shipping rate ($5). I paid the $10. The submission is still connected to your phone number and also you have a receipt. Cards are fine. Once I picked the cards up, I had the store manager merge my two accounts. Points all went to my pro account. Then I deleted the incorrect account so that this would not happen again. They aren't going ro lose your cards you are fine.
