I'm not into getting my cards graded. I've never sent one in to get entombed in plastic. My preference is to be able to touch the card.
I do have a few graded cards that I bought and I recently picked up another.
This is Darwin Barney's Topps rookie card and its from the limited edition factory set. And you can see that it is a Gem Mint 10. I checked the PSA registry and there is only one graded 10 from this set for Barney. Now I have it.
The card came from eBay. It was listed as an auction with a starting bid of 99¢. I paid more than that, but less than the price to get the card graded. That was a good deal.
I'm not that into graded cards either, but have a few my first one or two were either gifted or part of trades and a few I actually purchased on purpose like the 1971 Milk Duds NNO Frank Howard full box grade EX-5 but mismarked as card #1..
ReplyDeleteTopps hooked up Barney with a great looking rookie card. Congratulations on your purchase.
