Comments: 1940 Playball PSA 6 - that was the first portrait for Ferrell - an eBay win! Then in February, 2005 I went a little crazy and bought a huge group of '40 Playball cards listed below off the Mickey's Sportscards website - including an upgrade to a PSA 7:

1940 Playball Rick Ferrell #21 PSA 7	1940 Playball Tris Speaker #170 PSA 7
1940 Playball Connie Mack #132 PSA 7	1940 Playball George Sisler #179 PSA 8
1940 Playball Frankie Frisch #167 PSA 7	1940 Playball Red Faber #230 PSA 7

In May, 2006 I upgraded to a beautiful PSA 8 when I won another eBay auction from seller Lyle Mortamer. After deciding to stick with Bill Dickey for the 1940 Playball issue, I swapped the Ferrell out for a PSA 6 1941 W753 issue in August, 2006. I upgraded to a PSA 7 in May, 2008 with an eBay win and again to this PSA 8 with another victory in October, 2010. Funny….the PSA 8 was just slightly more than what I paid for the PSA 6.
