| Comments: For Kell, 1952
Topps was the first issue after I purchased a PSA 7 off eBay in
February, 2002. I upgraded to a beautiful PSA 8 a year later after
winning another eBay auction. I decided to stick with Eddie Mathews
for the 1952 Topps issue so in August, 2007 I swapped out the '52
Kell PSA 8 for a 1950 Bowman PSA 7. I upgraded to this PSA 8 when
I won an eBay auction from seller Craig Roehrig/Quality Cards. |
