Comments: In May of 2000,
I purchased a group of 1960 Fleer PSA 8s from Vintage Sports Investments
via their website - G. Alexander, H. Heilmann, H. Jennings, H. Newhouser,
W. Hoyt and E. Collins. They were temporary placeholders until I
found a contemporary portrait card issued during their careers.
I upgraded to a beautiful PSA 9 with an eBay win in September, 2000.
In February, 2004 I replaced the tribute card with a 1955 Topps
PSA 6. I upgraded to the current card, a PSA 7, in February 2005.
It has EX-MT+ corners with 45-55 centering left to right, 50-50
top to bottom. I'd like to find a strong NM-MT card someday.
UPDATE: Over the past ten years I’ve tracked ’55 Topps Newhouser PSA 8s and they’ve routinely sold between $700-$1600. PSA 7s sell for about $50-100. So, there’s an unbelievably huge gap in price between the two grades. Yet, I wanted to upgrade my off centered PSA 7 example and in April, 2015, my eBay saved search kicked back a nicely centered NM+ 7.5 example from seller PWCC. I got lucky and scored with an auction winning bid of just $91! Couldn’t be happier with this pickup. |
