    Baseball Vintage PC

    You know...it's funny. My favorite sport is football...I live and die football. I love to collect football memorabilia. Yet, for some reason...quite possibly my favorite thing to collect is vintage baseball cards. There is just something special about the history of baseball...and collecting "old" players (I'm just a kid...born in 1985) is just something I really enjoy.

    For quite some time now...I have been putting together a side vintage baseball collection. My primary focus in baseball has been my Mickey Mantle collection and my 1952 Topps set. But, because of my love for the history of the sport...I am also picking up nice vintage cards that "speak" to me a I go along. I haven't really defined what "vintage" means for this collection...if it's older and I like it, I add it. I doubt cards much newer than the early 1990s will creep in...but there is really no parameters to this collection.

    I'm going to post scans of the cards as I get them in this thread (and as I get them...

    1933 Goudey and the Mystery of Card #106

    Baseball card collectors who focus on vintage cards know the “Big 3.” These three timeless baseball card sets are adored, heavily collected and extremely valuable. Attempting to complete one of these sets can be a lifelong project. Those three sets are 1909-11 T206, 1933 Goudey and 1952 Topps. Each set contains one extremely valuable card with a special story. For the T206 it’s the legendary Honus Wagner and 1952 Topps it’s the Mickey Mantle. That unique card in the 1933 Goudey set is #106, a card as mysterious as the more famous T206 Honus Wagner.

    Before we dive into the story of card #106, let’s start with some information on the set itself. The 1933 Goudey baseball card set was issued by The Goudey Gum Company of Boston. The 240 card set was issued in packs with bubble gum and are considered the very first of the “gum cards.” The cards themselves were 2 3/8in x 2 7/8in with very colorful backgrounds. To capitalize on the stars of the time, some players had multiple cards...

    Collecting an Unknown Player - My Tony Graziani PC

    I think most sports fans come across a player during their lives that stands out as special...even if they don't really find great success. For whatever reason, you become a fan of that athlete...often because they were in the right place at the right time. For me, former quarterback Tony Graziani is that person. Let me explain that story.

    I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, the home of the University of Oregon and their Oregon Ducks. Now, as a child...the Ducks weren't what they are today. In 1993, I was 8 years old and my dad took me to my very first Ducks game...we went to the annual rivalry game the "Civil War" and watched Oregon loose. The Ducks lost 12-15 capping a 5-6 season. On that day, I had never heard of Tony Graziani nor did he stand out. He was the redshirt freshman backup QB to junior starter Danny O'Neil. Even though Oregon lost and it was an ugly game...I was already a budding Oregon fan. My first experience at Autzen cemented my love for the Ducks and going into...

    An Open Letter To Press Pass

    Dear Press Pass,

    Thank you for producing the NASCAR product for the NASCAR fan/collector.

    Would you pleace consider this...since you only produce six products a year, could you STOP putting firesuit cards in every product? You are becoming Upper Deck, producing so many "game-used jerseys" (i.e. firesuit, sheet metal, etc.) that the items are becoming worthless!

    Joey Harrington PC: Autos, Multi-Color GU, Patches, SP, 1/1

    I grew up in Eugene, OR, I did my undergrad at the University of Oregon (class of 2007) and I am an Oregon Ducks football season ticket holder. One could say I'm a huge Duck fan. Growing up, I had several Oregon players that I was especially fond of. One was Joey Harrington. I know his NFL career didn't pan out, but that doesn't diminish what he did for the Ducks and his fan-base here is still strong.

    When I got back into collecting a few years ago, I thought a Harrington collection would be a nice project. I hadn't collected since the GU boom had started and the first thing I noticed was there were TONS of cards of newer players. So, I thought I would focus my Harrington set on what I considered "higher end" pieces. I would avoid the base stuff and focus on autos, GU cards and low number SPs. I figured since his popularity wasn't great, his cards would be affordable. I also decided I wouldn't grab the first GU I could find, but I would search for multicolored jerseys and nice...

    The Difference Between PSA 10 and PSA 9

    When I first got out of card collecting (later 1990s) it seemed that professional card grading was just starting to get popular. I personally transitioned from card collecting to coin collecting and discovered a world that was very into the idea of grading and certifying coins.

    I knew that Collector's Universe (who is the parent company of coin grading giant PCGS) also had a card/sports memorabilia grading service (PSA) but was never really exposed to it until I returned to the card hobby a few years back.

    Now, coins are graded on a scale of 1-70. Many collectors believe that a coin graded "70" isn't really a true thing...that it is almost a sales gimmick made up by the grading companies to encourage competition within their registries. A lot of the evidence to this is in the fact that the difference between a 69 and a 70 is so infinitesimally minor...that the price difference (which is sometimes great) isn't worth it.

    So, when I discovered PSA graded cards (and their...
