IYKYK….this is a monster card with a playing days auto. I had it authenticated before PSA started graded Star Co cards. I need to send it back for dual grading.

How do you turn a great looking junk wax era card into a great collectible? A nice in-person autograph will do the trick! Back in the early 90s, when I was a teenager, I used to send cards through the mail to spring training. While it was often not successful, I did have some great success stories, including this fantastic “Donnie Baseball” card from 1991. I think he should be in the Hall of Fame…do you?

One of the all-time great QBs in pretty high grade with a fantastic on-card bright, clean in-person autograph. Checks all the boxes for me - especially as a Dallas Cowboys fan! Great eye appeal on this one!

If you look at Dennis Johnson’s stats, they aren’t all together too impressive. But people who watched basketball in the late 70s throughout the 80s, and especially Celtics fans, knew the type of floor general and leader and point guard Dennis Johnson was. He was a great coach as well - and although the PSA 5 grade doesn’t quite make sense, it doesn’t really matter to me. It’s the autograph that makes this card.

I don’t collect a lot of hockey cards, but I’ve always wanted a Wayne Gretzky rookie auto. I have a rather nice BGS 5.5 (not signed) but recently upgraded to this one about two years ago. I would likely sell my BGS as I much prefer to have an autographed, on card, rookie with a clean, bold, clear signature like this. Also, I know there’s some corner wear, but this is one of the nicest PSA 2’s I’ve ever seen.
