Only makes me wonder if any have been tampered with. I see some cracks/ghosting on the right side of some those cards.
Otherwise.......OOooooooooooOOOoooooooooOOOO...!

Yeah and now the personalize the collection pieces. It is still a nice collection, but I agree some don't look like 10.

His goal was to get a PSA 10 Topps rookie card of everyone. We did numerous dealings with him, but the last one was probably 5 years ago. I remember seeing a TV segment on it and how PSA personalized the cards after he had already obtained them. Very impressive collection. If all that money is going to charity, that's a very nice gesture and he should be applauded by all.

^^^ I agree! That charity is gonna bring a lot of $$$$$$$$! There's probably a lot of PSA set builders that have been waiting for these cards to be available.

That is a great collection but some of them don't look like 10's. I'd kill to get that Ernie Banks!

very nice collection, but how does the Aaron get a gem mint 10 when the top is cut off pretty bad. Don't they put OC or something on cards like that? Just seems like one or 2 from the eye of a nongrader like my self makes me wonder how they are all Gem Mint.

RE: Anyone see this story?
We are on 5 different forums, and on every single on of them all people seem to do is complain and criticize other people's comments, cards, etc. I don't understand why you guys can't say nice collection and go on about your business. Instead, every one of you are nit picking that collection. These cards are going to fund a charity?!? Instead of commenting on how amazing it is that a pro athlete would do something like this, you criticize the cards. I just don't understand.

Great thing he's doing!
