We were talking about this in another thread, thought I would share with a couple scans of my '62 Maris I bought in 1990 with 2 months worth of my paper route money ($60ish). I've included the original case in the scans. I bought the card in, this is the 3rd time I've taken the card out in 25 years (man I feel old saying that).

I am curious, what grade do you guys think it would get? I'm gonna grade it eventually just to get it slabbed. I'll never sell or trade this one. I just forgot it in my last submission.

Very nice card. I enjoy seeing good stories behind cards too. For some reason from what I've seen online the 62's were tough to keep in good condition. I've never gotten anything graded so I'm not even going to venture a guess on it. But congrats on a beautiful card and cool story behind it. I used to cut grass for my card money haha

Nice, ... In Pretty decent shape. I love the 62 design, and like PJRussell just said, probably the toughest cards to find in good shape. My 62 Maris is pretty decent, but the print registration is just slightly off, making it look slightly blurry. I upgraded it and now have a much nicer one than my HazyMaris card.
I'll post pics when I can.

Nice...I wouldn't bother getting it graded. From the sounds of it your going to keep it, so I'd just get it slabbed. Great story. Always nice to see that others have reasons other than money for keeping particular cards. You'll see as you get older, that the past really comes alive looking back on/through your collection. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Great card! As stated the '62 set is tough on grading. That being said if there's no creases and the surface is clean, I'd say a 3, possibly a 4.
