Which means in this game; its a heck of a card.

I'd trade for it as well Let me know

Problem is, when the card arrives, it is fair to poor condition usually.&nbsp; BV = much less then $10
My 1950's and 1960's cards have been awful, corners gone and tape marks on the card etc.
The newer cards have been pretty good, but I really only have the older cards sent since the postage is more than the card is worth 90% of the time

Well, I finally received my MCG cards, and it was definitely a mixed bag.

I got 184 cards delivered. I ordered them UPS about 5 weeks ago for almost $50 in shipping. They showed up today, with USPS postage of $10.36 stamped on it.

I guess I can't complain too much, but I had about 7 that are really damaged. A 1960 card that looks like it was run over with a car, A 1964 with tape stains on each corner, a 1968 off center approximately 0/100, a 1969 checklist "pre marked" with a pen, a 1971 with very rounded corners, a creased 1976, and a 1976 off center about -20/120.

I was happy to see a number of older cards that were actually in pretty good shape, which surprised me, including 6 from 1956.

I was also surprised to see something else, though. Two of the 1993 cards I received (I got 4) were "Rockies inaugural" variants.

I ended up getting 26 card delivered -- all, with the exception of the Strasburg free shipping prize card, were pre-1970 and all were booking for $10 or more --- out of those 26 cards, 25 arrived, (Topps just emailed me that the final card was shipped this week) and I would say 19 of the 25 were in acceptable condition. Sadly, the 2 most expensive cards were a bit beat up. But overall, there were some very nice cards including an ex/mt or better 54T Jackie Jensen card.
