Episode 92: PSA Blind Reveal 1950s - Richie Ashburn HOFer

[@CleanCheapShots]

Is the Topps 1956 design one of the finest Topps ever produced?

[@commentingcollector]

@@CleanCheapShots The cartoons on the back are great!

[@CleanCheapShots]

@@commentingcollector I really enjoy them.

[@unc23sports]

That's my BOY!! The cartoons are GREAT!!

[@CleanCheapShots]

@@unc23sports You know that's right.

[@concretebuddy59]

I agree. The 1956 design is super, both front & back.

[@ken-pr2df]

Amazing submission Drew!! These cards from the 1950’s are awesome!! Enjoy your channel!! Keep up the great content!!

[@CleanCheapShots]

I really appreciate that. I hope you are having a great week.

[@stuke1976]

Great reveal Drew! Nice additions to the 1956 set. Love the 1957 Ashburn.

[@CleanCheapShots]

I really like the Ashburn image as well. Thanks for popping in.

[@signsofthepastime]

I enjoyed the reveal, Drew. I like how you show the backs so we can read them. The ‘57 Ashburn is one of my favorite cards. Another great bunter that comes to mind was Juan Pierre who seemed to always be bunting when I watched him hit. Btw, we got snow in Florida this week so keep the videos coming because I’m staying indoors for a while!

[@CleanCheapShots]

This is a perfect opportunity for you to get out and do a snow angel! lol Ashburn's image is great. Thanks for stopping by Hugo.

[@zachandporter]

Always enjoy the reveal!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you.

[@adamscardcloset9020]

Grats on your submission. You did well. Like the two Braves of course 😊

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thanks Adam. Appreciate you stopping by.

[@ACollectorsDream]

Beautiful cards Drew, thank you for sharing

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you.

[@commentingcollector]

Not only did PSA slap you in the face by rejecting your Boyer- apparently they sent you some extra stickers to preemptively reject your own cards before you send them in! I agree with you if the card hasn’t been altered but rather the way it was rolled off the printing press and cut by Topps it should be graded! I should send my cards to you for grading, Drew- you’re pretty dang accurate! Thanks for sharing 👍❤️

[@CleanCheapShots]

I can't figure out why they sent me those stickers. Odd. Thanks for stopping in and commenting.

[@3GoodNerds]

The '56 design is just wonderful. I always enjoy seeing your returns.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you. I really love the design.

[@scootscollectibles]

Great looking cards. Love the 56 set and couldn’t agree more on how the yellow on black with the red jersey pops on the Pinson And Robinson.

[@CleanCheapShots]

The Pinson colors and the Frank Robinson card from the same year are similar in terms of the colors used on the card. Thanks Mike.

[@billyballgamesportscards]

Great looking cards, Drew! I love the 56 set! You got some really nice grades on some of them, too! Congrats!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thanks Billy. Disappointed in your hometown favorite Boyer though.

[@billyballgamesportscards]

@CleanCheapShots No doubt! It's such an awesome looking card!

Nice cards all of them. Im a big fan of the 58s. The Pinson look real sharp and bright. Nice Cerv. That was an epic video of vintage greatness. loved it!! thumbs and later on, Jay

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you Jay. Very kind of you. Hope you are having a great weekend.

[@AngryOldManTTM]

Great video Drew. Super looking cards. I enjoyed seeing your reveals. Thanks for sharing.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you sir. I appreciate your time.

[@godisgreat8462]

Awesome my friend. Keep up the great videos

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you.

[@unc23sports]

Yeah boy 🎉 Another GREAT ONE! 😂 FANTASTIC returns! How did the Nostradamus of KZbin do? This is the unofficial box score of your 27 card PSA reveal. 1 card came back ungraded, and one card (Ron Jackson) you had no guess. 9 guessed correctly and 16 misses. From the 16 misses...10 graded higher than you predicted...which in my book are WINS. 36%. I'll be on the lookout for Henry Foiles at the KC card show this weekend. Keep growing your collection, Card Farmer

[@CleanCheapShots]

Well hey! Thanks for the stats. lol Graders are a little like umpires. It is subjective and sometimes they simply miss the call. Thank you kindly for stopping by. Man, I loved the stats you provided. :o)

[@unc23sports]

@CleanCheapShots you betcha! Anytime 👊

[@zachscollections]

Excellent reveal. And some stunningly beautiful cards.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Hey Zach. I appreciate it.

[@RobCashCards]

Drew! Great looking cards, buddy. You were wrong on a lot of the grades but in a good way 😊. Also, I’m really enjoying your Vada run. You know he’s one of my guys! Take care, Card Farmer 🌽

[@CleanCheapShots]

Pinson for the HALL! Appreciate you stopping in and watching.

[@mathbowler2782]

I love these videos. The 1956 set is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. It was nice to see some of the cards grade higher than what you thought.

[@CleanCheapShots]

It sure is a great design. Lots of character. Thank you for swinging in.

[@danielbernier6095]

Great progress on your 56 set.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you sir.

[@jimnfl7134]

@@CleanCheapShots *Have some newer Videos and the latest can be found in SHORTS!* 1950's talk about old school. 1980's and 1990's most of my cards are from.

[@nafex3740]

Great looking cards 👌 👍

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you.

[@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648]

Hey Drew, congrats on the grades. It is nice when some of your cards exceed expectations. Well done. My two favorites from this group are the Joe Collins and Ransom Jackson. The Dodgers and Yankees cards most signify that era. I didn’t know Randy Jackson’s first name was Ransom until you flipped the card over.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Overall, I am very happy with the grades. There are so many nuggets of information on the back of these cards. In doing research on players, sometimes the back of the card was the only place I could find the information I was looking for. Thank you for taking the time to swing in and watch. Hope you are having a great weekend.

[@TCBsprtscards]

Some beautiful cards, really nice returns! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you sir. I appreciate your time.

[@concretebuddy59]

Thanks for the neat video reveal Drew.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you sir.

[@the_card_closet]

Fun reveal, drew! You must be happy with 6s and 7s from that era. Sorry to hear about boyer. I've heard others have luck with sgc when psa does that.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Yes, I was pretty happy with those grades overall. Thanks for stepping out of your closet for a little bit.

[@PickerJimS]

Awesome cards and you did great with the grades! Love 56 Topps! Bummer about Ken Boyer! On the Randy Jackson is that a pencil mark on the back, right side next to Printed In USA? The Vada Pinson cards are sweet!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thanks Jim. When I get home, I will take another look to see if I can see what you are looking at. Appreciate you stopping by.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

Sorry about the ‘56 Boyer. Really like that ‘53 Foiles in the 3.5 slab. Vibrant, yes.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thanks Kid. Darn, wish they had graded that Boyer.

[@Collectorholic]

Nice slabs. I only knew Mr Asburn. Enjoy your day!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you.

[@vintagecardssteve8582]

Nice run of cards Drew. Really like seeing some Bob Cerv and the 1959 Pinson is a great looking card. One of my favorites of his. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@CleanCheapShots]

I show a lot of Bob Cerv cards on this channel. lol Thanks for stopping by Steve.

[@peterb4871]

Very nice cards Drew. I love the Topps 56 set.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you sir. To me, 1956 Topps and 1953 Topps were the two finest designs ever. I appreciate you stopping by. Have a great rest of your week.

[@eddyscardboardchaos]

I can look at '56 Topps cards up close all day, thanks for taking us along on the journey. I have no idea where the mark is on the Jackson. Did not see it anywhere.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thanks Eddy. I have a long ways to go to get this set completely graded. One day. Thanks for swinging in.

[@Redneckclector]

Drew I always enjoy your blind reveals. It looks like Psa min size strikes again. I didn’t realize you’re working on that many graded sets, but you picked some good ones. The Vada Pinson run is coming together. Can’t wait for the showdown!

[@CleanCheapShots]

1953 graded set is done. Now I am working on 1955 and 1956. Thanks for stopping by today.

[@DansVintageBaseballPC]

That is one potential pitfall of buying sharp raw cards at a show. You never know if the dealer themselves got a min size.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Very true.

[@vintageonvintage817]

Fantastic reveal Drew, I can’t remember seeing so many 5s,6s,and 7s for cards from the 1950s. You have a great eye my friend! Pinson’s 59 may be his best card! I have the same frustration with minimum sized cards, if that is how they came from the factory they should get a grade!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Exactly! Grade those cards that come from the factory despite being a hair off. Thanks for stopping by.

[@hammerforty-four]

I didn't see any mark on the Randy Jackson either...not sure what it was referencing. Overall, good return.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thanks Hammer. I wish they would provide grader's notes.

[@CollectingMaddux1987]

Nice progress on the 56 set. You just can't stop buying 53s can you

[@CleanCheapShots]

As to the '53s, I have a big problem that I can't kick. Thanks.

[@mookiechillson]

There were several upward revisions here! Well done - sorry about Boyer, but Ashburn is a great score!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thanks Mookie. I will take the upward revisions.

[@justyouraveragegeeks]

Great video Drew! I love seeing these PSA reveals. Beautiful vintage cards. So the Ken Boyer card they say is too small is that the issue?? Overall I’m guessing you like PSA? I’ve been debating sending in some cards but I feel like the price is a little high. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. Be well. 🤙 26:19

[@CleanCheapShots]

They say the Boyer card is too small. Cards that came from vending boxes were often cut a little small, which should not be a big deal. If it is authentic, then grade it. I would watch to see when PSA has their specials before sending them in. It is not the same price for each type of card and the prices vary depending the age of the card too sometimes. Thank you sir.

[@justyouraveragegeeks]

@ Ok got it. Thanks for the info/heads up. That’s crazy about the card. Like you said just grade it if it’s not a fake! 🤙

[@Vintage_Dave_T]

Yeah, I like the 3.5 Foiles card better. Much better color. I don’t get why PSA doesn’t slab min size cards. They often put qualifiers on cards with stains and marks; so why don’t they put a grade and a qualifier on cards with min size? That’s a nice Dick Donovan card. First card I ever remember seeing is his 1957 card. Carlos Paula first black player to integrate the Washington Senators. Just love those 56s. Of course I love the 57 Ashburn. Nice card. Thanks for sharing, Drew.

[@CleanCheapShots]

That is a good point I had no considered. Why not slab it and put the qualifier of min size on it. Great suggestion. This summer, I hope to film a video in Ashburn's home town. Thanks for swinging in.

[@Vintage_Dave_T]

@ Great! I look forward to that video. All the best.

[@Dcollection]

That’s a bummer about the Boyer. You continue to do a great job cornering the market on all 1953 cards, haha. I didn’t see the mark on the Jackson either. Where do you fall on qualifiers as a collector? Really nice submission, Drew!

[@CleanCheapShots]

I was pretty bummed about Boyer as well. That is twice I have had a Boyer turned away. I might be a little addicted to the 1953 set. Yikes. As to qualifiers, I avoid them. In large part because I like to compete with the set registry that PSA has. Otherwise, if I wasn't doing the registry, there are some great cards you could get at a much cheaper price. Thanks D.

[@macwaxxstacks]

I always like watching these Drew. Richie Ashburn outta the great state of NEBRASKA! What county number would be on his license plate?

[@CleanCheapShots]

Nice try BK. That depends on where his farm was or what part of town he may have lived in. Why you ask, well the town was split in half or nearly half by two counties. But to your question, for Mr. Ashburn, 7 is the answer.
