Vintage PSA Reveal! Let's Check Out These Grades!

[@DontTalktoRobots]

I think you did pretty well with your predictions, a few lower, but a few higher as well! I am going with the Clemente as my favorite! Thanks for sharing and keep on rocking!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Doug! I agree, the Clemente is sweet! I was happy with how the grades turned out! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@basementcardcollector]

Good work Darren! Love the Maris!! Willie and Hank 59s are so cool! Wow- Whitey 52 might be my favorite here!!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Jason! I agree, the Whitey is such a good looking card! Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@ClementeCollector]

Great cards Darren! Love the 59 Aaron and Mays, great iconic cards! 63 fleer Clemente is one of his best cards, congrats on the 4! PSA seemed to be overall tough on you but atleast nothing was unfair.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Theo! I was thrilled to get the cards back, after their 4 month trip to PSA... I was happy with the grades, for the most part. I agree, the 63 Fleer Clemente is a great looking card! I appreciate you watching and commenting, my friend!

[@vintagesanctuary]

Darren, I'm glad you overall got some grade around what you were expecting! Congrats, my collecting brother! We are clubbies on Whitey Ford's first Topps card! That Willie Mays is a beauty! All great cards! 😊👊

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Adam! Glad we're Joe D and The Chairman clubbies! It was refreshing to get grades that aligned with my expectations for once! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@Hodges1455]

Love the Whitey Ford, '53 Topps! The '59 Mays I'm surprised that didn't grade a bit higher, great looking card. Thanks for sharing your PSA reveal!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Brian! The Mays was tough, it was super clean, but had bad corners. In general, I was happy with the grades this time. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@PickerJimS]

Sweet cards and you did well on the grades! Love the 59 Topps Willie and Hank!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Jim! I was fairly happy with the grades this go around. Glad to have those cards slabbed . I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@godisgreat8462]

Awesome my friend 🎉🎉

[@returntocollecting]

Thank Titus! Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@sfisportscards8323]

Darren, I think that's why I'm hesitant to send cards to PSA and Beckett. I collect both slabs but I always think they'll forget about my cards due to the long return time, lol. Great cards of great players, really love that '63 Fleer set and really nice '79 Strikeout Leaders card. They all look good in the PSA slab, congrats on the return!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Sammy! It took forever, but I was happy with the grades. Could have been worse, they could have all come back minimum size requirement... Always a risk sending to PSA. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Topps 1953 Whitey Ford - right up my alley. Great design. Great vintage cards all the way around. I would imagine Mays cards (which are already priced high) will skyrocket when he passes. The 1960 Clemente is probably my favorite card of his. Great colors.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Drew! I agree, the Ford is such a good looking card! The 60 Clemente has great eye appeal (in general, not mine since it has a pencil mark across his shoulders). I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@ken-pr2df]

Awesome vintage cards!! Enjoy your content!! You have a remarkable collection!! Where do you get your cards from? How long have you been collecting to put together such an amazing collection?

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Ken! I buy my raw cards at cards shows and card shops. The majority of my graded cards I bought on eBay or card shows. I sometimes buy from the bigger auction houses. I picked up one card over Facebook. I've been back in to collecting for about 4 years. Been a fun ride so far! I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!

[@videoguy316]

Love all those cards, regardless of grades as they all present really well. I was going to pick a favorite but I like them all. Thanks for sharing them Darren.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Doug! I think I like the Campy and Ford the most, but all fun cards. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@chrisfrommissouri]

Love, Love, Pove those cards. Great job

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Chris! I was excited to get them back from PSA, finally! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@Godlikecollectibles]

Great cards! Thanks for sharing!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Lou! Glad you enjoyed!

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Great group of cards there Darren! Thanks for sharing your reveal of them.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@michaelyoung7974]

I don't know how I missed this previously. Fascinating cards with some vibrant history behind each and every one!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed!

[@AngryOldManTTM]

Great video and fantastic cards Darren. Fantastic Maris and Clemente cards. Thanks for sharing.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Ed! I'm glad you enjoyed! I was quite happy with the grades this time. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@billyballgamesportscards]

Awesome group of cards, Darren! Glad you were happy with the grades.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Billy! The grades were much more reasonable this time than my last submission. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@mookiechillson]

The fleer Clemente was my fave - really nice cards all around. Glad PSA came close to meeting expectations. Well done Darren!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Mookie! The Fleer Clemente is a fun card to add to the collection. Its always nice when the grades seem reasonable... I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@rayfromphilly6969]

congrats darren on a nice return. That Hank Aaron is awesome. that whitey ford looks beautiful.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Ray! I was super happy to get these back! The Ford is such a great looking card. Love the 53 Topps set! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@ACollectorsDream]

Nice grades Darren. Thanks for sharing

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Orlando! I'm glad to have the cards back. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@signsofthepastime]

Some iconic cards in that lineup! Pretty good grades overall, nice reveal Darren.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Hugo! I was just glad to get them back... I really miss my cards when they go to PSA. Takes forever... Glad you enjoyed!

[@Collector.Not.Hoarder]

Great reveal, Darren - those vintage are right in my wheelhouse! I love the ‘63 Clemente - such an under appreciated card. Your grades seem pretty accurate - I would definitely be happy with them. Also, I sent a vintage submission back in November, and a 90’s submission in December - my vintage submission is still in “grading”, and my 90’s are currently being shipped back. Seems like vintage always takes longer.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Tom! Yeah, the vintage cards always take a long time, unless you pay considerably more for the expedited grading. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@MidLifeCards]

I cracked up when you said…”me not being able to read…”. lol. Cool cards…thanks for sharing.

[@returntocollecting]

Ha! Thanks Graig! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@jasonvtsportsguy2692]

New subscriber to the channel! Love the video! Lots of great cards! Thanks for sharing the love of collecting. Have a great weekend!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Jason! Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for subscribing! I hope you have a great weekend as well!

[@junkfoodjohnny]

PSA will never disappoint! Dang, I was really waiting on that Fernando grade. Guess I gotta wait another 4 months. Nice first premiere!

[@returntocollecting]

Ha! Thanks John! Nothing like getting burned on the Valenzuela rookie. It could have been the highlight of the bunch. Upside, it was pack pulled, so if it had gotten the requisite 5 or 6, it would have ruined the reveal. Maybe I should appreciate that it got denied.

[@hammerforty-four]

Fair grades overall. Glad you have them back in your collection. All tremendous players.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Hammer! Its great to have them all back in the collection! I agree, the grades were all reasonable (maybe a little low on the Aaron). I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@thedetroitcollector]

Nice set of Hall of Famers in this reveal. Can never go wrong with Mays or Aaron cards. Love the 53 Whitey Ford, from one of my favorite sets. Thanks for sharing.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks! I was stoked to get these back! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@vintageonvintage817]

Some really sweet cards Darren! Love the Mays and Aaron cards, the 64 Clemente Fleer is sweet as is the 61 Maris! Congrats!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Steve! I was happy to get these back. I really enjoy these. I'm a huge fan of those 69 Topps. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@willg.2045]

Some nice cards in there. I didn't know that PSA would grade a card a 1 with a qualifier. In particular, I figured a mark on a card would just make it a 1. Oh well, I guess I need to look at the grading standards again. Thanks for sharing, Darren!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Will. Glad you enjoyed! I agree, a 1 shouldn't require a qualifier, but that just helps bring the value down just a bit more... 😂. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@CollectingMaddux1987]

Great looking 3 Hank Aaron! Great eye appeal

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Alan! Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@DoubleBarrelSportsCards]

Really Sweet Cards !!!!!!! Liked & Sub !!!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks! I just subbed you as well! I appreciate it!

[@EverydayCardCollector-Jason]

Great cards Darren! I love the 59 set as well as the 1960 set.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Jason! I agree, the 59 and 60 sets are really good looking! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@3gslabs483]

Loved this sub!! You got some really nice grades I think.Seemed like PSA was right on with almost all their grades. I have been doing really good with my blind reveal videos as far as accuracy goes. I posted a couple 1960s videos not long ago and will be posting more soon. Keep the great content coming!!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks! I agree, this one seemed pretty accurate. Glad you're seeing the same!

[@threeriverscardcollector5962]

not too bad! it still shocks me how super slow PSA is, I'm averaging about 4-5 months per submission too lately

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks David! I was happy with the grades, but frustrated by the absurd turnaround time. It almost like they purposely hold the basic submissions back so that you're more likely to pay for expedited next time. Good marketing move, I guess. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@Rocketrickj18]

Congrats overall on your reveal. Hope you are happy with the results. Really great reveal video! You’ve got a great eye!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Rick! I was happy with the grades. Glad you enjoyed!

[@MrFisherbike]

Pretty nice submission man. I love the Campanella

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Jayson! I agree, that Campanella is a special card. Glad of have it in the collection. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@tigers727]

Great stuff. I am not pickey about grades. The 60 Clemente is great. The Ford and Maris are my two favorites. The Maris is definitely on my want list.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Greg! The Ford is my favorite! The Maris is a great card! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@jpcards]

Nice reveal! The '61 Maris for card #2 is fantastic, the '63 Fleer Clemente is great, as is the '53 Ford (that's a strong 2.5 I think). I wish that '59 Aaron did better for you, the VG seemed tough. Thanks for sharing, Darren!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks John! I was glad to get those grades (other then the Aaron). Just happy to have them slabbed up. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@psychdonbaseballcards5137]

Overall nice returns Darren. Other than that one corner, the Aaron looks pretty nice.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Tony! I was happy with the grades this time. The Aaron seemed a little low. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@fernando-mychildhoodcollec5671]

Great Willie Mays and Clemente cards

[@returntocollecting]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@Stompkin]

Great reveal! 59 Aaron looks much better than a 3 for sure. The PSA Modern Sports special I believe starts with 1989, so they aren't going to help you out with the 81 and 83 either, ha! The 80's are officially now the in between era!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Jeff! So the 80s cards cost like a vintage and get graded as slow as a vintage, but can't be included in a vintage submission... makes sense. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@SouthernFriedCards]

I love the Mays and Aaron

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Glenn! I was super happy to get those back! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@wink853]

I’d love to know what they charged you for each card. I’ve never submitted to PSA before and find the estimated value declaration confusing. A video of you filling out the form and final pricing would be helpful for us newbies.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks for the comment! They charged me $25 per card. I did the Standard Value level submission. I set the value of each below the $500 threshold.

[@wink853]

@@returntocollecting What do you think a Gretzky, bench and Ryan rookie cards...probably nothing less than a 7 and maybe even all of them 8's cost? How high do they go on card like Ryan's and Gretzky?

[@markmaestas1129]

Nice cards! It's funny that the 1960 Clemente is the lowest grade you can get because it presents really well compared to other PSA 1 cards I've seen. I'd be happy with all those cards in my collection.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Mark! I was fairly happy with the grades. I think the key piece of the Clemente was the pencil line across his neck (I missed that when I sent it in). I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@troyscards68]

Ive been considering getting my more iconic 68s graded. How is a vintage submission priced? I thought PSA priced by estimated value of final graded card? Nice cards though!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Troy! Their pricing for those aren't bad. They charge $25-$30 for 68 topps. If you have a Mantle that grades above a 7, they'll charge you an upfee for that. You can claim they are all worth $499 (max value for that grading level), they'll then bill you the difference after they're graded. They're typically pretty cool about it. Unless is clearly much more valuable, they won't charge the upfee.

[@ktc629]

wouldnt know the look the clemente we couldnt see it bc how it was held to camera

[@returntocollecting]

Apologies, was getting serious glare that day. It had a pencil line across his shoulders. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@alexvaksman7473]

!!!!!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks for watching Alex!

[@JAMESGTERCOLLECTS2]

Awesome cards,not so much with PSA My friend just got his back after 14 month Still can't figure out why folks sub with them. Great cards though,thanks for sharing.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks James! I agree they are very slow. I'll probably go with SGC next time, since they are much faster. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
