    I have a ball signed by Hank Aaron, Sadaharu Oh & Al Downing.

    I bought it from Steiner Sports over 30 years ago (without the Oh signature).

    Is Beckett the best place to have it authenticated and sealed?  I prefer that over getting a COA, even if it's from a reputable grader
    Beckett or JSA.  Both are good, JSA a little better.
    Thanks!

    Yep
    Nice job!
    If I get a psa 4? Fine and dandy.
    But maybe a 5? I would like a 5, obviously. 
    But I'll definitely send it in. See what happens. 

    I think I found my retirement hobby. Restoring these cards is fucking fun. I absolutely love the challenge. And I have only been at it a week. Haha 



    I know of a few people that look for creased but centered cards.  This is how they make coin.

    You have a future my friend, do it.

    Don't mean to derail thread. Enjoy seeing what people do with cards. I have none.
    I'm stumped as what it is. I have some feelers out for it though.

    ^^^^
    At a glance corner looks great.
    Certainly not perfect, but damn good.

    Then I put it under microscope. Haha

    SO NOW!!!! I am submitting 2 Ernie Banks 66 and 67 to SGC. I had no intention of submitting but now I am curious to see just what they grade.

    Im happy to say my 2 Walter cards corners look much better than this Ernie card, when placed under the scope.

    Too much magnification.  You'll go crazy trying to fix that looking through that much XXX.

    If you dig it though and it helps, have at it.

    Willie cleaned up really nice, but there is not much I can do about the rounded corners. But its clean.

    Im going to sit on Anthony. Might be a mistake. But I am hoping he has a kick ass year and the card may actually increase in value. 
    Wish it was an auto! Haha
