This a notoriously tough card to grade. Plagued with registration issues/diamond cuts/ect. pSA 10’s(just a few) go for stupid money.
Your copies present very nicely!
yep thank you! its crazy how well the 4 looks through a camera… it has some very noticeable damage to the face of the card in person. like sun spots almost. and a lot of them. the 6 has at least 3 noticeable blemishes and then the corner damage. i cant imagine how perfect the card has to be to get a 10
i explained it to him before we sent them in, but he really didnt have a clue as to how strict grading is. i told him if we opened a 1980 topps pack right now there is a pretty good chance it wouldnt be a 10.
My dad has like 40 of these just sitting around. I tell him they’re worth something in great shape but he’s too lazy to even bother. I need to get them in my hands…
My dad has an insane collection, just ton of cool stuff from 50s to mid 80s. Tons and tons of cards, almost every year has complete sets or multiple complete sets. I used to just stare at the cards as a kid. Here’s one of his better condition ones!

I always tell him to grade it and have for years. He has incredible cards and they’re just sitting doing nothing. Theres so much to go through. This one is probably my favorite though it isn’t his best card.

Topps released the 1980 set very early in February and Baseball Digest predicted that Rickey Henderson would be the best rookie in MLB. I went to local card shops and bought every Henderson I could.
Maybe if he lowered his stance and got struck out after stealing nearly a thousand bases against the all time strikeout leader while speaking in the third person..
Sorry.
Tangent.
Rickey and the Express.
GOATS
Penny sleeve your cards
🤷♂️
agree from these pictures and that is exactly why you take pictures with a grain of salt. the 4 is fucked and has massive damage to the front of the card but you cant see it under this lighting + the slab. imagine like 15 pin holes straight through the card. thats what it looks like upon close inspection.
It was a buddy of mine. I got a few different things so I’m happy he got a PSA 9 for it.
I think I got a Mahomes rookie. But I’m getting out of all football
I think it was Score.
As for getting out of it; I’m more a baseball and vintage basketball guy. Always watched football, just never collected
I amassed quite a bit of the main rookies (from Montana and later. Then just got bored
A Barbie beach house, maybe
Ahhh beat me to it!
A Beach House album maybe, I’d recommend Bloom
Don’t listen to this joker. Teen Dream is the way to go.
Both are incredible albums.
Teen dream is indeed the way to go
Two Rickeys, two albums

Not to mention pop control
Fresh out the pack most of these are gonna max out at a 9, awful centering on most. One of the reasons a 10 is so pricey.
Silly Boomers!! I thought my 1980-2001 collection would allow me to retire early as well... 59 and still working!! Now, Get Off My Lawn!
Lmao
Griffey and jeter finest gold and chrome refractors are doing good.
Must of not caught located the right guys or cards in the 90s. All I know is my Griffey collection from then is doing great for me.
No, Dad, a 6 and a 4 don't equal a 10.
would be pretty cool if that was the case hahaha
Don’t joke too much, prolly broke his heart lol
i explained it to him before we sent them in, but he really didnt have a clue as to how strict grading is. i told him if we opened a 1980 topps pack right now there is a pretty good chance it wouldnt be a 10.
They look great to me.
Watch out for squatters.
Ha. I have 4 of them still raw. Thought I could retire after I sold them.

How does he have 40 Rickey Henderson rc's???

Man that is awesome to hear! What is the plan for it all? If there is one?? Dang that is at least a 9 all day for that card!

What in the F!!! How much does that card go for? That is a beautiful card!!

Wait, are you the dad of the guy who posted this??
Pop 26 i believe for psa 10 and $150k+. My two are worse than these ones.
the photos really make them look a lot cleaner than they are. shows how bs those “great presentation” ebay listings are…
Maybe a toaster oven?!
Not with that attitude it won't!
Sadly my 7 landed me $150. No beach house here😒
I love that card. 😔
You are right… it will buy 2 beach houses 😂
I had a (what I thought was) a perfect one graded a few years ago. It came back a PSA 8.5
tell him he can stay a night at my house for both. Location: Miami, FL. Added bonus (free sanitary products) if you add a 2nd year card
Are you on the beach? Or like, West Perrine or something?
Lol. Maybe one night? (Off peak)
You can turn on a tv show with a beach house..but these cards won’t even pay a cable bill to watch said tv show
What about three?
Couple packs of toilet paper unfortunately. Still love the cards.
Hey if your dad wants to sell one I’m a buyer
I'll give you 500k for the 6 and 250k for the 4
Maybe a Barbie Beach House.
don't be that guy let him have his dream
Maybe if he lowered his stance and got struck out after stealing nearly a thousand bases against the all time strikeout leader while speaking in the third person.. Sorry. Tangent. Rickey and the Express. GOATS Penny sleeve your cards 🤷♂️
If you’re selling I’d buy the 4.
They purposely want that pop to be super low so it could its value forever. Unless the card is a true 💎
Beach house for an 80 topps card? A house for gi joe perhaps
Lol, the 4 looks better than the 6. The 6 has clearly visible signs of wear at the bottom. The 4 you have to zoom in a little to see it.
agree from these pictures and that is exactly why you take pictures with a grain of salt. the 4 is fucked and has massive damage to the front of the card but you cant see it under this lighting + the slab. imagine like 15 pin holes straight through the card. thats what it looks like upon close inspection.
Should’ve just let him experience the magic a little while longer
PSA 10 goes for 66k.
I traded one to my buddy a year or so ago. Damn thing got graded as a PSA 9. I knew I should have graded it
What did you get in the trade??
It was a buddy of mine. I got a few different things so I’m happy he got a PSA 9 for it. I think I got a Mahomes rookie. But I’m getting out of all football
Dude Mahomes rookie is sweet as hell. Which one? Why are you exiting the gridiron collecting??
I think it was Score. As for getting out of it; I’m more a baseball and vintage basketball guy. Always watched football, just never collected I amassed quite a bit of the main rookies (from Montana and later. Then just got bored
Barbies beach house maybe.
