Here are a few cards that I have in my collection.... I pulled the original T3 as a buyback from 05 Turkey Red. The other 2 I got on eBay. What do you think that dual auto of A-Rod/Bonds will bring in a few years when A-Rod obliterates Bonds and Aaron???

I would definately take them out of those PSA cases before I sold them. The low grades wont help your price.

I agree with ya Chucky on the autos but I'd leave the original TR card in the slab because it authenticates it as an original TR card. I think alot of people are getting more into vintage but are scared of fakes. I know I'd probably go after that one on fleabay as opposed to the same card in better condition not slabbed.

the old card looks a lot nicer than a 1... or is it just the picture you took?

It looks like it has 2 or 3 pin holes near the top.

The original T3 does have pin holes in it. PSA automatically grades cards with pin holes as a 1, regardless of the condition of the rest of the card. :( But, I would say that it would be a 3 if it didn't have the pin holes.

Do you really think that the PSA 7 grade on the dual Bonds/A-Rod will hurt the card in the long run? It does authenticate it. And, the print run, while not published, has to be less than 10.

If your going to hold it for 20-30 years or more then I'd leave it in the slab but if your going to resell anytime soon or even when Arod breaks the HR record (hopefully)i a few years, I wouldn't leave it slabbed. A 7 grade on a 5 year old card only hurts the value IMHO.

Leave it slabbed until you decide to sell and then make the decision on whether or not to remove it...

The Bonds/ARod was a redemption and Topps shipped it in a manila envelope without even a plastic sleeve on it. The gray border on all TR chip easily and the corners were rubbed white. Oooo, I was so fustrated when it finally came in the mail last year!

Those are some really great cards, but I wouldn't ever sell them -- I'd hang on to them forever; that's what card collecting is all about.
