Does the name on the second one look blurry in person, or is it just the picture? Those cards look too good to be true: bright colors, elite centering, almost no tilt. Did you find them or buy them from a trustworthy source?

They do look awfully nice but since I am no expert, I am not going to judge but I am curious on the back story on how the OP obtained these.

Personally, I am hoping for a great story and hope these cards are legit as I like hearing about things like this.

I have no concerns, will add the slabs to this thread when they come back. They came with 200 other '54's.

I put these cards in plastic for the first time in almost 70 years. Quite the thrill! Too good to be true? Naw.

Just checking. Always better in a crowd of others from the same set in similar condition. The one on the right probably just has registration issues making it look slightly blurry.
Both cards had nice rough cut edges on the left side, but don't look like anywhere else. Some scammers will post stuff like this, fishing for newbies to send them offers through PM. Just wanted to alert people that they should always be concerned/cautious and do their own due diligence.

Im no scammer of course (I'm not selling them yet), and the registration issue is just the result of my shakey 55-yo hands. Other than some light corner wear, there are no issues with these cards. They are magnificent.

Make sure you're checking for gray backs in 1-50. Sold one for $250 a few months ago after picking it up for $3.

Greyback stock? I believe these are all the cream color but thanks for the tip. I will surely check.
