1952-53 Parkhurst - Progress thread

[Zorro]

Decided to put together a low/mid level graded set of the 1952-53 Parkhurst. I will add to this thread as i acquire the cards. I am mostly looking for PSA 4, 5 or 6 to keep the set affordable.

***************************
Update Jan. 22/17 - First update for 2017! This puts me at 13 cards. Home renovations are underway so it will be slow for the next few. Hopefully i can snag a couple.

***************************
Update Dec. 2/16 - And just like that, i'm at 10 cards, 95 to go! The Morrison looks spectacular for a 5.

***************************
Update Nov. 14/16 - Picked all of these besides the Lach at the Expo

***************************
Anyhow let's get on with it...my 1st 2 cards!

Nice additions. Such a good looking set one of my all time favorites.

Your efforts and updates are really making me think seriously about attempting a vintage set....awesome work!

 

[Zorro]

Thank you! It's definitely a bit of a challenge finding mid-grade cards. Lots are either trashed or too highly graded. I'm having fun though. If you come across any please do Pm me.

You are right.That Morrison is very nice.Like your progress!

I think I see a slight crease on that Morrison (bottom right corner)

If there's no crease, that's not a 5.

I checked it again and yes there is a very slight indentation (wouldn't even call it a crease) on the bottom right corner, the back corner is perfect. It's a lot more obvious on the scan than in person. That being said I will take 5s like this all day long with awesome centering/corners

Nice work so far, looking forward to seeing the next batch!

Nice snags there. PSA has gotten tougher on their grades, I'd bet a few years ago those would have been 6's easily.

Very nice!
Have you considered buying raw and sending it to PSA?
