A tribute to the great Bill Russell. 11 basketball card & autograph showcase along with words of wisdom from my favorite interview conversation of his.

*Correction! Celts won in 86 not 87. 87 was a painful loss to Magic and the Lakers! 86 was one of the best teams in NBA history.

Why I think we're entering the BEST time to be a graded sports card hobbyist RIGHT NOW. Do you agree? Also what I see as the biggest advantages of each of the 4 major card grading companies (PSA, SGC, BGS & CSG) AND the big moves I think each one should now make.

The rarest and pound-for-pound most valuable Mickey Mantle playing-days Topps card is not the 1952 Topps. There’s no question that the 1952 Topps is Mickey Mantle’s most popular card and in my view the most famous sports card in history…but it’s not Mantle’s rarest Topps playing-days card. That title goes to a very mysterious and almost mythical card.

These PSA Graded Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial & Ted Williams vintage baseball cards all have great eye appeal to me. What does eye appeal for vintage sports cards mean to you? Are the card grading companies getting it wrong? Does the "grade" even matter?

Special thanks to JT from @TripleCrown24 Sports Cards for selling me the 1965 Mantle.
