PSA vintage baseball return Mickey Mantle (s) and 2026 Topps hobby box - they forgot my 1952 Mantle

What is up, YouTube? Uh, hasn't been that long. Uh, quick video. I opened up my 2026 Top Series 1 hobby box. Uh, on the way home from work, I picked it up from my local card shop. And, uh, I did get skunked. I'll just show some of the hits here. Uh, you can. So, similar to last year, it's either an auto or a relic. Got a relic of Dylan Cruz, Spencer Schwenbach, Mason Miller gold, couple of the foil packs, James Wood, Chapman. Nothing too crazy. Roman Anthony. This is probably my best card, which is funny. Um, Turk Scubble, some foil, some throwbacks. These throwbacks are from 1991. I remember getting these packs when I was younger. So, brings back some nostalgia. Um, good stuff. my I have a stack of rookies here and nothing too crazy. Um I have another box on the way, but I have a PSA reveal here of vintage cards. So unfortunately, you can see two of the cards uh came back without a grade. And just a note, I I know there's some uh I guess ruckus over PSA and their new charges. Um the crazy thing is they noted the collector's club charges. So, a bulk order of [snorts] a standard collector's club is $24.99 now, but if you don't have a membership, it's well over 30 bucks, which is crazy. Um, I don't like it either, but it is what it is. I mean, if it's going to stop junk from coming in like these uh Misarowskis, um, I think maybe that's what they're trying to stop. I'm sure they see some cues in terms of uh what happened close to the pandemic of like massive orders and falling behind. I also think they purchased SGC to kill them, but now they're pivoting based on these orders. Maybe they're going to change SGC to more vintage grading and then BGS for other like big patch cards. Um maybe some TCG. I don't know. I I think they would filter a lot of the cards through um from their parent company um to BGS and SGC, but we'll see. All right, so enough rambling. Just a quick vintage order update. So, this actually didn't take too long uh compared to other vintage orders that I've sent to PSA. So, the first one that got sent back and I saw these I don't I didn't see all the grades for these cards actually. So, this will be the first time. uh the OPG Hankar and Homer run kings minis size unfortunately. And the same thing with this 1915 Cracker Jack. Um it is real. It's just midsize unfortunately. So uh it is what it is there. Okay, first card. Uh I did see the grade to this one. This is the Opichi uh 1972 Willie Maze. Got a four. Um, so this came back with a little dust inside or some type of paper, which is strange. Um, this was this was previously an SG SGC3. So, uh, a rare increase in grade. I still feel like this is a seven. I don't know what I'm I I must be missing something here, but I guess I'll have to take it as is. Okay. Uh, I haven't seen these. These are 1969 Mantle in yellow letters. Um I I thought they were anywhere from two to a three. Um let's just turn it around. This one I thought was a two. I remember from the centering here and this blue thing going on down here. It doesn't look like an MK. It's just part of the uh uh the discoloration from the card. So this I thought was a two. I got a three. All right. One grade higher. Uh, another mantle here. This I thought this is a three. Came back a three. All right. Very nice. Okay. 64. The 64 mantle. Uh, I thought this had a chance at a five. Um, it looked pretty nice. No creases, just some dinged up corners. All right, got the four. So, one lower than I thought it would get. And oh, okay. I thought there was a piece of hair inside the case. This is a very nice 1958 Mickey Mantel. Um, very well centered. I am hoping for a three here. There is a very, very, very hard to see crease on this side, but um, yeah, either two to a three. I'm hoping a three. All right, got the three. Very nice. This is definitely a better three in my opinion. And the last card, the 54 Jackie Robinson. This is definitely a one. There's some creases. A little hard to see, but there's a crease going down um this right side. Yeah, got the one. So, got my vintage order back. Um I have more orders going out the PSA. Um I guess I'm still going to continue to send to them. I guess just some of the higher level stuff. Um, I'm going to have to rethink on some of the lower-end cards because the the cost is getting a little crazy. All right, thanks for watching.

Nothing good from my 2026 hobby box :( #vintagebaseballcards #psagrading return. #mickeymantle #crackerjack #williemays and #jackierobinson cards #sportscards
