Every Mark Grace Rookie Card in PSA 10 - GOAL!

[gracecollector]

This has been a collecting goal I started back in 2008 - a PSA 10 of every Grace RC and XRC issued. There were 13 different issued, and tonight I got the last one I needed in hand, the Topps Traded Tiffany. These look great together - just need to scan them on my work scanner now, instead of my cheap home scanner that has little depth of field.

I was thinking the same thing. Congrats on completion!!!

total investment? if you dont mind me asking.

Nice work, and congrats on completing the registry!

Did you submit these yourself to be graded? Or just pick them up as they surfaced.

 

[gracecollector]

Thanks all.

Total investment would be around $400-$450. The Score Glossy, Topps Tiffany and Leaf cost $40-$60. The others $15 - $30. The Leaf has gone down since I bought mine. The Topps Tiffany consistantly commands the most money. I got mine for $60, last one I got outbid at $75.

I bought them all slabbed. Gotta be cheaper than submitting them and hoping for 10s.

That's awesome.

Which is the toughest? I'm guessing Donruss or Leaf?

This is an awesome collection you have. Grace is my favorite player as well. I have the Score and Score glossy and both are PSA 10's as well. I bet we have 2 of only a few glossy perfect 10's.

I don't collect much of grace anymore, but I will always keep these 2 cards along with his minor league cards, an autographed ball, his first Beckett cover autographed, a 2005 Donruss Kings Jersey-Bat-Autograph 1/1 card and my favorite:

a 2003 Absolute Etched Glass 3-Color Patch Autograph Plaque #'ed out of 25.
