'58s are great

Picked up a little lot of 1958s.

I needed four of them. The big prize is the Orlando Cepeda rookie. The only way to get that card cheaply is with a defect. In this case it's the hole in the middle. Since centering is considered important to card condition, the fact that the hole is in Cepeda's center should be a big plus, right? The Curt Flood rookie was also a nice addition.

Five cards I had already. They are trade bait if anyone is interested (128, 244, 317, 392, 457)

    Adding vintage HOFers is always a good thing.

    Still cool cards regardless of condition.

    Holes in the middle of the card are unusual, can't help but wonder what caused it.

    1958 flies under the radar usually. Not sure why.

    Oh man... that Cepeda is unique. I'll see cards with torn or trimmed edges or corners. And I'll see cards with pinholes. But don't think I've seen a card with a gaping hole like that. Very cool.

    Yeah, I don't think you had to fret about bidding against any of the graders for that Cepeda.
