I recently published a video where I showed a 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan / Jerry Koosman rookie card that I purchased.
At the time, it was encased in a CSG slab, and I intended to crack it out and send it to Nolan Ryan’s foundation to be autographed. Then I was going to send it to PSA for card and autograph authentication and grading.
In the video, I asked for viewers’ feedback. What would you do? Several people suggested sending it to Koosman first. I honestly hadn’t considered it!
Thanks to some assistance from my friend Kevin, I managed to successfully and safely (and surprisingly easily) crack it from that CSG case:
And on Tuesday it was mailed to Koosman’s address along with his $10 fee.
Go big or go home.
Your Thoughts On This Format?
You may have noticed that I read every single comment on my channel and on this newsletter. I try to react to or respond to all of them. Your feedback is very important to me. So I ask this:
Would you like to see shorter, more frequent newsletter issues like this during the week, in addition to the Monday round-up?
Thank you for voting!
