1934-36 Diamond Stars - Clearing Up the Confusion

The set has rich artwork, great imagery, and some really great ballplayers. That aside, many collectors find [...]

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Recently, I acquired an extremely rare N526 Kid Madden card; to boot, it just so happens to be a PSA 5 (EX) example. Although the circumstances of the acquisition leave a lot to be desired, at least I have one heck of a rare card. There are worse things than having the one [...]
