well, i'm selling some things, so maybe I can pick a few up. But i'm hoping to go to Houston when St. Louis comes in... I've seen people posting Pujols autos on other sites... I need him on a set card!! If you do, you should definitely consider getting it PSA/DNA or JSA Certified. You know, as good of an Idea having things authenticated is, I can't stand PSA/DNA or JSA. They authenticate way too many fakes, and they reject way too many real signatures as fakes. I was trying to do that for a while, and getting cards graded... but Beckett really pissed me off, so I wont be dealing with them anymore. I was at a card show where Beckett was taking submissions, and I only had a few cards to submit so I bought box of 2006 Topps, and I pulled a Gold Mickey Mantle. Straight out of the pack I handed it over to BGS. And when I got them back, they had refused to grade the Mantle because they said the Color around the edges was restored and the card had been tampered with. BECKETT WITNESSED ME PULL IT FROM A PACK, AND HAND IT IN, and they still said it was tampered with.

JSA is usually pretty cheap at shows, too.

Beckett is the Standard for grading. They were the best. But I was just really frustrated with them and had similar problems before. They also went into a partnership with JSA a while back. So you can submit cards to be authenticated and graded.
