Another one to the first year PSA 9 collection!

94/95 Stadium Club are surprisingly tough to get in decent condition - I opened about 5 boxes of the stuff and pulled only one Hill that didn't have a soft corner or two.

First Day Issues come one per box, so with 182 cards in the set, theoretically this card is 1:182 boxes, or 1:4368 packs.

What's funny is that I have this one in PSA 9 before I have the actual RC in PSA 9.



Pop report on this one is 6 graded, 3 9's and 3 8's!

Enjoy!
 
Nice work Graham....did you grade this one yourself or buy it this way??

I am assuming PSA dont do half grades (i.e - PSA9.5?)

Also, is there any reason why they are hard to find in good nick??
 
congrats on getting one of the top hill rc graded cards , have u got refractor and cchoice gold graded rc's yet
 
thats alright gettin the gold sig (9) considering how condition sensitive they are, well done
 
Nice card :-D

Just think of all the kudos you could have got if this board was around in Hill's rookie year but its 2006 and now you just cop crap off me :-P
 
Thanks guys, Chad knows how excited I was when I found this one on Ebay.

Not sure mate, I expected buying a few boxes that most cards would come out pretty minty mint, but a lot of cards come out with slightly damaged corners or slight chipping. Not bad enough that you would worry about it if you were collecting the raw ones - but if you are looking to get them graded you want minty mint 4 sharp corners, no chipping etc. Out of the 8 or so Hills I got, only 1 was what I considered PSA 10 material. It is at PSA now, so see how correct I was when those grades come in.
 
Nice Hill RC's, especially the 2 x Gem grades, and more especially on the SP. Damn they'd be hard to find in that condition.
 
great pick-up... I hope he stays a couple of more years and bring Larry O' Brien's trophy to FLorida...but this time, ORLANDO..

hehe, i can dream, can't I?
