This might be one of the nicest-centered Ozzie Smith rookie cards we have seen. Our sister company, Vintage Breaks, pulled the Wizard fresh from a wax pack of 1979 Topps baseball cards - check out the condition on this Hall of Famer's RC!
Ozzie Smith is a legendary short stop. Enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame, "The Wizard" has 13 Gold Glove awards for his work in the field, earned 15 All-Star game nods, and won a World Series ring with the St. Louis Cardinals. Did you know that Ozzie actually started his career with the San Diego Padres? Before he was a Red Bird, Ozzie played for the Padres from 1979-1981 where he made an All-Star team and won a pair of Gold Glove awards.
It is as a Padre you'll see Smith in his rookie card. Our sister company,
The centering on this card is SPECTACULR! This card won't get a PSA 10 with the corner but should grade well! The PSA Pop report has only FIVE 10's on the list. This Ozzie might have been one small corner ding from number six on the PSA report.
VIDEO OF THE PULL:
Vintage Breaks is in New Jersey but we have breakers in the South and the West. This Ozzie was pulled by our VB West breaker in Arizona, Charlie G. We wanted to share this pull; it's not often you see a pack-fresh HOF rookie card from 40 + years ago look so clean! If you're interested in card breaks and looking to pull a rookie card like this Ozzie, check out Vintage Breaks any time here:

We offer many ways to evaluate your cards other than using our website, too.
If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here.
We keep a LIST of the card shows we'll be attending. Come stop by the Just Collect table and chat.
If you have a valuable collection and want us to come to you, we'll hop on the next plane out. We recently took a trip to California to purchase a collection that included three Jackie Robinson 1948 Leaf rookie cards that you can read about here.
We have another location in New York you can meet us at; read all the information here.
If you choose to mail your cards for an appraisal, we will evaluate your cards for FREE still. If you choose not to sell the cards, we'll ship them back with shipping fees paid by us!

OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY
We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!
Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
