Maintaining an extensive online inventory, Triple SSS Sports Cards is a Detroit, Michigan, firm that regularly sets up at hobby shows across the country. In July 2022, the Triple SSS Sports Cards team attended the National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlantic City.
As reported in Sports Collectors Digest, the National Sports Collectors Convention featured some of the hobby’s most noteworthy collections on display to the public. A highlight was provided courtesy of Arizona Diamondbacks’ owner Ken Kendrick, who loaned his top issues to a booth operated by grading company PSA.
Featuring 47 of the 50 cards discussed at length in a new book, the museum-quality exhibit featured items such as a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle graded PSA 10 and a 1954 Topps Hank Aaron PSA 10. Every other card featured received a grade of at least PSA 8, except for a PSA 7 Ted Williams 1954 Wilson Franks issue.
The three cards that did not make it to the exhibit were exceptional in their own right, with two on display in Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The last card is considered a “holy grail” by collectors: a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner graded PSA 8, the highest grade ever assigned to that issue.
