Reed Kasaoka is the head buyer of the Sports Division at Dave & Adam's. His primary responsibility is traveling all over the country, buying private collections out of people’s closets, bedrooms, attics, basements, garages, and storage units, as well as complete inventories of show dealers, shop owners, autograph dealers, and distributors. Reed comes up with some amazing finds – rarely seen unopened boxes, quality graded cards, certified autographed memorabilia, and much more.
We have tagged all of his acquisitions as a Reed Buy so you’ll know where to look first for all of his deals. Almost every item is “one-of-a-kind” – so when you see something interesting, don’t hesitate, because there are likely many other collectors who are thinking the exact same thing!
1967 Topps #581 Tom Seaver RC PSA 9 *7042
With near perfect centering, this short print is one of the toughest Hall of Fame rookie cards to find in any condition.
The aforementioned Aaron rookie was undoubtedly printed in smaller quantities and even fewer survived being thrown away, and PSA has graded 7,000 of them.
As a short printed high number card from the 1967 Topps set, PSA has barely graded 4,000 Seaver rookies, and only 95 of them have earned a PSA 9 grade (there are also three PSA 10s as well.)
