Dallas Braden's collection is loaded with sentimental value

From personal mentors, to baseball icons, to legendary peers, to priceless personal memories, former Major League pitcher Dallas Braden has built a card collection that checks all of those boxes. During a recent visit to PSA, Braden shared some personal favorites from a recent grading submission, including a prized piece that was truly meant to be in his possession.

As a lifelong A's fan, and a fellow collector, this hit right in the feels. Thank you, Dallas.

Been a huge fan of you. I was stationed in Japan and was fortunate enough to watch your game that day on Mother’s Day. It just so happens that the enlisted club I was at was broadcasting your game, which made me very happy as an A’s fan that day, I am happy to hear that someone from above graced you with that ticket, it must be a very treasured Momento and item for you.

I just wish PSA offered sub-grades or grader notes.

Grading a cards a month, you’ll thank yourself to have some variance between just having another 9 or 10. You’ll never know you have a perfect 10 without sub-grades.
