About Greg Bussineau
And Legacy Sports Rarities
Greg Bussineau founded Superior Sportcard in 1982 and Superior Sports Auctions in 1996. Superior Sports Auctions was purchased by Collectors Universe (parent company of PSA) in 1999, upon agreement that Bussineau would stay on and run the company for three years. At the end of this agreement, Greg Bussineau decided to go back into business for himself and formed Legacy Sports Rarities in 2002.
Greg Bussineau has bought and sold virtually every major important sportscard ever produced. For example, in 1987 he bought and sold the world’s finest known T206 Honus Wagner card. More recently, this famous Copeland-Gretzky-Gidwitz-Siegel example, graded NM-MT 8 by PSA, sold for close to $3,000,000. In addition, under his management, Superior companies have bought and sold all three of the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards graded Gem Mint 10 by PSA. He has been instrumental in helping to assemble some of the greatest sportscard collections in history, including the James Copeland, Marshall Fogel, Charles Merkel, David Hall (founder of PSA), and Donald Spence collections. He was also chosen to auction off the personal memorabilia collection of basketball Hall-of-Famer Bill Sharman, as well as the personal sportscard collection of PSA founder David Hall. Bussineau was one of three people who helped to formulate the grading standards employed by PSA - the world’s largest independent third-party grading service.
Over the years, Greg Bussineau has accumulated a blue-chip client list of close to 4,000 collectors. He’s enjoyed ongoing business relationships with numerous clients for decades. Virtually every major buyer or seller of important sportscards is a Legacy customer.
