ESTANG's Graded All-Star Baseball Cards - COMPLETE - IN UPGRADE MODE

estangestang Posts: 1,262 ✭✭✭
The thread started in August 2008 and Phase 1 is finished in February 2017.

The All-Star quest is now complete of all cards in 8.5 to 10 grade from 1975 to 1989.

I would like to now upgrade the following to SGC 96 or 98; preferably already in an SGC holder:

1975 Topps #50 Brooks Robinson, SGC 92

1975 Topps #80 Carlton Fisk, SGC 92

1975 Topps #260 Johnny Bench, SGC 92

1975 Topps #440 Andy Messersmith, SGC 92

1975 Topps #530 Gaylord Perry, SGC 92

1976 Topps #240 Pete Rose, SGC 92

1977 Topps #170 Thurman Munson, SGC 92

1977 Topps #400 Steve Garvey, SGC 92

1977 Topps #560 Dave Concepcion, SGC 92

1978 Topps #200 Reggie Jackson, SGC 92

1978 Topps #245 Rick Burleson, SGC 92

1978 Topps #560 Dave Parker, SGC 92

I will continue to add to the thread as I pick up cards from 1968 to 1974 in SGC 92 or 96 condition. Phase 2 officially begins...
Enjoy your collection!

    Rice -- like JR Richard was robbed of the All-Star designation from 1981 -- much like Freddie Patek from 1979 -- shame on the Topps proofer(s)...

    Here's who started the 1980 All-Star Game for the N.L. --- Not Jim Bibby, who didn't deserve the designation on his 81 card.

    J.R. Richard was the man...

    Yes he was! His 81 would have looked so much better with the All Star designation.

    I believe he did. I understand he's a notoriously tough sig request to get.

    Just realized the Singleton All-Star appears to have a black pen mark on it or a print defect in the upper right -- cannot tell. Looks like black pen to me...oh well..
