Chipper Jones Topps basic set -- Finally started this

Bearkat21

I have been wanting to start a Chipper Jones topps basic set in PSA 10 for a while now and finally committed to it today purchasing my first two, 2010 and 2012.

Any Chipper collectors out there? Just wondering what are the tough ones to find out there in a 10.

Also, a little more ambitious, but going to start an Al Kaline topps basic in any grade. These I'll probably be submitting myself.

Thanks,

Jason

Not a Chipper collector, but 2001-2003 are generally pretty tough with the colored borders. 2002 was the toughest for my Larkin run.

I concur with LC. 01-03 pretty tough for Rickey Henderson and Roberto Alomar Topps also.

Thought those might be tough. Also wasn't sure about 2007 with the black borders

Thankfully, I didn't have to go to 2007 with my Larkin run. Black borders are always brutal.

For me 1998 Topps PSA 10 was the one I was waiting for a long time, fortunately there is one for auction right now!

Bearkat21

Thanks. I'll have to check that one out.

2001 topps is the toughest one for Griffey. Last auction was about $180....

When I started this, it was right at his HOF hype and the prices had shot up quite a bit from where they had been. I've been watching and they have started to drop, so I decided to get back in on this set. I picked up four tonight which gets me to seven. I'd like to try and get the "easy" ones out of the way and then start on the more difficult cards in this set. It feels good to finally add to this though for the first time in about 2 years.

2003 is by far the toughest required card in PSA 10. Just pop 4.

2001 is next, at pop 17 (and that's up from where it was just a couple of years ago...I can remember it being around pop 4.) 1998 and 2007 are each pop 25. Everything else is fairly plentiful.

2001 is the one I don't think I've seen pop up on eBay in a long time. Missed out on an auction for it a few years ago and haven't seen it since.

My wife got me this today for Christmas. Gets me to 8/19.

Sweet gift! My wife got me socks.

I have over 100 Registry sets but i don't collect Chipper Jones. I have held onto a 1991 Topps Tiffany Set (still sealed, etc) and am ready to part with it. Don't want to sell it on ebay because someone could buy it, break the seal, and demand their money back (ebay doesn't protect sellers). If anyone is interested in trading for it, or buying it, my email is: [email protected]
