    All 70s OPC Sets are great, excluding 1973, obviously. OPC was really handcuffed with that debacle of a set. Wish they would have rebelled and tried something more interesting for that year.

    Kiss me once, shame on you.
    Kiss me twice.....let's party.

    64 - 72

    65 Tanana & 69 Catfish need upgrade.
    70 Foster shows the diamond limit I can hack. It presents very well and will stay.

    72 Alexander is stunning! Had a moderate amount of wax on top but that’s completely gone now thx to one of my wife’s stockings. That ironically she uses as well to buff out impurities in her crafting lol.

    Two of my favorites from my registry set. Darn near impossible to find both reasonably well centered and without stray ink.

    I have 15 at PSA in the "grading" stage right now, including some real tough ones like #18 Dave Cash, #25 Rennie Stennett, #57 Reggie Smith, and #222 Davey Lopes. This is my first time subbing them, so it will be a learning experience for me.

    The remaining graded cards that I need hardly ever come up for sale as there are so few of them graded. Therefore, I've resolved myself to the fact that in order to complete the graded set, I'm going to have to sub most of the remaining ones I need. Fortunately, I have most of the needed ungraded examples. I've been gobbling them up whenever I see really nice, ungraded examples of low pops (btw, I'm not the one who bought up the ones mentioned a few posts up). I'm glad I did so starting over a year ago.

    Anyway, it's nice to see this set gets some recognition.

    If anyone has a #162 Fred Lynn and #134 Jeff Burroughs in a 7 or 8 or 9oc that they would be willing to part with, please let me know.

    Alright, some more OPC’s. Hank was once a Pop 7, haven’t checked in a few years.

  • balco758balco758 Posts: 1,393 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Best of the rest from 78 and 79 rips. These were awesome boxes. Think 79 cost me $300 or $400 from Steve back a few years. Crazy.

    Carlton and a few of these need to get submitted one of these days.

    Yes, those two absolutely caught my eye. As did the Barr, Langford, Porter, and others that are very difficult to find centered. You have some very nice '78 OPC's!

    Tim, that Fisk should be a 10. Love the top border.

  • jayhawkejayhawke Posts: 1,306 ✭✭✭

    That is a great looking Munson. Another tough one to find centered. I just went through my extras and every Yankee card is OC 90/10. I can confirm that the Gullett is DP.

    The Toby Harrah is really nice. That is a tough card to find anywhere close to your card. The Winfield!!
    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

  • JoeBanzaiJoeBanzai Posts: 11,801 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I thought the Winfield was a great looking card too!

    I agree with you that a tilted card looks worse than one that's a bit off center.

    I love the 137 Yaz and the 138 Eck! Moderately OC L to R but squared up and dead on T to B not to mention CLEAN as a O-Pee-Chee whistle they are.

    140 Griffey Sr. And 142 Goltz will need an upgrade.

    So I have 22 cards on my upgrade list through 144 so far. An 85% set thumbs up rate! Just three of those are HOF’ers. This has been one hell of a main batch I picked up from balco (Steve). Plus I ripped about a dozen wax packs.

    Royal killer 145 Chambliss no slouch either.

    I’m up to about card #80 and this is what I found off your list. If you would like any of
    them, let me know.

  • bobbybakerivbobbybakeriv Posts: 2,186 ✭✭✭✭

    Love that Chambliss. I've been looking at my own 78s (Topps AS Cards) and I literally have dozens of raw copies of most of them that I've never even sorted through. I do have many copies graded already as well. Actually, I have six 78 Reggies submitted right now (one of my all-time favorite cards). I also found a plastic case of well over 100 raw George Foster AS cards that I've never reviewed. I stashed a ton of 78 All-Stars a while back in hopes of getting to them one day. This is a great set and I am going to begin the sorting process soon! BTW - A green rubber band means "unsearched" in my sophisticated inventory system. :D




  • bobbybakerivbobbybakeriv Posts: 2,186 ✭✭✭✭

    Ok. Enough of that. I'm sure you get the picture. I DO NOT have that many raw Bretts nor Carews but the rest are similar...even Burleson! LOL I've got some work to do! I am liking the 78 set more and more.... B)

    But the green bands takes the cake. Cool! It's great to hear you are being motivated a bit? What's not to like with 78's? I mean in an age where cursive writing has become obsolete we have all of these cards in vivid color with cursive team names to look back on !

    The Eddie Murray sheet. Looking great nestled up at the top left!

    Three HOF’ers on this sheet. 155 Niekro is ROUGH but in such an awesome O-Pee-Chee way.

    160 Joe Morgan is a hair too OC for me and 161 Ed Ott needs to go. These two need upgrades.

    HOF’er Steve Carlton anchors this sheet with a very solid O-Pee-Chee style example!

    Love the Tim Foli Mets card in a Giants uni. Another solid card and I bet @grote15 loves this card too.

    Good luck with your 1978 OPC set. The Murray is extremely nice.

    I love this thread. Because it is so popular, I'll let it be known that I am putting together a 79 OPC baseball set, but in about VG condition. The only two cards I need are 51 Ryan and 343 Rose.

    Yeah, I uploaded that KC icon in 2001

    Separately, do you think this regular issue Eddie can grade an 8 given the top left corner and the surface bubble?
