COMPLETED!!! - 1971 Topps Baseball PSA 7/8 - September 18th 2023
A little over a year ago I began the quest to complete this massive 752 card set.
With the addition of last years HOF inductee Tony Oliva the set is finally finished.
I would like to everyone who took the time to contact me. A few long time members
ghosted me after their initial contact which is fine. I look at it as a learning experience.
Even though we weren't able to work out a deal I would like to personally thank PNWcollector,
augustaman, JRR300, and Hallco for their interest in helping me.
And I especially want to thank Floyd Soeder ( fscards1 ), Brian Leader ( backbidder ), and
Dave Schmidt ( PaulMaul ). These 3 sellers are responsible for me being able to complete
over half of this huge set. I am forever grateful.
Here is how it went -
as of 08/01/22 - 56 cards ( mostly HOFers )
as of 09/01/22 - 111 cards ( all new cards from ebay )
as of 10/01/22 - 179 cards ( 14 from gemint's auctions )
as of 11/01/22 - 360 cards ( 44 from trades, 56 from backbidder )
as of 12/01/22 - 493 cards ( 4 from trades, 50 from PaulMaul )
as of 01/01/23 - 595 cards ( 13 from trades, 200+ cards on multiple transactions from fscards1 )
as of 02/01/23 - 689 cards ( 7 from trades, 60 from 4SC set breaks/set break prices )
as of 03/01/23 - 711 cards ( 3 from trades, 19 from ebay )
as of 04/01/23 - 725 cards ( 2 from trades, 12 from ebay )
as of 05/01/23 - 741 cards ( 16 all from ebay )
as of 06/01/23 - 744 cards ( 3 all from ebay )
as of 07/01/23 - 748 cards ( 4 all from ebay )
as of 08/01/23 - 749 cards ( 1 from ebay )
as of 09/01/23 - 749 cards ( shutout )
as of 09/18/23 - 752 cards ( 2 from backbidder, last card from PWCC )

Good luck Stephen. I have some 1971's listed on eBay this week. My eBay ID is 'gemint'. Included is a nice 1971 Gibson PSA 7 that is very strong for the grade. I have quite a few more PSA 7's that I haven't listed yet. Perhaps we can work out a deal for cards outside the ones I have listed on eBay. If interested, send me a list.
Just got some 71s back from PSA. The 7s and 8s are:
Lou Brock PSA 7
Ted Simmons PSA 7
Tony Perez PSA 7
Carl Yastrzemski PSA 7
Fergie Jenkins PSA 7
Willie Stargell PSA 8
PM me if interested. Eric
Gemint,

Congratulations on completing it! I’m glad I was able to assist you.
I just got my 1971 Mays back from grading. I received an SGC 7.5. I was stoked!
Congratulations. 🍾

Congratulations on completing the set. Sorry I was probably one of the members you were referring to. Nothing personal, I just got busy and didn't get around to digging through my inventory to see if I had more of what you needed.
Wow! Fantastic job. That was a heck of a project!
That's an awesome accomplishment. Such a cool set and an amazing one to have graded as you do.
Major accomplishment. Congrats. Post a group shot of some of the biggies. That set is a beauty and the way PSA is grading them - there won’t be a lot of fresh 8s.
Great accomplishment. Definitely a cornerstone set for a collection.
Great set to pick! Congrats!
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
I'm so jelly...
