If a 1969 Mike Andrews non-rookie sells for $27k in a PSA-9 (POP 10), then why wouldn't a 1962 Topps baseball card with the
very difficult and unforgiving brown borders to the edge of the card...not sell for an astronomical amount when the card is a Yankees Team card with a POP of one (1) and a PSA-10!
Well, it could. It all depends on the bidders. PSA 10's are more volatile than 9s. A 1962 Yankee team card should certainly have lots of suitors and it should easily hammer well into the 5 digits. The closest comps I could find are the 1962 Maris WS and 61st HR cards that are both pop 1s. They sold for $7.8k and $6.6k respectively. The WS card sold in Jan '20 right before the run-up in prices. The 61HR card sold in 2016, so it's not indicative of today's market. I could see the card go for $50k but I wouldn't be shocked if it sold for less (or more).
That team card is probably one I would ultimately regret letting go of, unless I got a price that blew my socks off. It is an absolutely beautiful card.

I LOVE the 73 set but it will beat the joy out of you and make you question all your collecting choices.
Centering is horrible and the black backs are almost impossible to find clean.
i do not know 73 has it's problems but i think that 71 topps is the worse. my 73 is not great but i am really having a lots of problems with trying to put together a decent 71 set.
All the more reason I hope the starter set I was able to get last July was worth putting on Paypal Buyer Credit!!
Since you are a pack guy I was curious why not sell off that PSA 10 1962 and buy the best 1952 Topps sealed graded pack and hold onto it? I would not open such a pack but owning one would be awesome.

I might sell the 62. I have talked to Heritage. Still mulling it. If I do the money "whatever it is" would be used to offset the new home build. It is astronomical the cost to build now as compared to when we first built in 2004.

That is the smartest move pay off your home (as much as you can) and live in peace. Chances like that do not happen more than a few times in life if you are lucky.

I know that's a fact from personal experience. The price to build will start to drop in 1-2 years time. We will have good economic results in a couple of years. I would be very surprised if we don't.

It is easily double to triple+ the cost to build now compared to 2004. It makes your head spin in pure disbelief.

I have almost 35 years in the real estate/construction business. Prices for construction will not come down in 1-2 years or probably ever. If you put off building on that hope then you're just mortgaging your future cost increases. It can be localized at different rate increases, but it will go down if there's a complete economic collapse (and that will be temporary). Of course a good economic recession could cause rates to fall and that could help...
Always build as soon and as quickly as possible to minimize costs.
great looking cards so far. i guess the centering on most of your 73's are reason why that most of the cards are grading sevens. psa is really being real stingy on their grades. five years ago most of your cards would be easy psa 8 grades.

I redid my entire kitchen and the entire house downstairs right after COVID hit. Prices were up 200-300 percent from the previous year. I know what you're going through. In the end it will be worth it as your house will be awesome.

Why is this a 7? I see 7's with a little wear on two corners on EBAY all the time. That definitely looks like an 8 to me.
Parroting a bit what I've seen others mention on this forum and not in direct reference to the 73 Carew.
What used to be old school 1,2,3,4,5,6 and sometimes 7 are still the exact same grades, however now what previously were for most 8,9,10's are also 3,4,5,6,7's. Absurd and only logical conclusion I can think of is enforcement of Census Medians.

It has always been a very popular legendary set, those 1971s! I happen to love them myself but putting that set together with the top cards in PSA 7 will be a tough expensive (especially for someone like myself who only gets SSDI every month) task!

I really like the 73 Carew. I have been looking for a nice 8 quality card, which that is, for a while to get autograph'd and inscribed. The inscriptions ".350 BA" and "203 Hits" and "11 Triples" to commemorate his alternate Triple Crown in '73.

Also annual performance evaluation of a grader being too loose would penalize them ...buy nature if someone egregiously grades a card willy nilly 8 an to a 6 they may "seem" like they are a great grader and hence get good evaluations...just a thought...like any job how else who you asses a grader for job performance...think about that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UFFDAH ...... "One was a Min Size" INSANE!!
Everyone knows where these cards came from - and this is my BIGGEST beef with PSA!!
They have NO problem grading Oversized cards!
Well guess what - It there are authentic oversized cards there MUST BE authentic undersized cards - DUH!
and as a card authenticator they should be able to tell by the card features other than 2 1/2 by 3 1/5 whether the card is authentic or not!!!

There are many proven ways to do so but they all take more than the 8-10 seconds the grader will look at the card.

I've admired 1955 Bowman Baseball Cards since I was 12 years old in 1982. I opened a pack a couple months ago.
Going into it I new they were notorious for gum stains. The pack I had was clean as a whistle and I thought perhaps it could be stain free inside. I was wrong.
However, for me, this opening was exciting and still "Mission Accomplished" as I landed a HOF'er.

Nice cards but I hope you're building up from the bottom to the top of your sub results.
No mind blowing hits on the 73's

I still cant believe that team card was from unopened broken right here on this site.
Ouch, Stargell definitely seems low for what I'm seeing. Surface issue I take it?
Edited to add: Ever so slight tilt I guess....still seems like a 9
Man, I LOVE that Stargell. Probably my favorite of all his cards. It's just so cool.
They don't make them like that anymore!
73 set has lots of nice action cards similar to the Stargell. The Bench card as an example. My favorite card from the set is card #1 with Babe Ruth.
Hey Chris,
Did you ever send in the Seaver #3?
It just looked grade-worthy from the picture you shared.
