Thanks for posting! The 1975 Rojas is the silliest of these, with the 1975 Griffey and 1974 Garvey close behind. The Rojas in a 9 is a $50 card, and we all know there are 9s and 10s that are basically interchangeable in terms of quality. The Rojas and Griffey 10s are pop 3 and 4 respectively, nothing to get THAT excited about. At least the Garvey is one of one.

The Rojas went for more than the 1961 Aaron 9? Silly.

I just sent in a very sharp 1975 topps mini griffey. These prices are off the charts. The 1977 Pete Rose looks like a bargain compared to those other cards.

i tried to pay them via zelle and zelle kicked the funds back saying they never signed up.

Hope they get it fixed as that is how I was planning on paying.

I put a check in the mail

Id rather have that 71 Rose instead of the 77 but I wouldn’t think it should be only 1/3 the price.

I bid on a few complete sets but only ended up with a 1960 Topps near set. Set prices were strong but not crazy. Love the 1975 prices.

Nuts. I unloaded a few of my PSA 10 1975 commons on eBay a few months back. I'd gladly sell a 1975 PSA 10 Phil Roof for $2500 and replace it with a $30 PSA 9. If anyone is looking to buy PSA 10 1975 commons for these kinds of prices, I have a few dozen more, plus Oliva who is now a HOFer.

In this auction, I only bid on the 1962 PSA 8 Kaline and Musial. Both would have been above market if I topped the winning bid so I opted out.

Do they permit wire transfers ?

This one should be interesting in February.

That Mantle's PSA number doesn't start with a 7-9 so it should be around 50% off comp prices, right?

I was the winner of the ‘62 Kaline so at least it went to someone on the board.

But it's been re-graded since cert 0xxxxxxx was before half grades were introduced, right?

It also has the new lighthouse sticker. At worst, it was re-slabbed, keeping same old cert number.

Congrats on the win. It's a nice example.

That combination makes it impossible to tell when it bumped to 8.5, unfortunately. It could have bumped in 2012 and then been reslabbed in 2022. Or it could have been bumped in 2022. The final product would be the same either way.

That much money for a Ken Griffey?

Here is a summary of my consignment at Heritage Auctions. 15 out of 23 cards exceeded Heritage estimates…and 5 cards set new records for the assigned grade: 1962 Yaz PSA-9, 1962 McCovey PSA-9, 1963 Whitey Ford PSA-9, 1964 Frank Robinson PSA-9 and 1965 Lou Brock PSA-9. Total haul exceeded my expectations by over $11,000!

Congratulations! That’s great to read and hope it means there’s strength in the market.

have been paying them by zelle without issues for a long time.

Wow that Campy is beautiful. Congrats!

UlyssesExtravaganza

I felt like I got a good price on one and overpaid for the other but no regrets. Bid on a lot but ended up with these two. Happy to add these to the collection.

That '65 should be a 9!
