POP REPORT - SMR

HECK55

I know this will probably catch a lot of flack because it is not something "E-Special" such as 72 Topps Basebal!! But anyway I sometimes go way out and collect something probably not too accepted here on the "SET REGISTRY" - - such as 96/97 Basketball! I have tried to keep this under wraps but there it's out now! So the deal is this: I have e-mailed PSA several times to correct the SMR for this set and so far have not been able to get anything done. I know this is not BJ's area but nothing else works. They list 96/97 Finest Basketball on the SMR - "TWICE" - I know, you think "So what?" Well, both are the same - they list Ray Allen on the set in both listings - but he is the only player listed in the set! Ray Allen has had 1130 cards graded. And another player has 7523 cards graded but he is not listed - that would be Kobe Bryant of the lakers! There are several other strong rookies in this set also. I have tried several times over the past year to get this corrected but no luck. And the POP for this set is pretty good except for one player that I don't recall being in this set - I could be wrong! Anyone remember John Elway? I thought he played with an oblong ball with kinda pointed ends. Any ideas? Thanks - - - Rick

Its ok, you are among friends here. At least you don't collect Elvis cards...

Ah - Those great Elvis lyrics: "Workin on a T-Bone Steak ala-carty - Flyin over to the Golden State - Pilot came on and said in 15 minutes he would set us at the terminal gate - - - well, maybe it went something like that! No Elvis cards - I still have some pride you know!

Heck,

When was the last time you saw one of the 72 Topps Baseball collectors slam someone else for what they collect? I can't remember it happening. If you have a passion for a Set Registry item that isn't being discussed - then raise the issue yourself.

No need to be sarcastic about someone elses passion. And I wish you the best of luck on your collections including 96/97 Basketball. Thanks for listening.

Ease up on me Frank - I did not mean to "slam" anyone with the 72 remark - it was just a jab to rile up you guys! A big portion of the posts here are on 72's and I read most of them and enjoy what you guys are doing and appreciate the task you have undertaken - it's a big set! I have no intention of doing the 96/97 basketball set - just select players. My real goal is my 53 Topps. My apologies to you 72 Boys! Aside from all that does anyone know how to get PSA to correct the problem with the 96/97 FInest basketball SMR? Rick

OK Heck,

If you were lookin to just stir things up - then MY apologies! You caught me before my first cup of coffee this morning. As for the SMR, I'd try the scatter-gun approach and shoot the note to BJ, Gayle, Lyle, Charlie and Joe Orlando and ask if they have any idea on who would be the person to help resolve this. I'm sure that you'd get someone to respond back. I know that BJ has been swamped this past week with Gayle being on vacation and the "Zardoz - 75% free grading" monster thread.

If you don't get any response within a week via email. I've found that a phone call generally gets things moving. I've spoken to Lyle and Charlie in the past and then been passed to their researcher to resolve Pop report issues - so I'm betting that thats probably the same folks you'll need to talk to.

Sorry - if I bit back too quickly. Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Thanks Frank - I'll give them a shot at it. Rick
