Jay "Qualitycards" are you bailing out ??

Basilone

Jay-

I stumbled upon an auction for 165 different 1963 PSA 7's and saw that you were the seller. Was this one of your registered sets? If so, I hope this is the only one and that your sticking with the 65's, 66's and your other sets. I see that John Branca just started a 1963 set so I hope that did not discourage you.

I hope this is not a sign of things to come...

Just Curious,

John Basilone

Going head to head with John is a losing proposition. However, he is nice enough to sell me his "scraps". John is a driven man and will not allow himself to be beaten on any set he is building. I would love to see his collection sometime. He has really built quite an amazing collection in just 2-3 years.

If you have large amounts of disposable income it is fairly easy to dominate the set registry.

You can buy out other registar's, swallow up all auctions on Ebay, contact the best dealers etc.

While it is notable, I dont find it impressive.

A friend of mine won the KY Lottery 5 years ago for 6 mil.
If he chose too he could have come out of nowhere and been the new stud in card collecting.
Thankfully he has 0 interest in the hobby.

So, if you have big bucks, it is very easy to be "driven".

Ahhh the power of the Dollar.

I know, I know, but I'm not telling!

Jay could not resist the temptation in collecting the finest set to be made in one hundred years of cards. No other hints!

My PSA "starter" 1963 's on eBay
JOHN- Yes & No! I am bailing out of the 1963's (for the time being anyway) - And I took all the PSA-7's NQ's that were in the set, which equalled 165 different. They are on eBay as we speak, and would be a great way for anyone to have over 1/4 of the set already graded, especially if they have a Mantle or Rose graded already. There are some stars, Hof'ers and Yanks included, and the opening bid is roughly $10.00 per card, which is the lowest SMR price on any PSA-7. If anyone from these boards win the lot, I can offer a layaway plan based on the winning bid & shipping. Breaking it down to 2 payments, a month apart. Any questions, Email or shoot me a call.
I never worry about going head to head w/ Mr. Branca, cause I will lose everytime. I also have 19 sets registered, so I have many other ways to divert my hobby $. A few days ago, I added the 1956 Topps Football, when I deleted the '63 set. Kevin STONEGATE has helped me in my pursuit. And as ZARDOZ referred to, I am joining the ranks of the insane by putting together the 1970 Kelloggs set. ZARDOZ hooked me up w/ a solid deal, roughly have the set w/ 14 HOF'ers all in PSA-9's, I guess his goal was for me to lose my mind finding a Horlen. The irony is, we struck a deal last night AFTER his Horlen PSA-9 was auctioned off. As my wife will quickly agree to, No one ever said I was smart ...jay

It must be 1970 Kellogg's!

Good to hear that youve taken up another set....so you pretty much have the whole set in PSA 9 already...is that what Im reading?

John

No! I struck a deal with the Devil...errr! ZARDOZ for almost half the set (45% of the 75 cards) in PSA-9's. I really wasn't interested, but he threatened me...jay

Re: John Branca -- I have no bones about a big money player buying up massive quantities of high grade cards. I wish I had that kind of bank myself, so I could be the one doing the buying. Guys with money are a benefit to dealers and collectors alike.

Jay,

Zardoz gave me a real good deal on a PSA 9 Seaver a couple of weeks ago. He said "just to get me hooked" My wife asked me if that was like the drug dealers handing out free drugs to the elem. kids to get them hooked. I said, no, but you have the picture. BTW Paul. THANKS!!!

I believe that stage is called "denial".

zardoz51

Don't you just know it!

I'm readily seen on street corners in every majoy city, "Psst Kid, wanna try something new?"

One flash of the 3-D effect, and they're MINE!

thegemmintman

Jay, welcome to the wonderfully wacky world of 1970 Kellogg's 3-D!! Your decision to join our select ranks is an outstanding one, but you should be prepared for the occasional brain spasms. I'm sure that Zardoz has prepared you well.

thegemmintman

It's true. Zardoz is basically a 3-D drug pusher. When you get close to completion you'll be begging for a Horlen PSA 9, and that's when the 3-D Drug Lord Zardoz steps in. It will wreck your way of life, but you will be happy.

GEMMINT - Just checked the '70 Kelloggs set registry and you are the top dawg, very impressive! ...jay

RayBShotz

Jay - Thats a really nice lot of PSA 7 1963's. Good Luck. I might have been willing to venture forth on that lot if you gave me another year or two. I also love the look of those 63's.
I am still pouring my resources into my beloved 69's.

RAY - Keep in mind, over-extending yourself is the American way. I take all credit cards via Paypal, so you can string out payments forever if you like ...jay

Another Horlen PSA 9 has hit ebay!

rbeaton

sssshhhhh. Don't tell anyone.

Robert

rw2win

I was wrong. There is no PSA 9 Horlen on ebay. Don't even bother looking.

thegemmintman

I just saw it. Apparantly there are thousands of them out there .
