New Set Registry Offer - What Constitutes a Common Card

dalew

I was going to send in some 1961 Topps Baseball Cards under the new special, but my question is what constitutes a common card?

Looking through the 1961 Topps Baseball SMR, it looks like everycard in the set that is graded has an increased price, so what is a common?

See the thread on Sports Cards & Memorabelia Forum -

Definition of a common

That just confuses me more.

I have a Don Mossi that I would like to send in. I would consider Don Mossi as a common, but he is listed in the SMR, so is it a common?

I have a Bob Schmidt that I would like to send in. I would consider Bob Schmidt a common, but he is listed in the sMR, so is it a common?

And the list goes on for more that I would consider commons.

I can only say that Charlie the administrator has said that if a card has an individual price (as in it is listed individually) listed in the SMR, then its not a common. In times past, they didn't look very closely at the submissions to see if they were commons or not (meaning you could slide a few non-commons in with a batch of commons) But, I understand that with the new set registry specials, the rules have changed and they are enforcing the definitions pretty closely. Given the amount of traffic on the board about the difinitionquestion, you may want to re-post the question on the moderated forum.

Dale,

I have submitted quite a few 1961's. I go by any card that SMR's for less than $50 in PSA 8...and it has never failed. Mossi and Schmidt are both as common as you can get.
