1964 Topps Giants SMR Question

gotti36

While I am new to the message board, over the past 6 months or so I have been putting together a set of 1964 Topps Giants graded in at least 7. Having completed about 85% of the set, this morning I subscribed to the PSA Population Report and SMR just to get an idea of the value and population figures for my set, as well as the cards that I still need.

My question is in regards to SMR. Can any of you more experienced 64 Giants collectors give me an idea or general range of what commons from this set graded 7, 8, 9 may be worth? I read "Commons Pricing" from the SMR section, but it didn't really help. I realize that the prices are based on market activity, and considering the relative lower populations of some of these commons, it is probably difficult to pinpoint a value.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks--

Common commons [not the short prints] go for about $10-15 PSA 8 and $30-40 PSA 9.

Gotti36, welcome .

Commons in PSA 7 generally go for $5-10.

Commons in PSA 8 generally go for $15-30 with extremely high prices for difficult commons like Ken Boyer which can push $200 at times.

Commons in PSA 9 are the most difficult to predict. You really need to look at the Population Report and follow Ebay prices. Even doing this won't guarantee any results, but to answer your question they can go from $30 to $500 for the most difficult commons like Ken Boyer and Bill Skowron.

These are good general guidelines, but I have seen some pretty strange prices for all sorts of cards in the '64 Topps Giants set.

Mantlefan and Gemmint-

Thanks for your help!

Gemmint- I've followed your registered sets, postings on this board, and your bidding on any and every PSA 10 Giant on Ebay...Not only is your collection above and beyond amazing, but your knowledge of the hobby and the help that you offer on the message board is invaluable. Thank you!
