    Some nice stuff, for sure. Most of the lots don't have a text description yet, and many of the PSA 9's seem to have marginal centering, even diamond cuts.

    The '54 Williams is disconcerting... how can the borders be so much more blazing white than the PSA label? And than the white of Ted's name on the card? There's something funny here, either bleaching or Photoshop work - course I'm not an expert on the set, it just seems like there's something to hide. And it does have a serious diamond cut... I measure it as 59/41 at the top and 48/52 at the bottom.

    The '62 Tarkenton looks really nice.

    The 38 Bridge Street '68 set looks very nice as well.

    No such details will spoil my plans...
  • Would have to verify with cert numbers but I recognize some of those cards from the Dec auction.

    54 Williams' borders are blinding. Hmmmm...

    In my opinion, it looks like the person making the scans used a bit too much "contrast"......its not just the borders but the whole card.

  • HMMMMM....aba ball, 66 perry, 66 rose, wonder who those belong to?????
  • There are a few nice 53 Bowmans and some okay 71 Topps
    Collector of baseball PSA sets from the 1970's & hockey rookie cards; big New York Rangers fan (particularly now that they are sleeping with the enemy with Holik and Kaspiritus). Also starting to collect 53 Bowman Color as I think they are the most beautiful cards I have seen.
  • botn you are correct. i am just a football man did not even look at the baseball but many of the 56 football are same as from the dec action.
  • With 15 9's and two 10's I am a bit shocked that the 72 Harmon Killebrew IA card (lot 591) is already over $1,150 with the buyers premium. Any other 72 collectors know why? I gave up at half the price - the link is below

  • Well, that's the first 71 PSA 10 I've actually seen, the Bert Campaneris. Any guesses at what it will end at?

    I'm putting my guess in at $1,375, ending up somewhere in the Big Apple...

    This card won't go cheap. And not only because it looks like a nice card.

  • I have two 71 PSA 10's and I paid about 700 for both. Which is why I am surprised that the 72 Killebrew is already much higher. 71 10's are much nicer cards than 72 10's, but I guess there is always supply and demand

    Don't forget to add a premium for the fact that it's Killebrew. He's not the most collectable player but he is a HOFer and 500HR club member. Certainly he would demand more of a premium than a nobody.

    I see 'gaspipe' is listing his PSA 9 1969T #110 Shannon.

    Lots of 69's on the board are you going to upgrade any? I am expecting the package from NJ today they shipped on wed to me. I will forward to you your part as soon as I recieve.

  • There are some very good auctions
    but is the centering on this one really within
    the 9 range? Seems a bit OC L/R to me.

    if centering is the only issue then the new owner
    will be a lucky guy.

    Centering on the Williams measures 59-41 R-L. Taking away the 5% additional leeway for a 9 (65-35), the card is marginal but it does meet the standard.

    Thanks for the update Dave. I forgot to ship out the cards last week but I'm heading over to the post office this morning and will get them shipped today. As for the auction, I may shop for bargains but I don't see anything I have to have. I may make a run at the 1968 set if bidding doesn't get too crazy.

  • Look at lot 478. Does that meet the centering standards for a PSA 8?

    I was thinking about going for the 68 set as well but it will probably be out of my price range pretty quick. Is it just me or do the all of the big cards in the 68 set that are pictured look off-centered for the grades?

    I like the description on this lot, contrasted with the qualifier on the card.

    LOL Bruce. Come to think of it though, I don't know if I've ever seen an OF qualified card before, and I've seen some pretty fuzzy pictures in PSA slabs.

  • << <i>Look at lot 478. Does that meet the centering standards for a PSA 8? >>



    It's hard to measure that one because the edges are blurred, particularly at the bottom right corner where the centering looks to be at its worst. Based on my measurements, at best it's 70-30 L-R and 65-35 T-B. In my opinion, that card should not have received an 8NQ

    It's hard to tell because the scan is too small. Looking at them, I would say they are within the spec but marginally so. That will affect my (potential) bid as well.

    I'm with gemmy -- I get around 62/38 (depending upon where you measure). That is certainly within the standards for a 9. Just bid accordingly. Not all 9's are 52/48 or better.
  • pcpc Posts: 743
    and then there are those card PH.D's...
    anyone notice a dealer on ebay selling
    hundreds of seemingly desirable cards
    in the same format and description as
    you know who(s)???....
    i hope this post is sufficiently
    optuse or opaque.

    Early this morning I was looking at the auction titles but not clicking on any right away.When I did find an auction or two to click on the cards were all red X and some didn't even have a description.
    Did anyone else have any problems?I started from the highest page numbers backwards when discovering this.


    Did anyone get the catalog yet?

  • VirtualizardVirtualizard Posts: 1,936 ✭✭
    RobE,

    I checked the site several times today starting around 10:00AM EST and had no problems. Sounds like it might be on your end. As far as the catalog goes, what do you have to do to get it? I won over $1000 worth of cards from their Dec. auction. I know that's not that much, considering what some people spend, but don't you think that would get you a catalog? Maybe I just haven't received it yet. Does anyone know?

    JEB.
  • RobERobE Posts: 1,160 ✭✭
    Come to think of it it probably was on my end my norton reported some errors but thank God No virus.

    For the catalog all you have to do is email to subscribe.It's a great catalog and I look forward to it like a kid who waited for the Sears Christmas wish book as a kid.They sent me a question in the mail if I'd like to continually receive the catalog and I didn't call but sent an email saying yes.I hope they got it.I believe you have to email Chris or whoever it is on the superior homepage that mentions the catalog.
  • RobERobE Posts: 1,160 ✭✭
  • VirtualizardVirtualizard Posts: 1,936 ✭✭
    Thanks RobE.

    I sent an email. Hopefully I'll get a catalog soon to see what I've actually already placed bids on. image

    You would think past auction winners would automatically be on the mailing list. It's really no big deal, but that just seems like bad business. If I hadn't been reading these message boards, I would not have known about the current auction.

  • VarghaVargha Posts: 2,392 ✭✭
    The auction typically is posted on the web before the catalogues hit the mail.
  • murcerfanmurcerfan Posts: 2,329 ✭✭
    those ultra rare "grey border" '62 topps football (unitas & Tark) are hilarious.
    ooppps............ forgot to switch the border booster off the image enhancer.
    This is not the first offense, the '52 topps scans in the last catalogue are a hoot.
    I'll post a scan of one which amazingly aged to a creamy ex/mt tone during shipping.

  • I saw Chris over the weekend at Fort Washington he said the catalouges will be mailed out Monday I believe.......
