I have been collecting the 1971 OPC set and trying to complete it in the registry with some success. Then something like this happens and you wonder if it is even worth trying. WHy did this PSA 8 go for over $125.00 is beyond me, when all the others go for around 30-40 bucks. Any ideas other than it is #1 in the set.Ebay Item

    A couple of reasons . The guy that won it is a collector of #1 cards (meaning the first card in every hockey set). Secondly it was sold as a 1/1 when in fact it is a 1/2 and has been since at least June 12 .

    There certainly will be more of this card graded and im sure Gerry Chartrand benefited by listing it as a 1/1

    Well I have a about 20 1/1's from this set and I can't believe it. I have few 1/1 PSa 9's from this et and only paid $50.00.

    Its was the combination of the 1/1 card and more import it being the #1 card in the set. Steve Parthum is a very competitive bidder especially on #1 cards. I know he paid $880 for the #1 57 Topps PSA 8 Chevrifils and i believe he was the high bidder on the #1 PSA 8 1953 Parkhurst Harry Lumley at over $2200(Yawie correct me if im wrong on that). Im almost positive that if that card wasnt a # 1 card Steve wouldnt of even bid on it.

    actually, y19c, the psa 8 lumley that was part of gacvan.com's amazing run of '53 parkies went to iceplay - who hasn't been active on ebay for more than a year - but it did indeed go for $2,225. i don't know who iceplay is/was, but i guess it could have been a steve parthum alias. if not, i do remember steve p. (who i must note is a feedback deadbeat - god, i hate that!) being part of the intense bidding for that card.

    Half empty or half full? Does this not imply you have purchased many a bargain in the past. Consider yourself ahead of the curve, and start buying doubles to sell later.
