Hi. I am new to this board although I have been building a couple of PSA sets through the registry. Can anyone give me some insight into building the 1969 Topps football set?

    Lots of big time players if you are going after a high end set. Psa nines go for over 2 hundred on a reg basis if they are low pops. There any many other 60,s sets that do not have as much comp although most have at least 1 big dog but not as many as 69,s.good luck hope that helps

    Lots of high quality cards out there for that year,
    so you'll be able to put the set together a lot easier than if you tried to do an older set.

    I'm guessing it would take about $ 5,000 to put it together in straight 8 if you're patient.
    Do a completed auction search on eBay for 1969 psa cards,
    and you'll see how many of them are out there, and what they're going for.

    This set was my first love (well...maybe Susan Dey)

    The colors are awesome! Mint cards from this set (especially the first series) are the best ever!
    I keep waiting for some PSA 9 stars to surface to complete my set but they just never appear! Are they this scarce or are people not grading them? Either way, they aren't available much.
    Go for a nice PSA 8 set, and watch the print spots on those vivid backgrounds.
    I would personally avoid buying single PSA commons and paying all that shipping. Go to a big show and pick them up.

    Mikevt79:

    I started on a 69 FB set at the end of the summer. I've picked up about 20% of the set thus far in PSA 9. The low pop common 9's can cost anywhere from $125-300+, depending on who needs it. The star cards in 9 cost $400-1,000+. There are only 2 10's so far, and they both sold for $1,000+. A complete set sold on Maestro for $25k last month, which had both 10's, 165 9's, the rest 8's.

    The market for 8's is much cheaper. One seller may list 30 cards at once with a $14.99/card price and you might get 29 of them. If you are patient you can get them one by one for $10 or so. The stars go for $50-125. Be careful on 8's and below; the snow and print dots can get pretty bad.

    I haven't seen one card in particular that is impossible to get in high grade. I think there are at least 8 of each card in PSA 8+ by now. There are still cards that do not have any 9's though.

    Good luck on those 69'ers.
    Dave

    I've always liked this set's borderless cards a lot. Anyone know why they switched with the later series to the white border? It makes the cards look a lot more ordinary, IMHO. Maybe they were getting negative feedback about the chipping, maybe they decided the border looked better, or maybe they just messed up.

    An Alworth 9 came up yesterday that I didn't think would last this long with a BIN. The registry is interesting in that has only been one set over 25% with a GPA 8.00+. Even for a tough set like that, I'd think there would be a few.
    WANTED:
    2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25
    2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9
    Rare Grady Sizemore parallels, printing plates, autographs

    Nothing on ebay

    Well the Alworth's gone; finally gave in to temptation.

    The nicest sets on the 69's don't seem to get registered. "Travelingvaz" outbids me on a lot of 9's, but he's not registered. He's got to have around 100+ 9's by now. Also, the complete set that sold last month on Maestro had to have a GPA of at least 8.6 and that one wasn't registered either.

    Dave - the set that sold for 25K was registered and then sold by the original owner. It had some 9's and a 10 added to it before sold again for 25 big ones. Awesome colored set.
