Jim.

I only know you from your posts here, however I would like to welcome you and thank you for listing your 1962 Parkhurst hockey set on the registry.

Have a great day..

Rob...

Nice PSA 10 Hillman...that should provide some nice trade bait to complete the set in PSA 8s.

Davalillo · January 29, 2004 12:42AM

Robstar,

Thanks--sent in 4 hockey raw sets to be graded--all early 60s Topps and Parkhurst. I also have I believe the 53-54 Parkhurst set up.

My goal is to upgrade all of these sets to psa 8 and better. I have quite a few other raw hockey sets I may send in as well over the balance of 2004.

I was told I was not doing enough sets and it was becoming more difficult for certain dealers to find cards I needed so I had to add 13 more. I added four football last week and will be posting three more baseball sets, a boxing set(48 Leaf) and 1 non-sports(67 Who Am I).

Dav-

Was one of the sets you sent in .... 1962 Topps?

Davalillo · January 29, 2004 12:58AM

John,

1962 Topps Hockey--I think so? Thats the only one I have not entered yet--probably because the first glance at the grades looked like it would be the lowest.

Robstar,

Two quick comments on that set and a question.

1)I have both the 30 and 31 Howe's in psa 8 but psa numbered them both 30--this sort of stuff seems to happen a lot with me so I have to decide if to send it in.

2)A psa 10!! Not many cards from 1962 I would imagine get a 10 although I have not checked the pop.

3)My raw set did not come with a game card. Is this a tougher card?

The Game card is not a hard card to find. SMR on it is $175.00 and it can usually be found on ebay for 40-70 % of SMR. Its a card that is only desirable to set collectors so ive seen it sell for as $55. The 62-63 Parkhurst set is generally one of the easiest hockey sets to find high grade cards because of a find in the early 90's

but finding cards that do not have toning is a whole different ballgame

I have to disagree on that one . When i put my set together that was a pet peeve and it was no problem working around it waiting for cards with little or no toning to show up. It took me about 6 months with 80 % of the buys off of ebay. The ones that are toned arent from "The Find". The checklist is the bear of the set . I never find an 8 so i put out the cash to buy a 9.

You are correct that you cannot buy these cards sight unseen because the ones that are toned certainly distract a great deal from the appeal of the card

Randy-

Is your set registered? Lately most that Ive seen on eBay have been toned...heck even some PSA 9s have toning.

John

Yzerman19C · January 29, 2004 9:51AM

Hi John

I sold my set in October of 2002. Its registered under Lanny7 in all time finest.

The last lot of raw 62-63's i sent into PSA in July of 2003 and sold on ebay last September. I received 20% 9's 75% 8's and 5% 7's.

Davalillo · January 29, 2004 11:01AM

Wow, that was quick.

No sooner do I register my set than a set registry and message board contributor e-mails me and offers to finish my 62 Parkhurst set with all 8s and 9s and then gives me significant help on my 63 set.

I love you hockey guys.

Dav,
And while we are at it, Welcome to the FB club as well. I see that you have started high on most of the sets I saw and in fact have led to the decline of at least one of the "Fuzzdude" sets. Great job and nice start. Welcome to group.
Fuzz

Davalillo · January 30, 2004 12:51AM

Thanks Fuzz, you guys have been very welcoming as well.

Somebody e-mailed me last night with 38 upgrades or cards I needed for 66 and 67 sets.

Not sure if you collect these but plan to submit during 04, 61 Kahn FB, 65,66 and 67 Philly sets, 68 Topps and a couple of Canadian football sets I have.

Davalillo · January 30, 2004 2:51AM

Art,

Sorry. I did not have enough time to check out all the pops and evaluate the trade. Promise to get back to you by the weekend.

Art and Mike,

Thanks for the welcome.

Fuzz,

We won't tell these guys who is feeding me the 66 and 67 Topps, okay?

Dav

Fuzz · January 30, 2004 10:30AM

Dav,
I promise not to tell if you don't.
Fuzz
PS. Some of my 66 FB friends drink.

shouldabeena10 · February 7, 2004 10:36AM

Hey Fuzz,

You can tell us now.... Jim's not listening anymore

Hey Jim,

I'm drinking one right now for you buddy...... I thought I'd top this thread so that the "Welcome Davalillo" thread could be right up next to the "Davalillo Got Booted" thread for a couple of minutes. Kind of a little mini tribute to you. (I get sentimental when I'm drinking.)

psst... Jim, I got some 1966 SGC 88's you might be interested in.

(still pulling your lillo, man)

Mike
