Good Afternoon all:

Well I am in the market now for some really nice 1979 OPC commons. I know they are out there somewhere. I have seen so many gretzky rookies for sale that I know there has to be some nice common sets with out the gretzky. Any insight would be great, as I know what a pain in the rear the blue borders can be.

Cheers,
Darren

    oh btw, are you Darren Styles?

    The answers are yes I would be intrested in them and yes I am Darren Styles. Not the same Darren Styles on the PGA Tour last year though, he spelled his name Darron Stiles.

    newbie66? i mailed an '81 Propp 9 out yesterday to you.

    Great, I look forward to getting it. I am on the fence weather to go after the 81 set or the 79 set.

    Darren, i would personally go for the '81 set over the '79, as its a helluva lot easier to find in high grade. if you do happen to go for the 1979 set, you can have my PSA 8's for $10 each (thats what i paid for em). as for the Howe, Hull and Dryden, i am open to offers for them

    I thought that Propp would go higher than what it did. I've been thinking about starting up an '81 set, but that auction made me think that there's not much of a market for even PSA 9 commons and semistars from that set. At least not yet. The fact that I'd have to reacquire a lot of cards I once had doesn't really help my desire to start that set either.

    the Propp comes up for sale regularly. 3 have sold in the past year, with an average price around $13.50 or so. PSA 9 commons rarely come up, i think the only two i've seen are a Mike Luit Super Action ($12) and a Jim Peplinski rookie ($6.50).

    other closing prices i remember off the top of my head-
    Messier 9 (which you sold steve, it was $55 or so which was a steal)
    Murphy 9- $127 (i bought it)
    Stastny 9- $60 and $65 (i bought one)
    Moog 9- $60-$70
    Coffey 9- used to sell for $175 or so, last one sold for over $200
    Gretsky 9 (regular issue)- consistently at $200+
    WG league leader cards in 9- $25 or so each
    Dale Hunter 9- denver724 sold 2 in december for around $40 each
    Kurri 9- usually $150-$200
    Gartner 9- somewhere around $20
    Ciccarelli 9- $65

    these constitute the majority of ebay closing prices over the past year

    I hear you on the 1981 being easier. I would say that it is the second most difficult behind the 1979 set. I have a load of 1980's waiting to into PSA, but since I was trying to get most of my 85 set graded that is where the majority of my money went except for about 50 1980's.
