Anyone need any 1972 Topps baseball?

boston1918

Just picked up a ton of 1972 Topps baseball, most cards are going to average 6's, might be a few 7's in there. Anyone have needs? Looking to sell only or trade for Yaz, Doerr, or other Sox HOF'ers. Let me know.

Also, what are the real tough or rare cards from this set?

boston,

There was a thread a while back that had the "low pop cards from the 60's and 70's" in it - I did a write up on probably the 30 toughest cards in the 72 set. I can't locate it right now, but hopefully someone remembers the name of the thread and can supply a link.

The top 5 toughest are probably #178 Paul Schaal In Action, #655 Jerry Grote, #518 Wayne Garrett, #409 Frank Baker and #443 Ken Henderson. Other than the Schaal IA - there are about 20 other cards that are close and people could make arguments that some of these other cards belong in this top 5 instead of one of these.

You'll lose money submitting them if they are going to be 6's and 7's.

David is absolutely right.

I sent in a Paul Schaal In Action a few months back with great corners and questionable centering. It came back as an 8OC but I'm sure it would qualif for PSA 7 as well. While a Paul Schaal In Action PSA 8 would sell for over $300 on eBay - this 8OC went for $6. And that card is very much the toughest one in the set.

If its not an 8 - it ain't...
