Record Setting Low Pop on the Other End

With all the talk about how vintage low pops are setting astoundingly high record prices, I thought this was interesting. This morning, the #1 current lowest pop 7 or higher (7 PSA 7's, 15 PSA 8's and 1 PSA 9) in the 1968 Topps baseball set sold for only $12.55. Its #128 Astros Rookie Stars PSA 8. Stump was the seller. It got only 2 bids. EJguru was the buyer. OUCH! image

  • Well, that's because 15 PSA 8's isn't really a low pop card. I wouldn't even bother looking at the pop for 68 PSA 7's...

    Exactly. 15 isn't exactly "low pop", but I do agree that ejguru got a nice deal.

    I agree with rbeaton. While the card might be a lower pop card in comparison to the other cards
    from that issue it is not a low pop card. Fifteen eights with a boatload raw out there is not a
    big deal. Often the term 'low pop' is thrown out there to sell and market cards. I guess based on
    the issues I collect I would consider fifteen a ton of cards.image I was thinking of bidding on a Larry
    Csonka rookie the other day and saw the loads of seven's and eights and took a pass. In most
    cases, I like to get cards that have a low quantity like the red man issues. Heck, last time I checked
    the 52 red man Pee Wee Reese had eight graded Psa 8 (I think). That is a ton to me! I guess
    everyone's perspective of low pop is different.
