Jeezzz guys, My computer goes down for a few days and everyone's e-mailing me .... telling me that all the 66 football registry guys are talking smack on the boards. Man, I missed all the fun!
OK, just to catch up real quick:
Mojorob.... It's better to be a Shouldabeena than a Wannabea, get your set listed!! Oh, that's right .. you don't have one yet .... AAAHHHHH
Skinsfan... Doesn't the sound of FUZZ telling Mojo that "the checks in the mail" just make you lay awake at night ... wondering where the attack is comming from next. Better cover your left flank, it sounds like their teaming up on you.
Fuzz .... I know how to stash acorns for the winter too, and if you think the breeze of me blowing past your number 3 and 4 sets gave you a shiver.... you better bring your winter coat come October ... cause the big chill of me blasting past your set number 2 is a comming! As a matter of fact, your mighty set number 1 might want to buy some ear muffs!
Davalillo .... I got some off center SGC's 88's I'm still looking to dump ... when ever you're ready.
There, I feel all better now that I got that out of my system.
By the way guys..... Jim (davalillo) e-mailed me this morning after reading the threads and said, " I am not that far behind that a focused effort couldn't catch them." He also said it was going to be his "new #1 priority to knock you all out of the number 1 slot this year."
On your mark, get set, ...... GO!

Yea you are right.........at this stage in the 1966 Topps Football hunt I am just a WantabeeWannabeena.
It is sad but true.
It is too bad that the best I can ever hope for is the third ranking on the 66 hit parade.
That is unless I hit the loto and Art comes to his senses and comes a calling....to make a deal.
But I won'y hold my breath on that happening.
Also, doesn't sound like all the money in the world is gonna buge FUZZ DUDE either.
You know FUZZ....if one set is great, then 8 sets is even ........well more great.
Fuzz will probably just clean out behind the cushions of his couch and find enough high grade 66's for yet another
set on the registry.
He'll probably name this one:
Hey Look What I Found: While Laying On My Coach Watching ESPN Sportscenter Set.
MojoRob
MY 3RD set will be named couldabeen third
4th set 100 sets in psa 8 well almost that darn fuzzdude
and just for you KIRK MY 5TH SET WE WILL CALL. what happened to all the 8,s
Between FUZZDUDES 10 sets and my 5 that should about cover all the avl 8,s at this point
Mike i did pick up on that mojo fuzz thing i guess i will have to throw in with you and dav.thats make some deals
wheres my man wolf when i need him he is supposed to protect us from evil.
I could swear i was wacting cartoon network the other day with the kids and there was a evil vilan named mojo something on the power puff girls
I heard a rumor from a little bird that Art needs some big coin for a couple of major cards he's drooling over... I'm thinking he's weakening, and the right offer might topple that set into your hands. Heck, now that Davalillo has thrown his hat back into the ring, it might be time for old Skinsfan to get out while the gett'n is good. Jim knows how to pull cards out of a rabbits hat, and with all that pent up frustration over there in SGC land... he's probably ready to blow, and may just gun for these guys.
Art,
That's funny you said that about Peachfuzz... I was just sitting here thinking if I should list my second set on the registry and call it Shouldabeenapeachfuzz... just to poke fun at Fuzz. I think the set would be somewhere near his number 3 or 4 set and stick a thorn in his evil plan to hold spots number 5 through 25 on the set registry.
It was either that or I was going to call it, "reserved for mojo if he ever gets off the couch and sends his fuzzy cornered cards in for grading, so we can help him catch up to the pack"
Ahhh it's good to be back
Mike
I think your second "PeachFuzz" 66 set is now residing safely in Pasadena MD. in the upper desk drawer
of the Shouldabenna Man.
I counted right around 100 PSA 8's in that "BAD BOY" registry set the other day.
Pretty Impressive for a Couldabeena type guy.
He sure knows the right company to keep!!
Anyway, that is the true"Peach Fuzz" set on the registry in my mind.
But I don't think Mike will be changing the name anytime soon.
So that is why I am volunteering to name my unborn 66 Topps Football Set exactly that.
Simply: PEACHFUZZ
Think of this as my Fictitious Registry Set Name Notice.
That is of course, if no one minds??
Let me know if you do, as I wouldn't want to step on anybody's FUZZ!!
I have about half a dozen crappy little slabs to start my quest with.
My goal is just to hit the registry, and see my name up in lights!!
After that, I'm gunning for Tavenner.......only 100 more PSA 8's to go.
It might be time to do a little submitting.
I've offered to buy FUZZ DUDE's couch, but he won't let go of anything!!
MojoRob
You guy's look like your having so much fun with this 66 set maybe i should start it up again. I guess i could call my set atomicpeachfuzz.
Paul.
Actually, my second set (mostly 7's) has a lot of Art's grubby little finger prints all over the holders.... (one even came with a mustard stain on it)
I've done quite a few trades with Art ... as we both collect Redskin cards, but I always feel like I'm playing the game "Risk" when I'm trading with him. You know ... when the other guys army is piling up on the border of your country, and he keeps saying, "No really, I'm just letting them rest here for a while."
As for your Peachfuzz set, I'd be more than happy to pass on my dupes 8's when you get it started, and I'm sure we'll all be able to get you into the mix between what you already have ... and what's still out there that Fuzz hasn't sucked up yet.
I was thinking about finishing my second set off with some raw EX/MT to NM and then putting it up for auction as a complete set with about 70% graded 7's, a few 8's, and the rest nice raw. I contacted Fuzz to try and pry some of his EX/MT+ raw cards off of him (since he owns 90% of the worlds population of them) and he said he just couldn't let go of ANY of them. I could hear the TV on in the back ground when I called him, and Yes... ESPN sports center was on. I also heard little peach fuzz in the back ground shouting "Daddy, I need some more penny sleeves to finish off the next case of cards the mailman just brought us." The voice was a little muffled, probably because of all of the boxes of raw 66's stacked up around his house, but it was definately lil peach's voice.
I got another e-mail from Jim (Davalillo) this morning, and he's laid out his plans pretty loud and clear. He said the straight 8 rule no longer applies for 1966's, and he's gunning for Fuzz and Art to take the top spot this year. He hinted at the fact that there will be some new PSA 9's and a few 10's that will be hitting the pop report soon. He also said that he laminated his "Fear the Fuzz" club card and has it hanging on his wall right above his computer.
It could get interesting in the next few months.
I'm supposed to meet a guy at the Fort show next weekend that has some minty 66's, so we'll see if I get lucky there. I just have to make sure I beat Art to the show. He said he was going to wear a t-shirt with my name on it and try to find the guy before I get there. So if you see someone running around the Fort show with a shouldabeena t-shirt, Redskins hat, and mustard stains on his chin... you'll know that's Art trying to skate me.
Mike
Spurned on by FUZZDUDE'S copy of his BEST OF THE REGISTRY 1966 Topps Football certificate in hand,
I could no longer contain myself!!
INSPIRED BY THE GREATNESS.....although just a copy, OF WHAT I HELD IN MY HANDS, I went out and
promptly submitted between 60-70 1966 Topps Football to PSA for grading.
That ought to at least generate 6 or 7 PSA 8's.
Hopefully that will BUY ME a ticket into this HIGH STAKES POKER GAME.
At least Shouldabenna will have someone to look over his shoulder at.
I won't be tapping him on the shoulder mind you, but at least he should be able to see a shadowy
figure bringing up the flank.
I don't think Mike is feeling too much pressure these days, especially the way
he is laying down the SMACK since his brief sabatical ended.
Even All Time Good Guy Art could not escape Shouldabenna's Smack talking wrath!!
Wow, I thought nobody messed with SKIN'S unless it was "THE FUZZ" sniping one of those 300.00 plus
PSA 9 commons for his number one set.
I seem to remember a white flag being raised and the word UNCLE being uttered over and over and over
again from the SKIN'S camp main headquarter's after that happened a couple odd times.
I don't think it was much after that...... that Glen Bure, MD. became the latest chapter addition in the
FEAR THE FUZZ Fraternity.
MojoRob
Come on in ... the waters fine.
However, I should warn you about the 66 football pool.
Mojo just jumped into the pool, but he's still over in the baby pool where it's all warm and yellow. In about 36 days he'll get his first 66 submission back from the "grader of death" and then the life guards will probably have to shut the pool down for an hour or so to get mojo's poop out of the pool.... after he sees all of those 6's and 7's come back (that he thought were going to be 8's).
Jim and I are in the middle of the pool playing Marco Polo with fuzz's other sets and running around blindly bumping into walls. But Jim's voice keeps getting softer and softer for me to hear ... as he heads over to the deep end to play with the bigger kids.
Now over in the deep end you have Art who's splashing about and diving for pennies... to save up and buy more 9's with. He really is a sight in his redskins speedo's.
And of course, in the deepest, darkest corner of the pool you have Fuzzdude swimming around like a shark... just watching Art's little feet kicking around up above, and smiling to himself.
<insert "Jaws" theme here>
So if your coming to the 66 pool, we'll all be over here waiting for you with the cold beers. Just make sure you bring some sun screen.... cause things are heat'n up!
Mike
That's not crap ..........I always dogpaddle around with a couple Baby Ruth's in my pockets,
one musta just slipped out, that's all.
Yea, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a liitle concerned about toasting approx. 400.00 on grading those 66's today.
DarthGrader seems to be working over time these past couple months on the 60's stuff.
Add this the the 1966 chipping problems.....and how the heck do you determine centering on these darn little woodey's anyway, and you certainly have all the making of a recipe for DISASTER!!
Well since DANGER is my middle name, I figured I would go ahead and take a flyer.
Mike, let's make a wager on who can get closer to the percentage of 8's I get back.
You go first.
MojoRob
Mike you can tell DAV the waters real deep if he anyone gets close i am going to talk to my buddy in the desert and will will delete our sets and combine them calling it either FUZZSKINS or skinsdude that should keep you guys busy for some time.
Mojo i am mailing all my certs to fuzz he is going to copy them and we will be putting them on ebay to help fuel on 66 quest.
Where is the FUZZ he is yet to be heard from i think you guys got him so mad hes driving to Newport Beach to pick up the 5000 card load he has at psa.
Just remember i tried to warn you guys
OK... I'll guess 66% PSA 8's ... since it's the 66 set.
Art,
I'd take back all of the jokes and smack (except maybe the speedo one
Also, with my choice of icons .... how could anyone ever take anything I say seriously?
Mike
That is a pretty darn good guess!!
OK ..........Being the competitive animal that I am, I want to say 67% in the worst way.
I mean if I can't cut the mustard on at least two out of three submissions for PSA 8's
I shouldn't even be submitting.
But, it is the 1966 Topps Football set.
Darthgrader seems to be working OT these days.
It is not October thru Dec....Prime Football Submitting Time.
Art is telling me how tough these are.
Fuzz is telling me, that this set should get some consideration as Set Of The Year, because of its difficulty.
I have submitted half a dozen cards in the past and was generally dissapointed in the results.
So I will go with my small little BRAIN on this one instead of my pride and guess 65%.
Man, it hurts to even say that!!
So .........what would a good wager be?
On a different subject, are you going to be plopped on the couch tomorrow drinking a cold one
when the Redskins draft Kellen Winslow Jr. as your new future HALL OF FAME TIGHT END??
Mojoro
65% ??!!?? I thought for sure you were going to say 67% or more.... Man, did the pool already shrivel up them cajhones of yours?
Well, either way... I wish you luck. I've got some going out next week too, so hopefully the grader of death will go easy on us this time around. He absolutely killed me on some Fleers and Philly's I got back last month.
As for the draft today, I'm actually hoping they grab the safety Sean Taylor over Winslow. I don't know if they will, but with Champ gone it would be nice to have a speedy ball hawk back there to help pick up the slack. Winslow should be a great player, but Taylor looks like the real deal too, and I think we can get by with the tight ends we have now. I keep hearing rumors about them trading up and down for different picks... of course with Snyder at the helm, you just never know what's going to happen. I just hope Gibbs keeps him in check and they fill a few holes with the later picks. We still need a pass rush and help on the D line, so if we come out of the draft with some of that addressed... I'll be happy.
Good luck again on the submits, and remember to e-mail me when you get them back so I can cherry pick out all of the good stuff
Mike
My #2 set still looks pretty good on the board to me and all I hear is idle promises of great things to come. The fact that Skinsfan and I have locked up #1 and #2 is a given and I don't think he likes you tossing marches into the dynamite shed to see what will happen. Our progress has been to advance the sets about .1 GPA per year. Advancing at a rate much higher than that may be difficult. Sense we are talking about sets that are .5 GPA behind. It would be very hard to imagine them becoming competitve for this year.
Here is the smiple math on the matter: There are only less than 140 PSA 9's that would be useable for three people competing on this set (I have thrown out one if it is pop 4 and two if it is pop 5 and so on). Over the last several months they have been grading one to two new 9's per month. So no one appears to be catching up on new material. Between what is held by "Mr. 1966" Skinsfan and myself, we can account for about 60% of the current 9 population. That means whom ever is chasing will basically have to get most of the rest available. By the time you account for distribution and what is useable and the like --- it will take basically all the 9's that aren't in MD or AZ to be competitive. I think that task, given the six months left is not achievable. I do not know if Dav is going to play or not but to date he has always used a solid common sense strategy of not over paying for cards. While that is a great strategy, it will not win in this set.
Secondly........ low pop 8's. This set has not even been graded completely in 8 yet. The top sets listed have been chasing 8's for a couple of years now and do not have all 8's listed. So not only will a challenger have to gather probably an additional 30 to 35 PSA 9's, they will also have to get several very low pop 8's.
I do have a couple of things to add though. I am now down to one card left for a solid 8+ set and that one is the checklist #132. It has not been graded in 8 yet and I do have one of the two PSA 7's. I also do not expect to get back to active collecting this summer. Several things have come up that will probably keep me away. I might pick at it a little, but nothing like previous years. All is well here and I do expect to be back just probably not this year. In a couple of weeks as the last of the cards arrive from the postman, I will update the sets. Thanks for the fun guys.
Fuzz
Don't be shy -
Jeremy
I forgot to enter the contest. I will take 40% for percentage of PSA 8's on your first submission. While you may be depressed, I think that will be better than most. They are very tough on grading these cards. Can't wait to see how it will turn out. I will try to post Fuzz 4 to give you another rung on the ladder this week.
Jeremy,
Who do you think won those cards?? I hear that the 9's do like the warm desert air.
Fuzz
The Blanda is nice, but there is only one place I will own those cards.
Seriously I was going to bid on that lot, but knew I would only be running someone up.
Very very nice . . .
Jeremy
Don't be shy -
Well it was not i is you see . I had to make a choice cash does not grow in Md like it does in that warm desert heat
My choice was go for the 66,s or a psa 9 four horseman. It was a tough call but I deferd to my original set the 55,s. I think it may have sealed my fate with the Fuzz again this year but its 1 heck of a card and a choice a can live with
FUZZ is correct when he says both sets will be unmatched for some time.These cards are just not out there i think it is by far at least the 1st or 2nd hardest set to find in 9 grade or even 8 for that matter of any 60,s issues the 62,s are the only set even close.
CONGRATS ON SOME GREAT PICK UPS MY FRIEND !!!!!!!!!!!
Kevin
I suspect that at the price you would have had to pay, they would not have been an easy resale. Thanks for the thought as we will invest the extra money wisely (you know, food, gas for the cars, etc..).
Art,
Congrats on the 4 hourseman card. I think it was a wise choice as well. My max bid was several over the hammer price and you would have been well over $300 a card to take them to MD.
And where are our friends, "Hope to finish third" and "I wanna get some cards" ?? I suspect that by not rushing to the smack talk fest here we may have bored them. In fact, they may have seen the light and moved on 90's Basketball cards. Or, it is possible that their computers have stopped working from all the tears that have been shed now that reality has set in? Or is it just a lack of sobriety from the depression now that they have figured the mess they have stepped in?
My best to all and I will see to it the Mastro cards will have a good home.
Fuzz
A pleasure to hear from you again.
Were just up here smack talkin the upstarts who seem to think that either Art or myself might somehow be easy targets.
I would be careful in the current market as I think Art is in a slowed down mode at the moment and I am planning on taking several more months or more off from any major buying. But when I come back my friend, I will let you know and I will see to it that "top $" gets paid for those gems you must have.
Fuzz
<< <i>I suspect that at the price you would have had to pay, they would not have been an easy resale. >>
Not really easy at all, but those are the type of card I don't mind getting stuck with.
The price was certainly retail. But well worth it! Jeremy
Please drop me an email at: robinson209@comcast.net
I would like to talk to you re. your extra 66's with centering issues.
As far as FUZZDUDE and.........300.00 a common, I can safely say that is out of my league.
I will hopefully snag a couple PSA 9's from my submissions.
FUZZDUDE 40% PSA 8's on my submission????
Man that would be an absolute let down!!
I will make you a gentleman's bet and say 41%
Actually, I am thinking more in the 60% range as I have some pretty nice cards.
I will post the results when they become available.
Maybe I'll even get a few that you'll need??
You never know.
Mojoro
HECK ITS HIS FAULT FUZZ AND I GOT INTO THIS WAR .CHERRS TO YOU K just kidding of course and by the way if your still in japan i think its all east or is it west?.
Fuzz my man you never stop amazing me i did of course have a couple small surprises for you but the mastro buy makes them a mute point.
Well i guess i still have my 67 phillys and 68 topps sets that should bring me that 10 k cert in oct lol.
Fuzz it could be worse just think if i tried to catch Verno,s aa set. ouch
Well i guess ONCE AGAIN !!!! its a congrats to Fuzz BUT LIKE MY rEDSKINS WE WILL REBUILD AND TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR
And mr stonegate i may have to big against my friend fuzz for those oc raws at least i can get 5 sets going with them just to keep my friend thinking lol.
Man its not even May and i feel like the skins got beat up by the boys
35% ..........well double ouch!!
Well you and FUZZDUDE obiviously know from experience what it is all about.
I will tone down my expectation meter a little bit then.
For the record then.
SKINSFAN 35%
FUZZDUDE1 40%
MOJORO 60%
SHOULDABENNA10 66%
Should be interesting.
I will post the submission results when I get them.
Mojoro
If you're going to break out the calculator and mathmatically eliminate us before the game even hits half time... well I guess we'll just have to change the math. Is the glass half empty or half full?
The way I see it is I'm ONLY 31 nines away. If I resubmit the 100 sharpest 8's I have .... I figure there's 6 nines right there. Mojo's gonna get 2 nines out of his submission and give them to me, there's a total of 8. I've got 2 in my set now, with 4 more on the way... that's 14. I should win at least 3 or 4 in auctions between now and October... that's 18. My buddy at the Fort say's he's got 2 or 3 waiting for me.... that's 21. If Davalillo resubmits his sharpest 8's he'll get 5 or 6 more 9's out of those... that's 27.
So you see... when you look through my rose colored glasses, I'm only about 4 nines away from catching you. (gotta love that new math)
Art,
I heard Verno was talking bad about your 55 set... I think you should sell your 66's and refocus your efforts on chasing him down.
PS... let's not have anymore of that "beat by Dallas" talk in your posts please, OK? Fuzz is already set up for a major defeat on his set this year, and we don't want him breaking out the calculator to tell us why his Cowboys will beat our Redskins!
Mojo
Think positive man..... you've got to get a few more nines for all that new math up above to really kick in! Congrat's on picking up Winslow in the draft too.... it worked out well for both of our teams!
Kevin
Thanks for the first shot at them.... The checks in the mail.
Jeremy
Profit is my middle name. If you get the chance to snipe anymore 9's away from fuzz or Art... you just give me or Davalillo a call. We can work you right into that new math equation up above, and take care of that little profit problem.
Mike
PS - See mojo, that wasn't so hard... logic can always be defeated by a little good old fashioned smack talk. Never let um see you sweat!
Don't look now, but a few new 66 players have registered their sets this week, and I think you know one of them.
Mike
Are your dilusions aided in anyway by alcohol ?? You did motivate me to open the can of worms that is updating multiple sets and I have registered the most of "Fuzzdude IV" with a special tribute to my friends. Also remember, that the one that ends up getting squeezed here may be poor Skinsfan. I think he goes out of his way to keep a low profile and not draw to much attention to his progress. I don't think you guys are helping. 31 9's huh?? that is only about 22% of the total pop to date. Guess that means I may have to break out a few of those 8's that I have and give them another look. I think I have a few hundred 8's to choose from, so I will have to schedule to time.
MojoRob,
I would guess you have a good eye, but like Skinsfan "Mr. 1966" said, it doesn't matter on this set. I have gotten a lot of lock 8's back in holders that say 7 and 6. I would regularly get 1 to 2 grades less than what I had hoped, I would suspect that you may get the smae unfortunate surprise. This has turned out OK though because I will use them to punish Shouldacouldbeena and Gosh!, how much more fun can you have than that?
Fuzz
I thought you might get a kick out of the new sets... and yes, I find the booze helps me type faster, plus my bids seem to win more auctions when the SMR gets real blurry.
As for your new sets... I'll let Mojo play with them for a while. I won't be updating my number one set til we get a little closer to the 4th quarter. Maybe I'll add a few 8's to my number 2 set as all the 9's start rolling in, just to keep you posted. Did you see the new nines hit the pop report the other day? better break out your calculator again.
Mike
Those were already in prior to my calculations so I stand where I was:
I do a lot of "risk management" in my line of "work" as it is, so assessing the competitive position seems a natural way to look at it for me. A quick summary:
Skinsfan -- a won before and probably has the best set now. Always a threat to win.
Dav -- has a good start and the means and ability to compete. Does not have a history of over paying for cards to win and would need to do so significant to compete this year. May pass Fuzz 2.
Shoulabeena - Nice set. Has not shown the williness to overpay for cards which he will need to do to compete this year. May pass the Fuzz 2.
MojoRob- Will wait and see based on current submissions. Same comment on overpaying.
Stonegate -- Serious potential trouble IF he decided to compete here. Probably the nicest raw set in existance to start. Could be in contention on in it alone. Clearly has the means and ability to compete. Major player if he wants to be.
That's the nutshell gospel according to Fuzz of the upper sets for that year and my "risk assessment" of being caught.
Fuzz IV made it's appearance today just ahead of Shouldbeena Lillo Fuzzskin etal.
Up to 13 sets now which is nice and if Paul "SuperPunk13" joins in, we could have another quality competitor.
Now to start compiling Fuzz V.
Fuzz
Cheers,
Kevin
Fuzz
You say that I have not shown "the williness to overpay for cards".
Hah, I say. I am deeply offended by your accusation, and I can assure you my fine man, that I have overpaid with the best of them! Heck, I've bought cards off of Skinsfan... which should be proof enough of my willingness to throw fools money into the wind.
You obviously didn't see my extreme waste of money chasing the 76 Crane Disc set last year. I can safely say that no man alive has paid more in grading fees for PSA 10 Crane Disc's than I have. PSA actually called me once to double check if I really wanted the rush service. They figured I must have checked the wrong box on my submission form, because no fool would pay that much to grade Crane Disc's.
My resume is full of overpaying for cards.... I have participated in and won cards from the finest overpriced auction houses and web sites around. I have laughed at paying 10x SMR for cards, and have been know to set $1,000,000 snipes just for the danger of it. As we speak I am crumpling up hundred dollar bills and tossing them into the fire.... and enjoying it.
Not willing to over pay for cards.... bah!
Let a 9 dare rear it's ugly head this eve, and we shall see who the fool hardy one is, my friend.
Mike
You can pay more if you would like to, and we will accept additional amounts of money over and above the prices quoted without complaint.
Just another way we go the extra mile. Jeremy
You just can't let that 88 thing go ... can ya?
Jeremy,
That's the spirit! See Fuzz ... dealers that cater to our needs!
Now Jeremy, when I buy cards from your site, is it OK to just add the additional overpayment right into the ship/insurance box on the checkout form?
Mike
Please accept my most sincere apologies. I stand corrected, you are willing to overpay to get Crane discs and apparently 88 Topps. Were those 88's in PSA 5 by chance ???
I still believe there is a difference between paying enough grading fees to get a stack of Crane Discs to hold up your new plywood coffee table and actually buying a card that someone else might someday want to own.
With the new arms dealer in town when I get back, maybe we can turn it into a real race. I will give you a chance to save up your pennies. You night need them to get those last four nines that you need.
Jeremy,
It is that unique since of doing business that has made you so much fun to do business with. I will keep the "overpay" option in mind. If I use it enough maybe Shouldabeena (or is that still -- wannabea) might be able to sneak in for fourth.
Fuzz
Or if you'd rather, I can customize an invoice before hand and you can pick the category titles.
(Insurance, Shipping, Overpayment, Prepayment, Amount Not Required, GAP Insurance, Cool Person Fee).
fuzz - gotta keep it unique, stay on the cutting edge. We are doing research right now. Today overpayment features, tomorrow preselling cards I don't have. How would you like a 1966 Topps Len Dawson PSA 10? Start paying on it today!
Sure there isn't one in the pop, but there might be one someday. And who's to say we won't be offering it.
Right now this is in the developmental stage, we haven't figured out how to get around the follow though if one is actually graded.
But if there is enough interest, we will jump right in and figure the rest out later.
Now who's on board!?
Jeremy
I was just thinking about you! I just got back from getting those 1966 mint raw cards I was telling you about, and I owe you an apology.... they did not look like Mint raw PSA 9's. They look more like PSA 10's! I'm filling out the submission form as we speak, and the only real question left ... is should I get them back (and pass up your number 1 set) using the regular 35 day submission, the new special 15 day submission, or the 10 day submission.
Since the new 10's will make my 9's dupes .... maybe I'll do my second set in all 9's, and my third set in all 8's.
Great smack by the way. ;-) I'll send you a couple of Crane Disc's to use as Drink holders.
Jeremy
I think you should call the extra box on your checkout form the "shouldabeen price" .... that way when we see the card is way too under priced (say only triple SMR), and we know the price should a been at least 4 times SMR, we can just add the difference in there.
By the way I think Fuzz could sign up for your other new service for this raw PSA 10 looking 1966 checkist I'm holding in my hand. It's not on the pop report yet.... be it will be soon ;-)
Mike
he seems to be the NUMERO UNO Smack talker to boot.
How can one person be so gifted??
Ya gotta love .......the plywood coffee table line.
Mojoro
I'll mail you out some tissues...... So you can wipe that brown spot off your nose!
Plywood Mike
Your holding your end up pretty well in this deal as well.
It is just hard to smack talk when you have more holes in your set and more 6's than you do 9's. But the effort is admirable.
On the new submission, I'd drive them straight out and wait for them. I have seen a few "Minty 66's" laying around here that always seem to end up an "8" holder. Maybe yours will do better. If so, I may have to send a few back in.
You may have gotten a second break. As of today, one of the three "Final packages" is overdue and may be missing. This would still leave me one card short if does not show. DARN, DARN, DARN. First straight 8 NQ set on this monster is bragging rights that will never go away.
And lay off the Mojo man ........ he can spot a winner when he sees one.
Fuzz.
PS. On a serious note Mike, I did look over your listed set this weekend and you are off to a very good start with a lot of nice cards. Your upgrade path is still reasonable so you do have a good shot at third for year. Good work and Good Luck.
I saw on the other thread that your package finally made it. Glad to hear that, as I'd hate to see someone miss the brass ring .... over a postal screw up.
Yea, all smack talk (and blatent lying) aside... I think I'll be shooting for 3rd place with ole Davalillo hot on my heels. He's like a thorn in my side on just about every set I'm building ... he's always within a slot or 2 of me, and since we both go for pretty much straight 8's... he's always right there. You gotta love his sets though, he is everywhere.
Oh well, the smack talk was fun, but I figured I better come clean (a little) before the thread died off.
But I'm still gonna mail mojo a tissue!
Mike
you're gonna need "THE CHARMIN" in a big way when I snake you out for third place on the 66's.
Mojoro
I kinda thought that might get your attention..... ha ha, fresh meat!
Well, my friend, in the words of my old arch rival FUZZ.... I wish you well in your new quest. Just to celebrate your new found goal, I will celebrate with you by going over to the set registry and upgrading a card. I would have done it sooner but this big pile of 1962's keep getting in my way!
Lions and Tigers and Bears... Oh my!
2-ply
Are we talking your tissue comfort preference here or that new coffee table you just bought the wife ??
Mojoro
Good to hear from you again.
Yea, that desert heat can be tuff at times.... stuff keeps growing out there that's not supposed to be able to bloom. Fuzz's little oasis kingdom is surrounded by many watering holes, but I figure if I keep sipping out of a few of them... someday they may dry up.
Thanks for the great deal on the 66 Topps packs.... I'll put the check in tomorrow's mail. Maybe they will contain a few nuggets of desert gold in them.
Mike
Hey Mojo,
I can't pitch um any slower than that. You'll have to swing harder if you want to hit one out of the park.
Mike
Duncan, Glad your enjoying it. The heat is in full swing at 100 and change each day. the $$ tree has some buds, but it will be a while still. Why don't you,SuperPunk, and Nearmint and few of our other friends join us in the set. There is plenty of room and more than enough 9's to go around.
There is a new sheriff in town today and you'll never guess who ............
(I updated #1).
Fuzz
I'm sorry.... but you have now passed the "Finest Possible Set Rating" that is clearly listed right there on the set registry header. As your penalty for this violation of the PSA code of ethics.... you'll have to sell your set, and start all over again.
Hey Duncan,
The more the merrier..... But trust me, Fuzz won't sell any of his sets. Heck, I tried to get him to just sell me the plastic holder bags that his 9's came in (so my 8's could have something to look up too), and he said he just couldn't part with them.
Now his new "brown stained nose, faithful ward - mojo" might part with some of his 66's, as I hear he's going to need some reinforcement cheese for the battle of the 62's he's got coming.
Mike
PS - May we all bow our heads in a moment of respect for the old sheriff (Art "speedo" Skinsfan), as the torch is passed once again.
