Well,

Here we go again. It's 9pm and there is one hour left before
one of the two remain standing.

It's Ali vs. Frazier on ebay.

Go under the graded singles category in 1960-69 in hockey.
Look for 1968 opc psa 8 1/1 and psa 9 1/1.

That is unless you have something better to do.

I'm off to see the Lakers lose the title to the Pistons now.

    Insane. I hope none of the PSA 8 commons I sold those guys less than a year ago were 1/1's. I'm afraid to look, but I probably couldn't remember them all anyway. I also noticed that Jamie cancelled a bid on the Nevin, only to reenter two other bids minutes later. Kinda weird. Do they not like each other or something?

    1968 OPC (O-Pee-Chee) - Cullen #54 PSA 9 (1/1) !....$560
    1968 OPC (O-Pee-Chee) - Nevin #76 PSA 8....$480

    note to anyone sitting on PSA 8 quality raw 68's- if you have a card that these guys don't, you'll get $500 a pop.

    ...but if both do already have it, you'll only get $16.50 a pop.

    That's not entirely true, of course, but I can't think of another hockey set where there's such a precipitous decline in the prices realized on cards that the main set builders need and on those that they don't need. Speaking of that, I wonder where the notoriousb0b was on these auctions. He seemed to be part of the '68 craziness not too long ago.

    the '67 set gets some heavy action as well, i believe from the same two guys. i've seen 1/1's sell for similar prices

    If you have more than a 1/3 then you don't have much of a chance getting prices like these. $1000 for two commons is unbelievable.

    Guys, you might notice I'm never the high bidder. I'm not crazy. I figure if he is going after cards I want he is going to pay for them.

    Actually, I hadn't noticed, Jamie. I just like watching you two duke it out for the top spot. The bloodbath itself is more entertaining than the actual results. And I do like your style, by the way. oilers11 and I used to be big eBay rivals before we ended up becoming e-mail pals. In a strange way, I kinda miss having that underlying animosity toward a certain bidder - not that I'm actively enlisting competitors or anything.

    I use a different approach . Since the psa hockey card collecting world is relatively small . I attempt to work with most of the guys building the sets. The reasons >>> it allows for everyone to benefit at lower prices, helps build collecting relationships and most importantly it gives you an outlet to sell off your sets if you have a change of heart. This approach worked very well for me when building and then selling my 54's and im trying to do the same thing with my 71's.

    The second reason is when you constantly set the bar so high on common cards for a set you tend to have other collectors jump in at higher than normal prices on other cards (in your case NotoriousBob) and it creates a false market.
    When i was collecting raw Yzerman cards i tried your approach . Went head to head bidding with the same collector's day after day. When i went to sell some of those cards it was pay back time . none of the regular collectors bid. A lesson i soon learned

    PS if im selling 68's feel free to battle it out with Joe image

    I have to agree. Working things with your fellow set builders benefits both partys in the long run and doesn't create any ill feelings.
