Anyone else notice the realized prices today on the PSA 8 1966 Philadelphia FB???

Try these on for size:

PSA 8 1966 Philly Bob Brown

PSA 8 1966 Philly Mike Connelly

PSA 8 1966 Philly Chuck Howley

All went for well over 10X SMR. The Bob Brown almost went as high as the PSA 8 Gale Sayers RC from the same set PSA 8 Gale Sayers RC

So if anyone is sitting on some nice UNgraded versions of these cards, it would probably be worth your time to use PSA latest 5-day Special and get them on ebay ASAP...

    Holy Squat Batman,
    Wow.
    Didn't get the other auctions to see how the rest did but these prices I think count as a bit more than strong. These are very tough to say the least. Of the four auctions you list there were three different winners and two different bidders winning cards at over $250. Boy, I have a bunch of 8's that I would sell for a lot less than that.

    I was surprised at these prices also Jason. I believe you commented a few weeks ago that a Howley PSA 8 went for under $100 and that you thought that was cheap. I can't justify paying those prices, so I'll just wait for the next one. (Or maybe the one after that)image

    holy crap batman!!!!

    man this is a funny hobby. when I sold 2 of the 6 (4 at the time) howleys for 150 each last year I thought it was crazy and I was making out like a bandit. I also sold the only psa 9 howley for less than that 8. let's not even talk about the psa 9 hayes. rookie mistake I guess.

    I can see people going crazy once and a while for the rookies but mike connelly?? maybe dave p. had top all snipes not thinking he would ever get challenged I guess becasue he doesn't usually bid like that.

    I was going to wait until football season to part with this one but maybe I should get it up there now. right out of a pack.

    hey jason , just saw your comment "is anyone sitting on some nice ungraded cards" , not sure how many people are ditting on them. although prices have not been this extreme, this issue has been bringing heavy premiums for a long time.
  • JasP24JasP24 Posts: 4,645 ✭✭✭
    Yeah, i've seen these cards go in the $100-$150 range before, but never $250+...When the SMR says they are only worth $20, I think it keeps many people from sending them in for grading because it doesn't seem worth the grading fee. There are quite a few Gale Sayers PSA 8's, so it would only make sense that there are quite a few NM-MT quality Brown, Howley, and Connelly cards floating out there ungraded...

    I'm hoping a few more show up so i can have one too...lol

    Jason, I agree with your logic .

    a couple observations on this set, why are there 3 times as many high grade sayers as there are butkus rookies? Makes you wonder about the placements on the sheet or if 1 of the sheets was just not printed as much or destroyed even though it is not publicized?

    some of the commons have pops in the teens while there are many with one or 2 and some not even graded .

    there are other stars like unitas and starr that don't have many graded cards, granted these will lag the 2 big rookies but one would think these would be submitted not to far behind.

    I have opened several cello packs and bought a fresh lot that came with the packs. what I noticed was that some cards came up rather easily, I pulled a starr and had another pack with him showing but they were both o/c.

    the most plentiful star cards in the lot were taylor and olsen by far, I had a stack of 6 or each all in gradable condition. I had a stack of 5 nitschke's and they all were o/c .

    I have sold off all of my cards from this set and these are the questions I always wondered. since I came across this lot and started researching this set 2 years ago. I was going to build it becasue I had all the big names in psa 8 or 9 but it was impossible to find the rest so I bailed for some nice premiums. I know there are some others on the board that have some ideas on this set , WOLFBEAR where are you

    Excellent info pack...

    These are those little tidbits we need to know when tyring to acquire these cards for our sets.

    You don't need to put that Butkus card up Jason. You need to email me and tell me your price. You know I'm easyimage

    I've been working on these Philly football sets for a few years and my feeling is that the hobby treats them has "the red headed stepchild" of football. These recent prices were strong but abberations nonthe less. On the other side of the spectrum, there were a few Philly's that closed on Sunday night that went for under $25 per card. I forgot to put my snipe in and I'm sure others did too. With pops so low on many of these cards and plenty of ungraded material as well as some unopened material showing up from time to time, prices should stabilize. Patience is a virtue.

    packCollector - those Butkus vs Sayers rookie card numbers are amazing, I had never noticed that before.
    A new factor to add into all the pop number crunching I've been doing in looking at football sets from the 1960's.

    If you look at all the badly off-centered and diamond cut cards that Philadelphia actually released for sale in 1966,
    you can only imagine all the even worse sheets that they must have had to destroy, thereby creating short prints of sorts.

    How else could set that doesn't have actual short prints, have so many impossible to find cards ?

    Latest pop report shows 5 of the 1966 Philly with no card graded 8 or higher,
    and 20 cards that are a pop of only one in 8 or higher. Talk about your tough sets ...

    Just listed a bunch of 65 and 66 philly on ebay that I picked up from PSA on Saturday. A nice group of low pop 9's and 8's and Cowboys galore.

    Mr. Wolfbear

    There are now only 4 cards from the 66 philly with a no graded of 8 or higher.

    Just click on the link below if interested.

    Thanks in advance,
    Mark
