    Resurrecting an old thread... I've been putting together a 55 Topps set for about four months now, largely through EBAY. This auction jumped out at me today.. IMO, you don't see this kind of card for a major HOF'er very often on Ebay. Maybe I should sell my car and go for it image Enjoy

    JMO - His prices are really steep. He's asking straight SMR for a 9. I wouldn't pull the trigger. FWIW: POP has 84 in 8; 2 in 8.5; and 11 in 9. So, rare in 9 yes, but . . .

    Top left corner (as shown) looks funky to me.


    Maybe it's the scan?


    Good for you.

    Anyone out there have any PSA 4-5-6 range cards for sale or trade from this set? I am working on a set currently?

    Chad,

    You do know there's a very nice 55 Topps Berra PSA 8.5 up for sale on eBay don't you?? image It's a 1 of 2.

    And, you can keep your car too!! I doubt the naked eye can discern the difference between an 8.5 and a 9, but your wallet sure can!

    When I picked up a Monte Irvin for my set, I noticed the registry points. So odd to see a card that in the 5-6 range that goes for $15-30 have a higher registry value than some of the heavy hitters of the set like Mays, Aaron, and Robinson. I am guessing this is based upon the PSA 8 being tough to come by, but it sure skews the mid grade sets.

    Monte Irvin is indeed one of the toughest cards in the set to find in great condition.

    Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports

    I picked up a PSA 5 for $13.50, then I noticed a PSA 8 listed at $3800. Just a slight difference.
