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 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 . . .
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.

You do know there's a very nice 55 Topps Berra PSA 8.5 up for sale on eBay don't you?? 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!
