Is this card really that tough?

SOM

Check out this auction, for a 1967 Topps Baseball PSA 8 common

Wow!

Is this an abberation? Or are there a lot of tough commons in that set?

Thanks!

Looking at the pop report for the set, it's a relatively difficult card.

The card qualifies as an 8, but that diamond-cut to me is

The last one that I sold privately was for $225. It's one of the 5 toughest cards in the set. Additionally, I noticed the #2 Hamilton card sold below $40. This card is usually priced much higher.

Alan/Friends...

what are the toughest cards in the set? I'm trying to put together a 7/8 version.

Thanks!

I think that other than Sims, Marichal Checklist #454 is pretty tough along with 371 Jim Lonborg, and 572 Demeter. There is a tier 2 tough cards that include 196 Romano, Garry Roggenburk, and 465 WillieHorton and the Pirates team card.

Attached is a link to an article I wrote on the set a few years back.

The Sims didn't just have 2 guys battling for it, there were 7 different bidders that bid over $55.

Pretty tough card, plus ALL different bidders. Lots of competition on some of these = big $$!

$156...he lucked out....I paid $236 for mine. Yes there are a lot of tough commons in that set.
Also there are a lot of people registering the 1967 set...so you gotta figure there's a lot of competition
for a low pop (like less than 30) PSA 8 card. Of course there was a PSA 9 of this card that came up,
and the submitter got greedy and put it up for auction - went for $350 as the 1/1 PSA 9 Sims.
