    That MOSH GUY keeps adding more top sets i wonder how he does it? image

    Mike again thanks for your time please keep up the good work as 1 day maybe i can sneak back in on a set image
  • And we see once again that absolute power corupts absolyutely. Just kidding but it is good to be in control of the update schedule. It must be good to be the king.
    Congrats on climbing to the top of another tough set. Wonder how well these will hold up when the updates start to roll in in Oct. I had listed the 67 Krazy Pennants to the mix and will add my few as soon as I find where I put them. Have a few more sets on the request list from this era which should be coming up in the next month or so.

  • Mike,
    Found that the 67 Krazy Pennants (insert to the Fb acks that year) was mistakenly put in non-sport. BJ took care of that right away once I noticed and also the 63 Kahn's have been added to the list. I am hoping that you will add these to lists for the next update. Also the 62 FB bucks should be available in the next couple of weeks as well. Will keep you status as other submissions return from the 60's special from April.
    Now for the compaint. I went through your site as usual to search eBay real quick since your search engine is much much faster and less painful than theirs, when I noticed.................. the error. MOSH has simply MASHed us all for the moment with a big buying spree on previously #1 listed sets. But as I was checking Dav and my feeble fight for second, I noticed that despite having the same lowly number of Golds, I have many more silvers but was listed below him ! Hey, what's up with that ?
    But before you update, give me a day or two to get my new sets in so that I can actually be ahead there.
    Thanks for the work on the site, it does add joy to my collecting and makes my searches much faster.

    PS. Also had the 58 CFL set added to the list of FB sets.

    Gosh, Fuzz, you're right. I'll fix that next update.

  • Mike,
    Have been attempting to needle you a bit if for no other reason than to keep this thread near the top. If you give me a few days, then I will take care of the moving up ahead of him. The old fashioned way. I am surprised that this thread rockets off the front page with great speed and regularity. Many readers I hope, just not many posters yet.

    Art,
    Always room for you in the pool. No matter how you look in the speedo. The good ol' days ? I doubt it but we can have a little fun. I suspect that you are ahead at this point but I have a few in a recent submission so hope springs eternal. They seem to be very strict on grading these especially on the centering. I believe that the book has these up pretty high in price but I would have passed on them as well.

    The new strategy for MOSH at this point is to out flank him in this competition since he continues to buy up every nice available main stream set. I have had three added recently with one more pending. I have submissions in that will allow me to add at least three more as well. I recommend that anyone who wants to play for inexpensive short term glory get invovled there. I have a couple of medals for just a few cards, I suspect as we expand the set base to fill out the 30 or so plus sets, the next few months will be easy to get a few anyway. I believe that listing 1 68 test team card will capture a bronze.

    Good Luck to all and thank again to my FB dealer buddy for running this crazy thing.

  • I've finished adding the new sets that they have finished with and again I find myself looking up at Skinsfan in the lead.
    So anytime is OK by me.

    I had a nice conversation with John (MOSH). I just sold him some 61 Lake to Lake Packers.

    It looks like we will all wind up fighting for silver for just about every set in the 60's.

    What ? You spoke with the "man behind the curtain" ?

  • carew4mecarew4me Posts: 3,473 ✭✭✭✭
    Yeah, He did not want a broom though. Only high quality vinatge!

    Nice guy.

    He is actually going to open up a museum and has a few investment partners joining him.

    I had a group of Lake to Lake Packers that I offered top reg participants.
    He was clearly the most serious of the group and we had a deal worked out pretty fast.

    He told me that he is focusing on vintage FB,BB and Hockey. baseball comes later....gulp.

    Bank on the baseball cards going up in price. From what I have seen on the football side of the house, MOSH has unlimited funds. Combine that with a quest to complete and WIN what looks to be every set on the Registry and you might as well prepare yourself for the tornado. What MOSH has done in the past year in football alone is astounding. And if/when the Museum is ever opened, i will be first in line to see their collection.

  • calleochocalleocho Posts: 1,569 ✭✭
    The thing is that while in Football there are a few players, its really nothing compared to baseball.

    You already have guys in Baseball to whom money its no object, Marshall, merkle, Don luchios etc.

    I would love to see a sport cards museum!

    I would pay good money to see it and would probably spend a few bucks buying something if they have a store in the premises.

    The 62 Topps FB bucks set has been added to the mix for the next update.
    Thanks for all of your work on this project.

  • Mike,
    Several more sets have been added to the "request list" and not all by me. We will have to watch for these to pop up over the next few months as the request list seems to be growing. So if anybody wants to get a jump on the next areas, they are:
    1964 Wheaties FB stamps
    1962 Salada Coins
    1965 Topps rub- offs
    1960 Topps Metallic stickers
    1968 Topps Team Patches/ Stickers.
    Fuzz

    Also, who put up the "All-time Chiefs" set request and would you be willing to share what you are putting in it?

  • Bruised and battered .......... yet again.
    Last all four 63 Fleer PSA 9's today. Three to MOSH.
    Have had two new FB sets listed in the last month or so, the 67 pennants inserts and the 62 bucks.
    thanks to my buddy skinsfan, I am looking up on the 67 set already.
    Mr. Lemon was the first to move me down on the list of bucks and today I see MOSH as joined that set.
    Well..... to whomever wants to join....... come on in the waters fine. I'm having fun no matter where I am on the list.
    The five new sets to be added are about 80th on the list. Based on last time, we may not get these by the contest in October.

    Hey Fuzz - I got slaughtered on all those 1963 Fleer 9's as well ... image

    Also, those 1967 pennants are fun.
    Don't know if you're aware of it or not, because I've never seen it documented,
    but according to this uncut sheet, all the cards were not printed in equal numbers :

  • nearmintnearmint Posts: 1,111 ✭✭✭
    Sheesh! Next we'll be adding the individual stamps from the 1969 4-in-1 set. Maybe we should draw the line at cards, at least? No stamps, coins, or posters?

    I had snipes in on a couple of those 1963 Fleers, too, Fuzz, but I don't think they even went off. I do have a nice Buoniconti on the way, though...

    Funny how things lead back to these threads!

    I was doing some research on Mayrose Franks Cardinals cards on Yahoo! and one of the links sent me right back to this "1960s football olympics sets link.

    I gotta say, I've really enjoyed reading these posts and I want to put my "2 cents in" on how I've looked at all these great 60s sets and just can only wonder and imagine the years of "collecting enjoyment", bidding wars, dealing with "raw to PSA submissions", card shows, and I'm sure sooooooo much more, contrats to all! But especially "congrats", to the top 60s football multi-set builders, like MOSH, fuzzdude, Davalillo, Wang, skinsfan, etc.

    It just humbles me to think of the their efforts in building their great multi-sets.

    Me? Just a "little olde" single gold metal football winner (i.e., "rbdjr1's 1961 Nu-Card" set). I just "salted away" a Vern Von Sydow PSA 10, in storage, but forgot to upgrade my set! Oh well, I'll do it for 2006! LOL!

    rbd

    P.S. I'll enjoy reading all the 2005 winners (...as the October deadline for 2005 nears!) and will enjoy following all the "set update action" in 2006! Maybe I'll build that Mayrose Franks set after all (even if it is not included "in the Olympics"! LOL!)

    edit: I see that Mayrose Franks were added to the 60's olympics! Cool

    You nailed it rbdjr1.
    And you are correct that we do this for 'the enjoyment' and not as 'an obsession'.

    Really, I can quit any time I feel like it ... I just don't feel like it right now ... image

    Yeah, we definitely need a rules change. Maybe only sets that are public should count?



    << <i>How's that 1950's football olympics page coming? >>



    Hmm, was I going to do one of those? Should be easier since there are a lot fewer sets. I'll put it on my list. I'm working on a new ebay search page, too.

    Nope, Art, that probably wouldn't work too well. What I've been doing is keeping a few pages like "Sonny's Jewelry," "Remodeling Your Kitchen," and "19 Secrets to a Happy Marriage" bookmarked for when she walks into my office. image
  • DavalilloDavalillo Posts: 1,846 ✭✭
    Fuzzdude tied for first????!!!!

    Where are all these new sets coming from?

    I guess this is going to require me garding my remaining Philadelphia, Kahn's, Topps and CFL sets--annd starting some of these less known ones.

    LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

    << <i>Where are all these new sets coming from? >>



    Well, I can say at least that it's been an education for me. I didn't know some of these sets existed. What's next, Fuzz?

    Mike
  • Mike,
    Those had been sitting around for awhile for the most part and I just finally got around to adding some of them. I have been spending a lot more time recently on 70's FB and BB stuff as far as cards go and most of my time rebuilding a wrapper collection. Just back to having fun.
    If Dav wants to play (welcome back Jim, we have missed you), I can always accomodate.
    When we started this thread and this "game", it wasn't clear how much MOSH was to spend but it was clear that it was going to be a lot. Seemed the easier way around to pick up some more obscure items and keep up without commiting financial suicide. Hindsight says that wasn't a bad move and I have been introduced to sets that I had never seen. Most of which I actually like.
    I think the tally for sets that PSA grades that qualify for this is in the mid-30's so we are nearly rounded out at this point. That should keep the work from expanding and I will be glad to pitch in some time Mike if it will help the cause (I can do the excel spreadsheet version of the list if it will help).
    Jeremy, Didn't realize I was getting in the way anywhere. Sorry if they are yours, not so sorry if they are for our buddy.
    Fuzz
    PS. If we add 60's BB and FB then I am ahead of MOSH but maybe not Dav !?!

    No--I think you would still be ahead Fuzz--I would do best in all-sports-all years pre 1970.

    But I do have a strategy to compete in 2006.

    Dav
  • Dav,
    I'm taking grief from a guy who's first places are for Mayrose and Stancraft ?
    Seriously, the grade them all approach is the same one that MOSH used when he first game in and won several awards that way. If you do that you will as well as CFL and Kahn's in particular will not see competitive sets for years to come. The Topps and the Philly's may be a bit tougher but a complete set will get you in the game. I am sure you will be competitive and I have been surprised as to how long some of the "low hanging fruit" that I have gotten credit for has hung around.
    Skinsfan,
    I paid less to get my college degree than the BIN on that Namath !

  • Dav,
    Just wanted to let you know to take a peek at 64 Topps tonight. Will be looking for a few others with you where the update might change things. Hoping to give you the same sled dog few I have had on Wang's CFL sets.

    Also updated the 61 Topps for Mr. Vineyard just so he could get a current look at the positioning.

  • DavalilloDavalillo Posts: 1,846 ✭✭
    OOOh, I didn't like that one.

    I may have to retreat and talk with my VP of Set Registry Strategy on Football Sets--Mr. Couldabeena--to figure out how to respond.

    Dav
  • Mr Couldabeena ?!?!
    I think we have found the root of your set registry strategy issues.
    Seriously, pricing on 64's is incredible at this point. Adding a 9 is a ridiculous cost. They are almost as bad as 66's these days. Even some of the tougher 8's are going for a lot. Considering the interest on the set doesn't seem to high, I would be surprised if the high prices can sustain. Fortunately, I picked up a lot of 9's (and a 10) early in the game.
    I also up'd the second place ante on 67's just to make sure you didn't want to take a run at that one.
    Godd Luck (and with that VP you will need it),

    Fuzz,

    Funny.

    I think its all due to ShoppingLucy100--he is beating me in everything. I would say maybe its time to step back for awhile but I can't let your challenge go unanswered. As soon as Couldabeena emerges from his stupor following the Redskins win, we will put together a strategy.

    Dav
  • DavalilloDavalillo Posts: 1,846 ✭✭
    Fuzz,

    Pay attention--Mike(Couldabeena) is ready to respond with the strategy tonight. Maybe he has cut a deal with Mosh to buy his secondary sets for me from the 60s. Or maybe he has convinced Artie to throw in his chips with me--whatever it is I think you're in trouble.
