Wow, who woulda' thunk it.....500 posts already. Originally just started it as a way to celebrate my little purchases of the '72s and look what we've done!
Jami, I just posted about all my dupes being dealt as well. Looks like our set is really exploding with popularity right now. I like that!
Mick, I agree with you on the Javier. I say it goes for $245. What do you guys think?

You can never tell where some of these cards will wind up pricewise. Especially PSA 10's...
The number of people who will pay over $200 for a 72 PSA 10 is a very, VERY small group and there are times where one or more of us will forego bidding if we've just made a $2-$3K purchase the week before. You can only buy so much before the wife starts to question why the checking account balance has dropped so much... And there is something to be said about household harmony...
Earlier this week, I won the 1/1 Billy Martin IA PSA 10 from Gaspipe for $161. I know its first series, but those of us who grew up in the NY area during the 70's have a special fondness for Martin. I expected it to go over $200. Mark Wingard's 1/1 Koosman IA PSA 10 I knew was not going cheap (High Series, tough card in 8 and 9, Met, just below HOF status, etc.). But, I figured a bid in the low $400's should be enough to bring him home to a Met fan... and I was right. But, I was looking over my shoulder for Larry Mayer's bid and got beat by Steve Axeman who works on Mets team sets. Sometimes the team set collectors will bid much heavier than the full set collectors on the 1/1's.
But even then - 1/1's don't really mean much... There was a time when I had over 40 PSA 9 72's in my set that were 1/1. Some of them are now in the 20 pop range. So, I don't mind losing when the price goes above where I'm willing to pay - I'm confident that there will be another eventually.

Frank> Something that set builders often forget about the team set guys is that the team set guys generally only need a max of 30 cards from a given set - where in the case of 72T, you need 787. That's a big difference in determining how much you're willing to pay for each card.
Thanks to a couple of large direct purchases, my set is now over 90% complete and in the 10th position. With an 8.44 GPA and additional upgrades, my set should have a legitimate shot at a top 5 position once completed. Only a few low pops remaining and I already have the Kendall card, which is supposed to be the toughest. Thanks to Jim V., Mark W. and Frank B. for all the help.

Hello to everyone. My name is Andy and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a 1972 PSA 9 Baseball set. My set is currently ranked #19 at PSA and can be viewed. My Partial set consist of 264 card all in PSA 9 with no qualifiers. All of the cards are centered with 4 strong corners as they have been cherry picked over the years. I have been a 1972 collector for quite some time now. This was actually my second time around as I sold my first one a while back but have now decided to sell this one as well. If anyone is interested or have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. My email address is the following. amontero5@aol.com
Thank you. Andy M.

Andy, I sent you an e-mail already in case you look here first.
I won a card tonight, so that brings me down to 148 cards to go! I'm trying a 'countdown' now for myself to keep me motivated (like I need it! ) in completing the set.
Puts me at the following stats....8.04 82.59% 6.40....so, little by little.

ANDY!!! HOW THE HECK ARE YOU!!!!!!! I THOUGHT YOU HAD DROPPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!!!!
Guys - Andy's first 72 set was neck and neck with me, Olander and Jarvi as we built them. Then one day he announced that he received an offer that he "couldn't refuse" and was taking the cash and would slowly start again since he built mostly by his own submissions. I remember thinking that I wished that I had made the contact instead of him because the money was tremendous at the time!
Oh - and when Andy says that he's a stickler for HIGH END, well centered cards - he is not lying. I've bought 8's from Andy where I couldn't find anything short of perfection. Andy has also done a number of deals with Mike Castaldi as well.
Welcome back to the boards Andy!

Guys. . .if you've ever dealt with Andy, you know what a stickler he is. Andy simply doen't buy just any PSA9. Any card he accepts for his sets has to be perfect. I don't know of any 72 collector who had more stringent standards than Andy. I can assure you, you'll be ridicuously happy with any card you get from him.
The sale of my three PSA 10's went well......this money raised will go along way in helping me complete my set without the wife complaining too much...............I can now pay for a 19 card lot which is waiting for me.........once received I will need less then 40 cards to finish my set.
......Thank you Frank and Bill.....

Congrats MachoDoc! #3 finest is definitely a big accomplishment!
I won a couple of cards last night (2 HI #s) on the Bay, purchased a few cards from Dave via Naxcom (which I haven't added yet) and picked up a couple of cards from an unnamed source ( ) which puts me at only 133 cards to go! Woo hoo!

I've also picked up a few cards here and there and have been adding them to my set. I'm now down to needing 131 (not counting some off-eBay deals I've got going ) to complete the set!

Another couple of off-eBay deals getting finished off should get me a lot closer. But, for now I'm down to needing 127 cards!
The 100% countdown is on! Unfortunately, it's gonna get stalled at around 20 or so left because of those tough low pop cards and/or a couple of tougher star cards. But, so far so good!
By the way, has anyone kept an eye on BBCards4U's set? He's charging up the ranks and has almost all 9s and quite a few 10s in that thing! Wow, that's gonna be a contender for a top spot for sure!

Expect Larry to add more cards anyday, I'm surprised at his aggressive buying in regard to the 72's. He was a "low ball" guy for a while. Not so anymore.
The first time I noticed Larry's name on a bid was for the Killerbrew IA PSA 10 which is still 1/1. I remember he paid over $1500 for it. I would say an agressive bid!!
....... You can buy this card from him off his website for I believe $3200+

I have bought, sold and traded cards with Larry. He is a great guy. I think he unfairly gets a bad rap on these boards. He likes high end cards and he has no problem paying for them. He is also willing to sell any card he has for the right price. I think most of us are the same way, just with more limited funds. There is not a card in my collection I wouldn't sell for the right price. The more difficult a card would be to replace, the more I would want before I am willing to sell it. We all pay for convenience. If you want the 1/1 Killibrew 10, you could have outbid Larry when the card was at auction, pay his price now or wait for the next one.

So, has anyone purchased any unopened '72 material to open and submit? I've thought about it, but never looked into it. Must cost a pretty penny...especially some of the higher series. Plus, who knows if you end up with a lot of OC stuff....sheesh, what a gamble that must be. But, gotta be some great fun bustin' those things!

Larry Is a great guy to deal with, I never heard anyone say anything bad about the guy. He did/does have a reputation as a low ball bidder and some sellers will grouse when he wins an auction because they felt the could have got more or maybe just sold at the wrong time, but by the same token; a bid is a bid and regardless, it raises the increment. I trust Larry enough to send him thousands of dollars of cards before receiving payment. Believe it or not, he does sell cards off his site at those prices too.
Arny - Buying unopened is huge crapshoot. I paid 3500 for a 1972 series 3 wax box from BBcardexchange, great box, great seller but I didn't come close to recouping the initial outlay. If I had scored a an Aaron ia in Psa 9 and the right combination of 9's and 10's it would have been a win. Alas, I didn't , no tens 33 9's including a Clemente and Clemente ia, a bunch of 8's no McRAE and some real nice raw mint oc cards. It was fun ripping them packs open though!
I have to admit that I don't have the stomach for opening up unopened material in hopes of catching gobs of PSA 10's.
I HAVE found that I've done better by buying high end complete sets. I used to buy them on eBay when I could snag them for $2K or so and at Ft. Washington - now I'm more concerned that the cards have been picked through than they used to be.
I had one set that I bought from eBay in NM-MT condition that had 470 "submittable" cards. So, I shipped them in on a $5 special about 3 years ago and came away with 0 PSA 10's, 221 PSA 9's, 230 PSA 8's and the rest lower or OC. The downside was that I was only able to upgrade about 15 cards! But, I did replace another 50 with nicer looking examples.

I have put my mostly RAW 72 Topps Complete Set up for auction on EBAY. This set was my predecessor set to my graded set, started way before I even realized about graded cards and PSA.
Mind you this set is of little interest to a PSA collector but it is still a nice set just the same. I am positive at this point in time there are more raw collectors out there then graded collectors.

That was your result 3 years ago. Care to speculate on what the results would be if those were submitted today?
I was just checking out some new listings on EBAY..........we have this seller (707sportscards) listing PSA 9 for starting bids starting out at $99 or some at $125......is this seller insane??? He has a Rick Renick card for instance. I just bought one on ebay for exactly $15.

Levi (707) is one of the most respected dealers ever. If he doesnt get his price he doesnt sell the card. I agree the $$ is very high, but a seller has the right to list at any $ amount he wishes. I dont think I'd call Levi insane.
Great snag on the Ryan! I've made some progress too, but I'm hardly a threat to you. Eric on the other hand better check his six.
BTW, nobody beats Levi. Period. Yup, his prices can be high, but he has managed to thrive in this business since 1988, and there are damn few dealers that can claim that much success.

Arny - Buying unopened is huge crapshoot. I paid 3500 for a 1972 series 3 wax box from BBcardexchange, great box, great seller but I didn't come close to recouping the initial outlay. If I had scored a an Aaron ia in Psa 9 and the right combination of 9's and 10's it would have been a win. Alas, I didn't , no tens 33 9's including a Clemente and Clemente ia, a bunch of 8's no McRAE and some real nice raw mint oc cards.
It was fun ripping them packs open though!
I HAVE found that I've done better by buying high end complete sets. I used to buy them on eBay when I could snag them for $2K or so and at Ft. Washington - now I'm more concerned that the cards have been picked through than they used to be.
I had one set that I bought from eBay in NM-MT condition that had 470 "submittable" cards. So, I shipped them in on a $5 special about 3 years ago and came away with 0 PSA 10's, 221 PSA 9's, 230 PSA 8's and the rest lower or OC. The downside was that I was only able to upgrade about 15 cards! But, I did replace another 50 with nicer looking examples.

Mind you this set is of little interest to a PSA collector but it is still a nice set just the same. I am positive at this point in time there are more raw collectors out there then graded collectors.

That was your result 3 years ago. Care to speculate on what the results would be if those were submitted today?

Great snag on the Ryan! I've made some progress too, but I'm hardly a threat to you. Eric on the other hand better check his six.
BTW, nobody beats Levi. Period. Yup, his prices can be high, but he has managed to thrive in this business since 1988, and there are damn few dealers that can claim that much success.
