1972 Topps Baseball - Official PSA Thread!

ArnyVee

I've purchased some '72s from 707sportscards. Some prices were way outta whack in comparison with the current market, but others were right on the money. I picked those up that were on the money

FB

The Ryan was actually a surprise pickup to me as well! I expected the reserve to be at $2K. So, I put in a modest $1752 bid and low and behold - the reserve was $1749!!!

And Jami - it will raise me .006 in GPA.

It has now officially a real booger to move up .01...

Well.....I got in the mail today what might be my last large lot to add to my set..........16 cards.

738 cards down.........49 to go............................

lostdart58

We must keep this a secret..........if you are a EBAY seller....PLEASE do not read this.

Saturday night is always a good night for deals on EBAY....I picked up a card I needed for my set #85 NL batting leaders for less then $7.50 and a PSA 9 upgrade for $9.99.........both from the same seller so i save on S/H......

....Ya gotta love it!!

ArnyVee

The #85 card would've had at least one more bid if I hadn't picked it up this past week from Frank.

But, glad that you ended up with it!

lostdart58

ArnyVee

I've added three hi #s to my set (courtesy of a fellow board member ) and now inching closer to the #12 spot again!

Hi everyone. Have a nice starter lot of 117 different PSA 8s for anyone looking to get a good jump start on this set. I figured I'd offer it here before I went to ebay. The lot includes #s

7 25 29 34 42 61 62 63 64 66 69 71 77 81 83 101 104 110 116 118 119 121 122 124 129 141 145 149 153 156 165 171 173 177 183 185 186 193 194 197 204 206 207 210 214 215 223 227 234 236 237 238 247 252 253 259 260 261 262 264 265 268 269 271 272 273 274 275 276 281 283 284 286 305 315 324 332 333 335 349 351 353 355 365 367 369 376 378 380 382 386 393 404 417 419 427 452 458 463 464 469 478 479 481 507 529 543 558 586 588 607 604 616 617 624 625 652

These are mostly high-end cards, many of which could easily be in 9 holders. I'll sell the lot for $700 delivered. If anyone is interested PM me or email me at jason045@aol.com.

Thanks--Jason

ArnyVee

I can vouch for Jason....good guy, good cards at reasonable prices. This deal is at less than $6/card even with the shipping!

Good luck with the sale Jason!

lostdart58

Do we have a new player in the 72 set? I have noticed that Mickey's Sportscards has been buying ALOT of PSA 9s. Today he bought about 20 or more from 4SC on EBAY. I was able to snag one card from him which I needed for my set #395 Matty Alou.

ArnyVee

That would be fun to have another 'player' with the '72s. But, as long as he's not trying to get the cards that I need!

I also picked up a card last night (#301 Mitterwald)...now, I need 116 more to finish the set!

lostdart58

.....off to Las Vegas tomorrow for a week...........I will win some money to finIsh the last 6.26% of my set.........OH YEAh!!!

ArnyVee

Good luck Jami! Viva Las Vegas!

I picked up a couple more cards and am now down to 114 cards to complete the set!

By the way, thanks Frank! Got the cards!

BarkusD

Has anyone heard from Arny? I was fortunate to be on vacation when Wilma hit South Florida but it would be good if all of the So. FL guys can check in. Andy Montero are you back up and running?

beach64

I am on the west coast in Cape Coral/Ft Myers and luckily for me the storm went a little more south than originally predicted. Some trees knocked down and many lost power but not too much damage around Cape Coral. Thank goodness we are almsot done with this hurricane season.

Hi David,

I was in a discussion with Arny on Sunday and haven't heard back. I emailed him again last night and still nothing.

Lets hope all is well with Arny & Family

Mark

psa9man

David

Yes, I'm up and running once again. I saw your company's bidg. on T.V. where it showed that it was hit very hard by Wilma. My family and I are ok with very minor damage to the house and for all of you cards collectors all of my PSA 9's made it ok as well. David I'm glad you missed this Wilma Hurricane because it was scary big times. Take care, Andy Montero

lostdart58

Hopefully Arny is just without power and/or phone..............

BarkusD

Andy, Thanks for the kind words. I am glad to hear that you and your family are doing well. I am told that my home (and card collection) are ok. As you saw, my firm's offices were very hard hit. I have not been able to confirm, but from the picture it looks like my office was completely destroyed. Our assistants are instructed to remove all important items from the exterior offices in preparation for storms. I am hoping that my assistant followed the instructions. Otherwise, I will have lost sentimental photos and other possessions. In the end I am just happy that my friends and family are ok.

I understand that millions are still without power so I assume that is what happened to Arny.

gaspipe26

My company sent 110 electrical workers from Louisiana to Florida to help with restoring the power. Those boys have been working everyday since Katrina.

lowstartmick

I hope all is well with Arny. My folks live in Stuart and just had power restored last night.

ArnyVee

Thanks for the well wishes folks!

I've lost power and phones for nearly a week now and that's not all. I've also lost portions of my wooden fences, tiles from the top of my home and trees down. Fortunately, everything that can be repaired though! My family and I are safe and sound.

I traveled to my parent's home to get online here and try and get online. But, I still don't have power and no estimated time other than the "should be soon" comment that I keep getting

lostdart58

I can't help but notice that the last week or so has shown alot of 72 cards on ebay......mostly thanks to 4SC....They seem to have an unending supply of recently graded cards.

My set will be approaching 96% when my recent wins arrive.

NickM

My next addition will put me at a whopping 5% of the set complete.

Anyone looking for a Luis Aparicio In Action (#314) PSA 8? I have a duplicate that will be available FS/FT.

The supply of 9s lately has been unreal - when one dealer has 100 or more 9s at a time, it makes even a cheapskate like me look at buying some 9s.

Nick

ArnyVee

Well, I did some updating to my set and now I'm at 87.55%! Woo hoo! Only 98 cards to go!

Edited: Make that 87.80% with 96 cards to go! (Won two 4SC cards this morning! )

dude

Did anyone else notice this?

1972 Topps Paul Schaal IA #178 PSA 9 - $338.33

RayBShotz

4SC is stuck selling some stuff below the grading fees but items like this surely pay for a lot of mistake cards. As we know it's brutal trying to find that Schaal card centered.
I once stumbled on a card store in the sticks that had a monster box of 72' raw. At the time the only card I knew to be rare (always a high profile tough card) was the Schaal IA. I found 18-20 of them in the box all beautiful. Every one of them OC 80/20 or worse. All the same side short.
More nice one's have surfaced since, of course, but the hammer on this card is surely impressive!
RayBShotz

lostdart58

Like you say........the Schaal IA card PSA 9 or better will probably ALWAYS be a low pop card.

ArnyVee

Tough card and an impressive bid and win for Bill.

mcastaldi

I noticed that Bill Novick won some 72s from me over the weekend as well. Isn't this like the 8th time he's tried building a 72 set?

Mike

FB

Mike,

I don't believe that he's stopped collecting the 72 set. Yes - he took it off the registry, but none of his PSA 10's ever hit eBay. I can tell you that for certain.

Frank

ArnyVee

Once I add Eric's "gift", I'm now at approx 88% complete and down to needing 93 cards to complete the set!

BarkusD

I have fully updated my trading set, excel spreadsheet and website to reflect my full 1,062 card 1972 PSA graded sale inventory (in addition to my primary set). All of these cards are available for sale or trade (I will trade for just about anything and it doesn't have to be other 72s). I am posting this message to give everyone on the board the same opportunity to obtain some of my 72s. Many of the 8s were cards I originally purchased for my set and have been subsequently upgraded. Most of the 9s are extras from a few large lots I recently purchased. The best way to view the inventory is through my spreadsheet. If you would like a copy, PM or email me at Barkusd@gtlaw.com. You can also get an idea of what I have available through my doubles set or view the complete inventory with scans at my website http://www.southfloridasportscards.com. Discounts are available for multiple card purchases. Feel free to PM, email me or make any offers directly on my website. Sales will be first come first served so the fastest way to get the cards you want is to buy them through my website.

Also, my primary set is at almost 96%. If you have cards that I need for that set I will be happy to buy them or trade you cards you need for your set.

kennylow

I am looking for these 1972s in PSA 8 (preferably to keep the cost down) or PSA 9 (stars, Yankees, but will take other commons)

2 20 22 36 40 44 46 50 54 69 73 76 93 94 117 132 136 143 144 150 151 152 164 166 167 174 175 176 178 182 184 185 189 190 193 208 210 226 228 230 239 240 241 242 245 246 256 258 263 269 272 280 292 293 294 295 296 300 301 304 308 319 321 322 340 342 346 361 366 385 390 394 396 403 405 408 409 421 423 432 433 434 436 439 440 442 443 444 445 448 453 454 463 465 467 469 470 475 480 483 484 487 492 496 498 501 504 509 511 515 518 519 520 540 541 543 554 556 563 567 568 572 574 576 596 598 599 600 619 621 646 657 662 665 666 667 669 681 683 694 695 696 697 698 701 702 704 706 708 710 713 720 722 723 729 732 734 737 740 747 753 755 756 757 761 763 773 775 779 782

I would like to purchase these in lots of 5 or greater...to save on time and energy. In the past I was lackadaiscal about completing my set...but I've decided to put more focus on it now and finally finish it off.

Please email me at kenny98z11@yahoo.com

Thanks

lostdart58

I put my mostly Raw Set up for sale again..............This time it sold in a little over 24 hours........ I guess I lowered the Buy It Now too much. (from $1500 to $1250)

The high bid I got last time was $850....................

....just happy to get it sold at a half-way decent price......


Kennylow.......I got a bunch of dups, but none that you need...

ArnyVee

I've got nearly 20 dupes for sale or trade (not counting EOs 'gift' cards from other thread ) but only have 1 that you need Kennylow (#511).

kennylow

Thanks Arny, but I'll get that one from Barkus...I'm getting a few cards from him.

lostdart58

I see we have another completed set....Derek added his final card whoever he may be....

lostdart58

I love this auction.......mind you it is only a PSA 7 but the Mike Garman Rookie card??????? Perhaps 4SC has a sense of humor.....

beach64

That card would look nice next to a 1967 Fritz Ackley and 1963 Al Weiss rookie card.

BarkusD

I finally cracked the top 5 with the cards I bought from DSL tonight. Down to about 20 cards for the set. This has been a fun ride. I have tons of graded 72s to trade if anyone has cards that I need. I am looking for PSA 8s or 9s to finish my set. If I have an 8 and you have a 9 I'd be interested in the upgrade.

crpalmi

I just got in a bunch of 1972 PSA 8's that I was going to post on Ebay but thought I'd see if
there was something that anyone out there needs first.
All come with no qualifiers and can be yours for $10 per card delivered. Thanks for looking...Chris.

BarkusD

Chris,
I need cards 4 and 322. I can send you an immediate paypal payment or check (whichever you prefer). Send me an email to Barkusd@gtlaw.com and let me know.

David

ArnyVee

Chris, I need card #s.... 4, 36 & 322. If you only have one of each of the ones that David needed, then I'll take that #36 off of your hands. I can pay via PayPal as well.

crpalmi

Thanks...emails sent. So far just #36 and #322 are taken... anybody else interested? Thanks, Chris.

lostdart58

Congrats to Frank Bakka for having once again (and forever) the best set of our 72 Topps set....................you be the man!!!!

I think I speak for all in saying that we are humbled by the set you have put together...........

lostdart58

It was time to elevate our beloved thread from page 3!!.....


I have spent entirely way too much money over the last weeks buying mostly up grades in PSA 9..........................yes I did say back in September that i would be curtailing my spending....................but I have had a few windfalls over the last few months that allows for this spending,,,,,,,and has kept the wife off my back....

ArnyVee

I haven't been able to consistently get online, let alone post here on the boards. Thanks for bringing out little thread from the depths of page 3 Jami!

I'm sitting at 86 left to complete the set (one I get a couple that are in the mail) and I snuck back to #12 (shhh...don't let Larry find out ) with approx 89.5% completion on the set.

BarkusD
