Just wanted to hit 1000. Because of this my groceries should now be cheaper at Safeway.

lowstartmick · June 23, 2006 12:46AM

If anyone has any 72 PSA 8's that they are looking to move send me a PM. I am looking for bulk lots of at least 50 cards.

FB · June 23, 2006 2:53AM

Arny,

I too agree that the Reed has a decent shot at an 8. Its well worth submitting during the Registry $5 Special.

As far as the S&H sidebar from a few days back - I have my slabbed card S&H set up for $1.75 for the 1st card and $.40 for each additional. So, 11 cards would work out to $5.75 and I'd probably be able to slap a Delivery Confirmation on at no charge if insurance wasn't selected and still make a few cents over the cost of postage and supplies.

Got my cards from cmoking! Thanks!

lowstartmick · June 24, 2006 8:42AM

The Pena has excpeptional centering for that card .

I'm finishing up an offline deal that should catapult my set to a whopping 30 % once I add all the cards I received this week ......

I am buying psa 8's and 9's, I would prefer to buy in large lots but will consider smaller deals.

ArnyVee · June 24, 2006 9:49AM

LSMick,

30% of the set? Not too shabby considerin' this set has nearly 800 cards!

Congrats on that deal. By the way, take a peek at my eBay store as I have a few 9s. I'll make you a good deal if you'd like. I've got a couple more to add soon.

lowstartmick · June 24, 2006 10:32AM

Thanks Arny.
I'm not so concerned with the random 9's at this point. My plan is to be aggressive for the tough 8's , nice stars and only select 9's. In all other regards I don't plan to stray from a VERY conservative bid pattern.

I have a large submission of 72's on tap but I may thin it out a little, especially all the borderline psa 8 quality cards. It may be more cost effective to wait and pick up already slabbed copies on the cheap rather than take a chance on getting a bunch of 7's.

ArnyVee · June 24, 2006 11:01PM

I know what you mean LSMick. I've been very close to submitting many cards in the past, but shy away due to the fact that 7s or 8s of certain cards would not be cost effective.

jason045 · June 25, 2006 1:21AM

Hello to everyone. After about a year long hiatus from collecting, I'm going to start over on this monster. I know it will be a long road but I'm not stopping this time until I'm done. I see many of you have made great progress in the past year. Congrats to all. I have about $200 in paypal to spend. The only three cards I have left from my first attempt are #90,317,and 516 so I'm basically starting from scratch. Anybody got a nice lot of 8's and/or 9's they'll send my way for $200? Thanks--Jason

ArnyVee · June 25, 2006 1:51AM

Jason, anything you want from my eBay store and I'll give you free shipping AND 10% off as a kickoff to your quest for the '72s again!

We knew you'd be back!

jmoran19 · June 25, 2006 2:58AM

I sent in these 3 last week plus a few low pop. 1970 and 1972 football cards:

#322 - Jose Pena
#385 - Mickey Stanley
#443 - Ken Henderson

Will let ya know the results when they are posted. Stanley and Pena s/b sure 8's unless I missed something. The Henderson will be a nail biter.

ArnyVee · June 25, 2006 3:54AM

Those are three tough ones for sure. Good luck!

BarkusD · June 25, 2006 6:02AM

Here's a little low pop preview of my listings going up on ebay this evening for 7 day auctions:

All auctions will start with a $.99 opening bid. Good luck

lostdart58 · June 25, 2006 6:31AM

Dave,

Good luck on your auctions......Too bad you have nothing that I need!!!

Jami

ArnyVee · June 25, 2006 6:59AM

I've got a couple in my sight....but, I'm sure that they'll be bid out of my price range.

BarkusD · June 25, 2006 8:07AM

Jami,
I just listed a few examples. With my $.99 opening bids, I'm sure there a quite a few cards that will tempt you. How about a few HOF upgrades?

cmoking · June 25, 2006 9:05AM

geez, when did this become an advertising forum for Barkus' cards?

Just kidding Dave...good luck with your auctions.

jason045 · June 25, 2006 10:45AM

Thanks to Dave for hooking me up with a nice 30 card lot. Now I need to get on the ball and get a submission out before the end of the month. I have about two dozen super sharp '72 that have been collecting dust for quite a while including a Foli IA, Drabowsky, Barton IA, Johnson IA, Bench IA, and Gardner that should all be surefire 8s. Maybe a 9 on the Gardner and Drabowsky. I'll let you guys know how I come out.

lostdart58 · June 25, 2006 12:11PM

Jason,

Good to have you back in the fold.............

Jami

lostdart58 · June 25, 2006 12:32PM

I put in a bid on this 1972 Nolan Ryan PSA 9.............................

Now I have received a second chance offer to buy it...............I am skeptical as I didn't even have the second highest bid.

lostdart58 · June 25, 2006 6:35PM

...

lowstartmick · June 25, 2006 8:39PM

Offer him 330.00, since that's what you probably should have it for. Once you get the card report him as a suspected shiller. This way everyone wins.......

joemaggio · June 26, 2006 6:55AM

The high bidder has won quite a few items recently, including several from this seller. If he's not paying, why no negative feedback?

He won one from SpikeMax, who's on here a lot. I'd check with him.

ArnyVee · June 26, 2006 9:56AM

Wow, that T.Harmon PSA 9 that Scott is selling is already above $100! Looks like Larry will end up with that one.

David's Norm Cash is sitting at almost $80 already and the Grote is at $60. Sheesh...no breaks for the little guys.

Hopefully no one else needs that Stanley!

lowstartmick · June 26, 2006 10:08AM

I was kind of hoping the Harmon would go under the radar. 100 bucks for that card in PSA 9 is probably still a bargain but more than I'm willing to pay at this point.

lowstartmick · June 28, 2006 8:04AM

It's turning into a slugfest for some of the tough 8's on ebay this week.

lostdart58 · June 28, 2006 8:25AM

WOW.......the Cash and the Henderson!!! .....all i can say is HOLY SHIITE!!

lowstartmick · June 29, 2006 1:45AM

It certainly is good idea to nail down the tough ones when you can, especially with most everything else being relatively cheap.
What's interesting is that both the "combatants" already own one copy of the card (s).

lostdart58 · June 29, 2006 1:59AM

I think Bill Novick wants to prove he can put together two sets before some us can put together one set................................but my question would be to him ...."but at what cost????"

Horton has also started and listed a second set.

lowstartmick · June 30, 2006 5:34AM

<< ...............................but my question would be to him ...."but at what cost????"

>>

He just outbid me on a card that he was already winning for half the price......apparently he is willing to pay through the nose.

Treetop · June 30, 2006 5:50AM

The way Bill has been bidding lately, he must have sold off a ton of comics this month.

lowstartmick · June 30, 2006 7:46AM

78.00 #425 Ken Singleton in PSA 8 ?? There are 36 psa 8's and 13 psa 9's.

David Barkus must be smiling .

ArnyVee · June 30, 2006 7:53AM

My goodness....these prices are bordering on wacky. Very interesting bidding patterns. They seem to be consistently inconsistent.

lostdart58 · June 30, 2006 8:00AM

<< 78.00 #425 Ken Singleton in PSA 8 ?? There are 36 psa 8's and 13 psa 9's.

Who was the purchaser?

lowstartmick · June 30, 2006 8:24AM

The auction is still going but Bill is ahead.

BarkusD · June 30, 2006 8:48AM

That Singleton is much tougher than people realize. It folled me. It was one of the last cards I found for my set. The Virdon was super tough for me as well.

jason045 · July 1, 2006 10:32AM

Hey, guys. I just made a boo-boo on my submission and was wondering if anyone could help me. The special was for 1964 to present. But as I tried to fill the 25 card minimum, I threw in four pre-64 cards on accident. A '58, a couple of 60s, and a 61. All commons. Has anyone ever done this before and if so what did you have to do to fix it? Thanks for the help.

Jason

ArnyVee · July 1, 2006 9:48PM

Sorry Jason, can't help you with that one. Maybe someone else can later today.

As far as the '72s go....that Tim Foli IA PSA 8 is already sitting at $200!
I put in a bid of $100 and sat as the high bidder for a smidgen of a moment it seems. Geez, I spent less on my Aaron IA PSA 8.

lowstartmick · July 2, 2006 12:13AM

The Foli IA surprised me too ! Seems like a Met collector is driving that one, along with a couple of others.

Even if I get shut out on the tough ones this week history would dictate that more will come . Especially, since the crazy prices would be an incentive for more submissions.

It appears that in addition to some guys building 2nd sets, one of them is playing the ol' keep away game.

Cincykid8123 · July 2, 2006 12:52AM

Arny,

You wouldn't happen to have a 72 Dave Concepcion that want to part with would you?

ArnyVee · July 2, 2006 2:47AM

I don't have one right now, but I'm sure that one of the '72ers has an extra one. Check on Dave Barkus' site, he might have one available.

joemaggio · July 2, 2006 4:37AM

<< It appears that in addition to some guys building 2nd sets, one of them is playing the ol' keep away game. >>

Yep. The same one who used to complain to me that he always got outbid by David Barkus. Looks like he figured out a way to beat him.

diamondman · July 2, 2006 5:09AM

smallstocks · July 2, 2006 6:24AM

I sold my Tim Foli I/A PSA 9 last year for less than that. You guys are crazy!

Only one or two are crazy.......none that are posting here.

joemaggio · July 2, 2006 11:12AM

Think I've got a shot at an 8?

diamondman · July 2, 2006 11:25AM

<< Think I've got a shot at an 8?

compared to some 8's I've seen lately you might have a shot at a 9.

lostdart58 · July 2, 2006 11:34AM

>>

Yes....but there is something about the top left hand corner I do not like.
