    Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972

  • Pardon me for not being specific. I have an 8 and wanted to upgrade it. I thought the card I submitted was a lock for a 9 but it came back last week an 8. More disappointments than pleasant surprises as usual.
    There are two types of people in this world; those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't. My ex-wife loves him!!

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

    >>

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



    I was just happy to find one that wasn't completely OC. I'll post a better scan when I get the card. I'll be happy with a 7, I haven't seen one in a long time.

    Thanks for the link jmoran....I've outbid our friend Bill for a moment. I fully expect him to push the price out of 'reasonable' range, so you should have a nice hammer on that one at least.

    I finally won a Mickey Stanley PSA 8 (Thanks Dave)! Sheesh....I'm glad that I can cross that sucker off of my list. There's another one that was just listed yesterday, I believe. So, someone should be able to get a nice price for that one! image

    Here's my updated want/need list.....

    #40 - Bob Barton IA
    #150 - Norm Cash (Have a PSA 7)
    #228 - WS Game 6 (Have a PSA 7)
    #230 - World Series (Have a PSA 7)
    #292 - Hal McRae IA
    #296 - Dick Dietz IA
    #377 - Terry Harmon
    #532 - Fred Kendall (Have a PSA 9oc)
    #533 - Ralph Houk
    #582 - Montreal Expos Team Card (Have a PSA 7)
    #666 - Hector Torres (Have a PSA 7)
    #670 - Ken Holtzman (Have a PSA 7)
    #708 - Tim Foli IA
    #720 - Sam McDowell
    #723 - Al Santorini
    #734 - Bob Burda
    #787 - Ron Reed

    .....so, if anyone has any to help me...send me a PM or post here! image

    Soooooooo many cards have been going unreasonable prices . I stayed away from some of them because I simply refused to pay more for 8's than I had previously paid for 9's or pay more for 8's than what 9's sold for.

    I thought the Aaron IA went for a good price considering, that with a card like that the appeal is greater for a larger group. I got a Dunning for waay less than I expected but paid 2x what I hoped for a Harrelson BH.

    Having said all that, the current market is very tough to predict.

  • lostdart58lostdart58 Posts: 2,938 ✭✭✭
    The last few Aaron IA , over the last 6 months, have gone for $190- $225. .......although BNovick caught us napping about a month ago and got one for about $155.

    I am glad I finally got one, although this was at the high end of my price range and was won with only $.50 to spare.

    OH well......................6 cards to go........

    This would explain why he bid just under 150 for this one?

    50 cents !!! AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHH ! Normally I wouldn't bid against a guy so close to the finish line, but I thought I may be able to "steal" the Aaron.

    The Kranepool IA is somewhat of an enigma, it has always been a tough 9 but I can't recall 8's being that tough.

    Grades are finally done for the cards I sent in because of this thread. I knew the Henderson was borderline 7/8, thought I might get lucky

    1 063xxx 1972 TOPPS 322 JOSE PENA N/A 8
    2 063xxx 1972 TOPPS 385 MICKEY STANLEY N/A 8
    3 063xxx 1972 TOPPS 443 KEN HENDERSON N/A 7

  • Just got a PSA 9 #635 in the mail from 4SC today. I'll post a scan later tonight, but I can see rounding on two corners without any magnification. Anyone who thinks PSA grades the same for everyone is dead wrong.

    Someone for God's sake please come up w #93, #292, or #673 in PSA 9 or better...submit away folks, I am desperate at this point, want to finish this set off...going back to focusing on collecting RCs in 9, just bought a 49 Bowman Paige in a 9 which Ive been looking for in awhile. I might be tempted to try either the 71 or 75 set at some point, but need a breather.

    EO.............Just got my grades back from Psa on the June $5.00 / card special , and sadly , the '72 card #93 came back a Psa 8 !!!! Thought it had a chance for a 9 , but if I remember correctly , one side of the card had a rough cut , but was perfectly centered with nice gloss and sharp corners ! Must have penalized me for that , along with the rest of my submission ! Really harsh on the '71 Topps baseball - Two 8's and eight 7's ............Hope someone comes up with the cards you need in 9 soon ! Good Luck ! Robbie

    I am done to needing 5 cards now ( plus one upgrade) as I picked up a Ray Newman card last night:

    # 182 Ed Kranepool IA
    # 230 World Series
    # 296 Dick Dietz IA
    # 312 Clay Carroll IA
    # 518 Wayne Garrett
    # 582 Expos Team


    Hey Joe Maggio,

    I saw in the "how old was the gum thread" that you said you had a piece of 72 gum in front of you. Does this mean you opened a pack of 72s??? ............and you did not let us know???? image

    If I ever open my two 72 packs ....y'all would be the first to know........good bad or indifferent..

    So 72 ers should I open my 4th series wax box?
  • lostdart58lostdart58 Posts: 2,938 ✭✭✭
    Gaspipe,

    How do you know it is fourth series?.................does this mean you get cards from the 1st thru the 4th series?....4th series goes to about #500 or so??


    In general, now is a good time to be selling 72 Topps in PSA 9 OR BETTER....plus any low pop PSA 8.....as the prices for these are through the roof.
    Prices for other PSA 8s including low profile HOFers are iffy. ( IMHO)

    It says 4th series on the box. Card #'s 395 to #525 I believe. Real nice crisp box. I may send it off to get graded.
  • The entire box or just the packs ?

    Like Jami said tough 8's and 9's seem to be hot. I've been picking off random 8's for a song and if Bill doesn't need them some of tough 8's are soft. 60 bucks for a Harmon in 8 , 80 bucks for a Houk , under 35 for a Dunning .
    Whoever said we wash away with the rain ?
  • gaspipe26gaspipe26 Posts: 1,614 ✭✭✭
    Both, box and packs I guess, Ive never had unopened graded before. I looked at one of the packs and it had a Boyhood card on the back, coundnt tell which one but a boyhood card.


  • << <i>Does this mean you opened a pack of 72s??? ............and you did not let us know???? image >>



    I did let everyone know. I bought it from Angelsshoppingaddiction on eBay and it was a searched/resealed pack. His feedback is taking a hit, but idiots still keep buying his searched packs. Another eBayer told me that the seller's name is Andrew Boyer and that he was formerly "boyerendeavors" on eBay.


  • << <i>So 72 ers should I open my 4th series wax box? >>



    Oh, no... you should sell them to us real cheap! Or at fair market value!image

    do there. Told me price break on shipping if I bought 10 or more cards, did'nt say how much of a price break.

    Well just for an update made the grade would not return my e-mail after i politely told him shipping was high. I went ahead and paid. Received cards Priorty mail $4.05 postage 23.95 handing poorly packed . This is Just FYI. Have decided no positive or negitive feedback, maybe nuetral. Oh well just figured I'd give everybody an update.

    I hope you do leave this guy nuetral ( or better yet negative) feedback. He needs a lesson in EBAY ethics. You did not get these commons cheap ( $9.99 each I do believe.).................so he didn't need to gouge you on S/H.....................by the way he isn't yet into giving feedback. He has only giving two feedbacks to date.

    Joe,
    I didnt open any packs but Im really tempted too. I knew I had this box , and after talking to you I went looking for 72's , didnt find any but the box.
  • I look at unopened packs like lottery tickets... and I am sucker for those. I'll open every pack I can get my hands on. Coming from Bob, I'd know they hadn't been opened before.

  • At the risk of a lengthy jail sentence, do I dare say I will stay away from the Henderson too ?

    I really wanted the one that was up for auction last week , somehow this one lacks the same appeal.....

  • The pen in "Face Off" will seem like a country club in comparison. I can't even imagine the corrupting influence this group would have on killers, rapists and the like. I shudder to think of the monsters created by blending the two elements. It may even be the end of western civilization as we know if let loose on society.

    I was checking out a on-line store that had some raw cards. This website claims these variations which I had never heard of before:

    Checklist card # 378

    Computer '*' (asterick) version
    Hand drawn '*' (asterick) version

    Rich McKinney #619

    Blue line in top border variation
    No blue line in top border variation

    Anyone hear of these variations?

    The website had both variations of both cards for sale.........My PSA 9 #378 card appears to have a computer astericks....so I ordered the "hand drawn" version.

    My PSA McKinney has the blue line......so i ordered the variation without the blue line.

    Check out your cards and let us know which variation you have> (if these variations actually exist)

  • My 378 has a computer "Asterisk" but it has 5 points (like a star). My 619 has the blue line.
  • Interesting variation , my graded 378 has hand drawn. I have to dig out a raw Mckinney and take a look.

  • The Mckinney would probably qualify as a print defect over a true variation and hardly in the same vein as a the print defect on a 58 Herrer or Herrera.

  • Yep. just like the white spot over the IB in Russ Gibson #643 , some have 'em some don't.

    I never thought of it before but there is no Master Set for the '72 's , the green under/over letters and the copyright on the checklists. I think I'll request it , I believe the variations are all weighed the same ?
