Looks like UncleRobby's got more money than Bill!

Pittfan · September 27, 2006 2:12AM

If you have any high grade 72's now is the time to sell!!! I hated to part with my pirates but at these prices it was tough not to. Good luck to all and thanks for bidding if you did so.

Have a '72 Cepeda PSA 9 and a few other tough 60's commons hitting ebay later tonight. Any board members who win my cards get free insured shipping. Ebay ID: jason045

lostdart58 · September 30, 2006 2:37AM

My days of trying to upgrade my set are over for the time being...................The current PSA 9 prices are not worth paying for now...........

My EBAY searches are limited to the three cards that i still need for my set:

#518 Wayne Garrett
#582 Expos Team card
and a third card of which I will remain mum on for now.............

I do have a bunch of gradable cards which will be submitted during the next special including two Garrett cards.........one of which shopuld grade out.

ArnyVee · September 30, 2006 2:54AM

Wow Jami, you are nearly there!

What a day that will be!

Morgoth · September 30, 2006 5:13AM

Anyone who has a PSA 8 Dave Cash, Jose Pagan IA, World Series Cards 6,7 and Winners Celebrate let me know as I am trying to complete my Pirates Team Set.

lostdart58 · October 2, 2006 11:49AM

Glad i do not need this card........Foli IA

Good luck to those that do....

joemaggio · October 2, 2006 12:43PM

I need it, but that's an ugly one. I won't feel bad when I get gang-sniped by 6 or 7 guys on this one.

diamondman · October 3, 2006 6:38AM

<< I need it, but that's an ugly one. I won't feel bad when I get gang-sniped by 6 or 7 guys on this one. >>

I think it's the scan that makes it look ugly and of course the price SMR is 15.00 and it will go for 217.66 or somewhere around that!

ArnyVee · October 4, 2006 1:46AM

Just in case anyone has any lying around in PSA 8 or better..here's my want/need list....

#40 - Bob Barton IA (Have a PSA 7)
#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

#532 - Fred Kendall (Have a PSA 9oc)
#582 - Montreal Expos Team Card (Have a PSA 7)
#708 - Tim Foli IA
#720 - Sam McDowell
#723 - Al Santorini
#734 - Bob Burda

....so, just 6 needed outright to complete the set and an additional 6 that I need an upgrade on! Someone help me, please!

lostdart58 · October 4, 2006 4:05AM

My Dietz IA PSA 8 arrived in the mail today............I officially no longer need the card for my set..

lostdart58 · October 4, 2006 4:06AM

.......the first newly graded Dietz IA PSA 8 or better in 18 months.....

jayhawke · October 4, 2006 7:28AM

<< My Dietz IA PSA 8 arrived in the mail today............I officially no longer need the card for my set.. >>

Can you post a scan of the card?

joemaggio · October 4, 2006 9:30AM

I picked up a Cardenal Traded last night! 786 down... 1 to go!!

lostdart58 · October 4, 2006 10:39AM

Way to go Joe.....................

I see there has been a newly graded Kendall card graded PSA 8.

ArnyVee · October 5, 2006 1:12AM

Jami, post that Dietz! Congrats!

And congrats to Joe....ever so close!

lostdart58 · October 5, 2006 10:50AM

I never signed up for one of those photo hosting websites......and never figured out how to post pictures here otherwise.....but will email anyone who really wants a scan...

ArnyVee · October 6, 2006 1:03AM

Jami, send me the pic via e-mail and I'll post it here. SCMAuctions@aol.com

ArnyVee · October 6, 2006 11:17PM

Here is Jami's Dietz!

ArnyVee · October 10, 2006 12:55AM

Well, the Santorini PSA 8 went for $128....wow, amazing. Nice prices on the low pops for the past month or so...if you're a seller. Bill adds another.

Bkritz · October 10, 2006 7:55AM

I have a psa 9 72 Topps Cleon Jones IA if anyone needs one. I just sold one for $213 on ebay.$205 delivered if anyone wants it.

diamondman · October 14, 2006 2:38AM

What are the 5 toughest cards in PSA 8 or better in 1972 SET? in your opinion? Here are the 5 I think are the toughest

708 - Tim Foli IA
757 - Jose Cardenel Traded
723 - Al Santorini
230 - World Series Champions
300 - Hank Aaron IA

What are your 5 Unicorns of this set???

>>

You have to add the McRae IA, Dietz IA, Barton IA , Harmon, Expos team to your list with the toughest of all being the Fred Kendell

With three cards left to finish my set, my Holy Grail card will end up being the Expos Team card.

ArnyVee · October 14, 2006 4:48AM

I'd have to say that the following are my top 5 toughest....

Montreal Expos Team Card
Hal McRae IA
Tim Foli IA
Aaron IA
Fred Kendall

lostdart58 · October 14, 2006 4:57AM

There are plenty of Aaron IA cards out there, although the population reports may be skewed with resubmissions trying to get aPSA 9..........The problem is always being able to put the hammer down on a card which will cost you close to $200.

I know mine cost me $203 and if, I remember correctly, Arny paid about $194 for his........

ArnyVee · October 14, 2006 5:02AM

Yup, we were both in the same price range for that card. But, the problem with getting ahold of the Aaron is the fact that there are so many Aaron collectors, Braves collectors, etc which means more competition. But, I haven't seen one for sale in quite some time.

joemaggio · October 14, 2006 6:39AM

I think the toughest are:

1) Fred Kendall
2) Expos Team Card
3) Ralph Houk
4) Hal McRae IA
5) Al Santorini

There are enough Foli IA and Aaron IA out there, there's just more people after them. Of course, these are 6 of the 7 I still need for my set.

gaspipe26 · October 14, 2006 1:22PM

Vida Blue IA would be tough if I didnt have a stack of them. I think I've submitted 90% of the 8's and 9's.

jason045 · October 14, 2006 1:55PM

I have to agree with the Kendall being the toughest, but I also have to add the Wills IA, Reds Rookies, and the Garrett.

RobMM77 · October 14, 2006 2:09PM

Just a little question. Were the In Actions more scarce? Seems like they are a little harder to get. Thanks....Rob

lostdart58 · October 14, 2006 7:24PM

page turn..

lostdart58 · October 14, 2006 7:26PM

The Blue IA card population certainly has come up.......................as with the Gardner card....

lostdart58 · October 14, 2006 7:28PM

<< Just a little question. Were the In Actions more scarce? Seems like they are a little harder to get. Thanks....Rob >>

The answer is no...................a number of them just always seem to be OC.

FB · October 15, 2006 12:51AM

Guys,

I believe that there was a thread a few years back that talked about a number of the In Action cards being at the outer most edge of the sheet before cutting. Back in 72, there were no laser cutters. Just a guy setting the blades to the desired height and width and cutting multiple sheets at a time. If the width settings were off by 1/64th of an inch, the cards would bet more OC as you went from one side of the sheet to the other. Whether this is true or not - I don't know - but it seems plausible.

Does anyone have 72 sheets that they can check the position on some of these cards?

Frank

jmoran19 · October 15, 2006 1:19AM

I have photo copies of the 1972 uncut sheets.

The IA cards are always in the bottom right hand corner of a true uncut sheet (264 cards). Here is a link to a series 1 264 card sheet with each card printed twice is 3 row increments. All the other 72 sheets followed the same format. For the OPC sheets I have photos of, they didn't double print the cards but they would combine series. Let me know if you want photos of any of the sheets, John.

John,

Wow....that is great stuff.......since you have asked, I think it is safe to say that members of this group would like to see pictures of ALL the series'.......

Jami

ArnyVee · October 15, 2006 4:15AM

Yes...I second that motion

jmoran19 · October 15, 2006 6:13AM

Ok, here's a few more. I'm missing 1/2 of the 3rd series but I'll post what I've got.

Please note, for the series 2, 4 - 6 sheets I combined the 2 different 132 card sheets and I might add, not very well either

72series6

72series5

jmoran19 · October 15, 2006 6:24AM

72series4

ArnyVee · October 15, 2006 8:33AM

Is the Cardenal Traded double printed? On that link for 72series6, it's on the same sheet twice.

lostdart58 · October 15, 2006 8:53AM

Every card is on the same sheet twice....

lostdart58 · October 15, 2006 9:19AM

It appears many of the "tough" cards are on the top or bottom of the sheet.......

ArnyVee · October 15, 2006 9:39AM

I see the Foli IA at the bottom right hand corner. No wonder.

joemaggio · October 15, 2006 11:56AM

Anybody else have their posts disappear after they hit the "Reply to Thread" button?

lostdart58 · October 15, 2006 8:35PM

<< Anybody else have their posts disappear after they hit the "Reply to Thread" button? >>

If your post is going to be the first post of a new page within a thread, it seems to disappear until the second post of a second page is recorded.

joemaggio · October 21, 2006 8:16AM

Do you think eBay's counters are screwed up? I have a handful of '72 PSA 8's/9's ending tomorrow with 2-5 hits in six days - one or two of those hits are probably me. I've also got a 1955 PSA 6 common with almost 600 hits (but no bids).

joemaggio · October 21, 2006 11:01AM

I paid way too much and it's got a slight tilt to it, but I picked up a PSA 8 NQ Kendall! I'm down to needing the same six that everybody ends up needing:

150 Cash
292 McRae IA
300 Aaron IA
582 Expos Team
708 Foli IA
723 Santorini

I'm looking for all in PSA 8, but I'll take a Foli IA in PSA 7!

ArnyVee · October 21, 2006 8:32PM

Way to go Joe!

Good luck with the others.

gaspipe26 · October 21, 2006 11:18PM

Joe,
Im sending in a few 125 Cash on my next submission. I'll email you when they get back.

Bob

joemaggio · October 22, 2006 12:06AM

Ooops... I need 150, not 125.
