Just FYI for any sellers , this is one buyer you might want to put on your blocked bidders list " bowenstatuesusa " he has been on ebay since
10-05-06 and seems to be bidding on about 30 to 40 items a day and then only pays for the ones he decides he really wants.

Have filed a NPB claim against him, will wait and see what happens!

joemaggio · October 23, 2006 7:55AM

My 1955 PSA 6 common ending with 880 hits and 2 bids. The # of bids is what I expected, but 100+ hits a day is ridiculous... something's up.

My last two posts on this thread have disappeared (they're not page-turners).

Thanks for the tip. He's blocked!

I collect Bowen Designs' Statues (Marvel Comics Busts)... they're really cool. I've got a complete set of Marvel Mini Busts (around 150). They sure take up a lot of room. www.bowendesigns.com.

I have been off-line for most of the last week..........

Hey Joe,

Considering how few of the Kendall cards are out there, the price you paid isn't so bad.......That''s the only new one graded in the last year or so........

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I want to congratulate Bill Novick, for once again finishing the set in all PSA 8 or better............I do not know where he found a Kendall and Expos team card, but he did and his set is now 100% complete.

By the way, I still need three cards to finish my set:

# 512 Wayne garrett
#582 Expos team card
and
# 224 World series Game two

I did have a #224 card, but traded it away to obtain the Dietz IA..

There are twice as many #224 cards out there in comparison to Dietz IA................

Hey 1972 Guys,

Any comments on these PSA 10's that ended today from 4 sharp corners:

1972 PSA 10's

Under $80 for a 34 year old PSA 10 seems like a good price, but I don't follow these often.

lostdart58 · October 26, 2006 12:11PM

All of those PSA 10s listed are high pop . ( 1 of 20 on the Peterson card) .

There has been a ton of PSA 10s for sale recently as the # 1 set on the registry has sold off his set one card at a time over the last 6 weeks. he alone has almost 300 PSA 10s to sell.

4 months ago you couldn't get a PSA 10 for under $100

FB · October 26, 2006 11:08PM

302 PSA 10's to be exact...

lostdart58 · October 27, 2006 1:33AM

Yup - it was good to be da king!

And what good is it being #1 if you can't showoff a little?!?!?!?!?

Frank

lostdart58 · October 28, 2006 11:26PM

Finally figured out how to post pictures here and on the set registry:

I will eventually scan the entire set in the registry that i have in PSA 9 or better and any low pop PSA 8s

ArnyVee · October 29, 2006 10:38PM

That's gonna take awhile with this monster of a set Jami, but it's going to be sweet!

lostdart58 · October 30, 2006 1:37AM

<< That's gonna take awhile with this monster of a set Jami, but it's going to be sweet!

One three hour sitting got me 20% done....

joemaggio · October 30, 2006 6:51AM

somebody posted pics of all the '71's, with variations that I have used for reference many times. It'll be cool to have it out there, especially the large/small prints and the yellow/green letters.

Picked up a PSA 8 NQ #150 today... only 5 more 8's to go!

ArnyVee · October 30, 2006 9:16AM

Woo hoo...way to go Joe!

I've got a total of four 8s to add to my set to get that much closer to finishing the set.

lostdart58 · October 30, 2006 11:47AM

I got it down now........multi-tasking....should be able to add 50 scans to the registry in less then an hour...........scan , add , delete , check email, post.......I am on a roll.......got 8 windows open at one time.......WOOHOO!!

cmoking · October 30, 2006 12:02PM

Recently I won a #22 Rob Gardner for only $33. I had been looking for a nice example of this card for a while, and I was happily surprised it came at this price. Did I get lucky or is #22 no longer a tough card?

There has been alot of recently graded examples lately.............still a good price!!

ArnyVee · October 31, 2006 1:08AM

That Gardner was going for like $50-70 consistently for awhile. That's a decent price, plus if you are happy with it, it doesn't matter the price, right?

joemaggio · October 31, 2006 7:01AM

I just gotta know what Arny had to say....

joemaggio · October 31, 2006 7:02AM

In case anybody wants to help me out... I still need 5 PSA 8 NQ's

McRae IA
Aaron IA
Expos Team
Foli IA
Santorini

I finally picked up a PSA 10 today. One's all I need.

ArnyVee · October 31, 2006 7:09AM

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

#150 - Norm Cash (Have a PSA 7)
#228 - WS Game 6 (Have a PSA 7)
#292 - Hal McRae IA
#296 - Dick Dietz IA
#532 - Fred Kendall (Have a PSA 9oc)
#582 - Montreal Expos Team Card (Have a PSA 7)
#708 - Tim Foli IA
#723 - Al Santorini

....so, just 4 needed outright to complete the set and an additional 4 that I need an upgrade on! Someone help me, please!

Thanks, I guess the price is coming down a bit with more subs. As for "if I'm happy, the price doesn't matter" - I don't think like that actually. For me, the price and the card go hand in hand. I want to be both happy with the card and the price. If I pay double the going-rate for a card, no matter how much I like it, I'm probably not happy with it (that's assuming it is fairly graded and not under-graded). The budget needs to be met!

I get the mind set and I generally go by the same set of rules. But, you have to realize that even within the same grades, "values" of the cards change. To pay double 'going rate' may absolutely apply based on that card being on the high end of that grade (possible resub for some) or not.

I generally don't overpay for cards, but I have done it in the past....just one of those things that happen when you "just have to have it!"

If you ever want going prices on 72 cards, feel free to PM me or post here............I got a good pulse on prices for all grades on the set.

lostdart58 · November 1, 2006 8:21AM

So you think you know your 72 set?

What brothers are in the set?

gaspipe26 · November 1, 2006 8:26AM

Gaylord and Jim, and Phil and Joe are 2. Is Tommie Aaron in there?

lostdart58 · November 1, 2006 8:30AM

<< Gaylord and Jim, and Phil and Joe are 2. Is Tommie Aaron in there? >>

Geez, those are the EASY ones...........No to Tommie Aaron...

GDM67 · November 1, 2006 11:24AM

Carlos and Lee May?

lostdart58 · November 1, 2006 11:34AM

<< Carlos and Lee May? >>

joemaggio · November 1, 2006 12:25PM

GDM67 · November 1, 2006 12:31PM

Forgetting the Alous should really earn me a Night In The Box

lostdart58 · November 1, 2006 12:51PM

<< Ed and Chuck. >>

Brinkman and Aspromontes are correct......

How about this:

Besides Hank Aaron already mentioned, what other members of the 72 set had brothers that played in the majors, but are not in this set??

I came up with FIVE off the top of my head.......but there are probably more........

GDM67 · November 1, 2006 6:47PM

Ken Brett, for one. Would Harry Walker count?

GDM67 · November 1, 2006 6:50PM

I need Adam Vinatieri's help...

lostdart58 · November 1, 2006 7:20PM

<< 

<< Ed and Chuck. >>
