Hi Guys, How's it going in 1972 land? I have spent 100s of hours doing research on pre-war cards and sets. I was trying to find a set that I would like to work on and have fun with. I found many great sets but none that I felt would make me happy to work on and build. Therefore, I decided to start building my favorite team sets (in PSA 8) from the first years of my collecting life. My youth was when the cards gave me the most happiness and joy. That would be the 1973-74 Topps Knicks, 1971-72 Topps Rangers and Bruins, 1971 Topps Colts and Cowboys and lastly, the 1972 Topps Mets and Yankees. My Rangers and Cowboys team sets are complete. The Knicks team set is half done. I have yet to start the Colts or Bruins but I've started looking. I'd also like to start getting in well centered, PSA 8 1972 Topps Mets and Yankees cards too. I was hoping that some of you guys might have extras that are for sale. I'd love to get in some lots of inexpensive cards first just to get the ball rolling and also try not to let the shipping costs get out of hand. I am one of the original 1972 Topps "fab five" members (the first person with a set listed on the registry) but I haven't collected 1972 Topps cards in years. Besides cards, I could use some advise on the best way to go about getting these cards and which ones will give me trouble finding them. Any comments are welcome. Feel free to PM me or email me at nbdowney@msn.com - Thanks for your time, Neil
Hi Greg... just checked my raw 72's and although I do have a Buckner, it almost certainly would not grade an 8. It's slightly miscut and OC and has a part of a rough edge. Not gradeable in my mind
Let me know if there are any more you're looking for. I'm getting ready to send a bunch of 72's that I'm hoping for 8's on. I'm mainly shooting for low pop cards, but if you have a few you're looking for, ket me know and I can send them in if they're in good enough condition.

Ney Neil, I may be able to help out with some 72 T Yanks and Mets. Are you looking to buy only PSA-8 or some raw as well? Off the top of my head, I know that Murcer & Murcer IA are maybe not so tough, but pretty expensive. Both went in the $80 range on ebay recently in PSA-8 (the IA was mine). The other one I know of is #533 Ralph Houk. Only 25 8's, five 9's and zero 10's makes it one of the toughest finds in the set. I have one but unfortunately it's way too OC to consider getting it graded. Anyway, I will PM you later with the decent Mets/yanks I have.

Collecting vintage auto'd fb cards and Dan Marino cards!!
I think that I would like to keep control of this 1972 Topps Mets and Yankees team sets project if I can. If I remember correctly, the full Mets team set is 47 cards along with 4 cards that have a Met player showing. The Yankees team set is another 35 cards plus 1 showing on another card. Wow! That's 87 cards total. Just over 11% of the set with only two teams. I forgot what a monster set this is. I was thinking that I could do this project for about $500 or so. I'm not so sure now. Just before I sold my complete set (8.03 GPA), PSA 8 commons were starting to fall. By the time I was done, PSA 9s were going well but PSA 8 commons were tanking and only selling for $3-$5 each (if you could even get that). Are PSA 8 common prices still as weak as before or did someone throw away about a million of them in an effort to boast prices? Neil
Well, some '72 PSA-8 commons are easily attainable at $3-5. I've seen several go for that over the past few week (the last one being Dierker sold by 4SC). But those are all mid-to-high pop cards. I've been analyzing the price and availability of low-pop commons over the past few weeks and this is what I've found...
Many are not even available as PSA graded (or graded by anyone). If you do find them, they are raw and typically in horrible condition (although some actually say NM but are not even close to it). I searched about 20-25 of them last week alone and found only 1 decent PSA available. Based on this, I can only assume that when a PSA does pop up on ebay, it will go for at least SMR value if not a 2 to 5x premium or more. Of course the other factor is how many registry collecters are going after that particular card.
Now that I think about it, the Foli IA I just sold was also a met, so if recent prices hold, you'd be looking at close to $300 just for the Murcer, Murcer IA and Foli IA in PSA-8. Add to that the Houke and your likely almost up against your $500 limit already.
Granted, I'm still learning about all this stuff but these are my somewhat educated opinions. Most of my learning is thanks to the very helpful members of this forum.

<< <i>...if recent prices hold, you'd be looking at close to $300 just for the Murcer, Murcer IA and Foli IA in PSA-8. Add to that the Houke and your likely almost up against your $500 limit already. >>
I agree completely. Good luck Neil, but I think you're looking at closer to $1000 to complete those two team sets. Don't forget the once-tough Dave Marshall and Rob Gardner and the two Thurman Munsons and Tom Seavers.
As a side note, Neil's the main reason my set's at 100%. A big deal a few years back added almost 200 PSA 8's to my set (and a big pile of cash to Neil's bank account) at a time when I wasn't really making much progress otherwise. Thanks again, Neil!
Even when I was active, the in action cards were really tough. I was thinking that perhaps I'll start with just the player cards without all of the in action, leaders and BHP cards. I started to gather up really nice raw cards from both teams a few years ago. They wouldn't grade out as 8s (perhaps 7s) so it didn't seem reasonable to even get them graded. Maybe I'll dust off the raw collection and try to work on that instead. The thing is though, the cards just look so nice in the PSA holders. I believe that I will start to bottom feed when I can and see where it takes me. Over time, I could put together a nice pile of PSA 8 cards without it hurting my wallet too much. Great to hear from you Joe. I hope that you are still enjoying your set as much as you did back then. Neil
All- I actually posted this on the buying board and I appologize if this isn't the proper theard for this. Looking to buy any raw commons that you might have that didn't quite make the grade to submit to PSA? The 1971 and 1972 sets intrigue me so Im looking to to put a raw set together. Looking for condition that would have probably yield a "5" or "6" in ex condition. Please email me @ rich at oldsargessports dot com with what you have and what you are looking for as far as price goes.
I just got a nice batch of 1972 topps back from psa. I have a lot of 60 different psa 8s. All clean 8s that I was hoping would get psa 9s. The notable players are NL Leaders with Torre, Garr, AL Leaders with Mercer, Rettenmund, Joe Torre # 500. The rest are commons.
If anyone wants to get a nice chunk of the set done in high end psa 8, I would sell this batch for $375 delivered. OR, i would trade for one or two psa 7 or 8 vintage stars that are worth around the same value.
Hmmm... based on that, I'd say the Expos team card I just sent into PSA hoping for an 8 should fetch a pretty penny If a mis-cut piece of crap like that goes for $2,049, then mine should be worth well over $10,000... right? I'll start taking private bids from interested parties, lol!
Seriously though, I wonder if this could be a typo? If you look at this guys ended & current auctions, most of his older non-graded stuff is going for a only few bucks. I bet he ment to put this up for 2.49 and accidently typed a "0" instead of a "."

Yeah... it's got about 67/33 centering, no marks or printing defects, and only 1 slightly frayed corner. Fits exactly in PSA's description of an 8... so I'll probably end up with a 7 on it, lol (or more aptly... cry out loud

Hi everyone. Its been a while since I posted here, but I've been watching everyones progress. Congrats to Arny,Jami, and Joe on reaching 100%. Well, its vacation time and its pretty expensive to fly a family of five, so I'm going to pull about a dozen or so cards out of my set and sell them on ebay to help finance our trip. The cards I chose are for the most part easy to replace or in the case of the low pops, I have raw ones worthy of 8s. I was checking past auctions to get an idea of what I can expect to get but I keep gettin an error page. I dont know if my computer is haywire or ebay is having technical difficulties. Hopefully someone here can help me out. I think Jami at one time kept a record of ebay sales back further than you can search on their site. The cards I'm having trouble with are 292-McRae IA, 296-Dietz IA, 443-Henderson, 445-Seaver, 533-Houk, 655-Grote, and 673-Marshall. All are PSA 8. The McRae IA is super high end with perfect centering both ways. I have 9s that look worse. Anyway, if someone can give me an idea of the going rate for these it would be much appreciated. If anyones interested, I will be listing these either today or tomorrow. My user id is jason045.
I'm about 95% complete and need most of those cards so I will be bidding! I did pick up this pesky #94 in a psa 8. Just got it out of an ebay store for $15! I belive it's the only deal I've got latley. Item #150136172713 Dwayne
I know this isn't one of the lowest pop cards out there for '72, but I do have a nice PSA-8 Reuss #775 up on ebay if any of you are interested. It ends in 2 days.

I've got an extra PSA 8 NQ Green Letter Variation Glenn Beckert that I'd like to trade for a PSA 8 NQ Green Letter Variation Juan Pizarro. Let me know if anybody's interested... I'll need a scan to make sure the Pizarro is really a Green Letter version and not a mislabeled Yellow letter one.
Man Jason, that's an impressive list of tough cards! That McRae IA is one of the nicest I've seen... wouldn't be surprised to see that thing bust the $200 barrier! Good luck on the rest of them (although I doubt you'll need it

Thanks. The McRae is really nice. I was disappointed it came back an 8. Measured with a dial caliper the difference in the borders is less than .010". Virtually perfect centering and razor sharp. I thought about resubmitting it to try for a 9, but I'm leaving Aug 1 and need the dough pretty quick. Realistically if you submitted this card 10 times it would probably come back an 8 five time and a 9 five times based on my experience submitting '72s. Since I started collecting this set I've done really well submitting the "tough" cards. I've pulled at least 1 and in some cases, multiple 8s on all the traditionally tough cards except the Kendall. That card has been a real bear for me. The closest I've come was a 9oc when I forgot to specify no qualifiers. On resubmission it got a 7. The centering was 50/50 L/R and 37/63 T/B which falls within the parameters for an 8. Just goes to show you it all depends on the grader you get.
I've got a 9OC in my set and I've been looking for raw ones capable of hitting an 8 at least and no dice. The closest I got was one raw card that looked very good, but I got sniped for it and it ended in the $50-60 range. It might've had an outside shot at a 9 which is why it went so high.
What has a PSA 9 Kendall gone for? Does anyone remember?

The PSA 8 on Ebay is now pushing $200. I wonder what this 9 would sell for if I relisted it? I would trade down for a PSA 8 of the same card if a few others I need are included. I also thought about relisting it and using the buy It now on about 5 cards I need in Bill Novicks store. My registered set is listed as Dwaynes 1972 topps Set (currently #10) if anyone wants to see what I need to make an offer. I also want to upgrade the #178 Schaal IA (the only 6 I have in the set) & any 7's or qualified cards. Dwayne
Hey Howell/Squirrel... that's gotta be one of the best deals/goofs I've heard of on ebay... congrats! Just think, you got that PSA-9 Foli IA .50 cents cheaper than the Garrido PSA-8 you won from me a while back! Pretty amazing! I'm a bit miffed that the PSA-8 Foli from 4SC went for $199.99 just 5 weeks after I sold mine for "only" $135 (and that was the first 8 on ebay in 6 months!). Oh well, that's the way it rolls sometimes... Anyway, I would think that PSA-9 could bring in $500-$600+ since there are no 10's out there.
On another note... my 135 June special sub popped 2 days ago... had about 45 72's in there. Unfortunately, the results were not that grand. Only got a handful of 8's, mostly 7's and even a few 6's (not sure how that happened).
Anyway, the big card... Expos Team... came back a 7. Was really hoping for an 8 on that as I beleive that would have brought in ~$300 or so. There's no price data from VCP for any grade on the Expos card, which most likely means that there have been no graded ones on ebay for almost 1 year. So hopefully I can still get decent $$$ for it even in a 7.

<< <i>...if recent prices hold, you'd be looking at close to $300 just for the Murcer, Murcer IA and Foli IA in PSA-8. Add to that the Houke and your likely almost up against your $500 limit already. >>
I agree completely. Good luck Neil, but I think you're looking at closer to $1000 to complete those two team sets. Don't forget the once-tough Dave Marshall and Rob Gardner and the two Thurman Munsons and Tom Seavers.
As a side note, Neil's the main reason my set's at 100%. A big deal a few years back added almost 200 PSA 8's to my set (and a big pile of cash to Neil's bank account) at a time when I wasn't really making much progress otherwise. Thanks again, Neil!
Thanks again,
Rich

I promised myself I wouldn't pay a penny over $2,025 for this card. Sooooo close!
Seriously though, I wonder if this could be a typo? If you look at this guys ended & current auctions, most of his older non-graded stuff is going for a only few bucks. I bet he ment to put this up for 2.49 and accidently typed a "0" instead of a "."

Since Sportspig lives in Morris Plains, NJ - I should contact him and drive the 20 minutes with my 10x loupe. I can check the card over and see if he'd be willing to accept $1800 cash... I wouldn't wanna chance having that baby get lost in the mail! Maybe he won't even realize that he has the SUPER RARE off-center diamondcut version!!!!!

<< <i>Good luck on getting a Expos team card graded in PSA 8 or better.............there has only been three newly graded in the last two years!! ( 2 8's and one 9) >>
Yeah... it's got about 67/33 centering, no marks or printing defects, and only 1 slightly frayed corner. Fits exactly in PSA's description of an 8... so I'll probably end up with a 7 on it, lol (or more aptly... cry out loud

I've got a 9OC in my set and I've been looking for raw ones capable of hitting an 8 at least and no dice. The closest I got was one raw card that looked very good, but I got sniped for it and it ended in the $50-60 range. It might've had an outside shot at a 9 which is why it went so high.
What has a PSA 9 Kendall gone for? Does anyone remember?

<< <i>What has a PSA 9 Kendall gone for? Does anyone remember? >>
The only PSA 9 Kendall, I recall, being sold on ebay was FB's.......it went, I believe, in the $350 neighborhood.
There has not been a newly graded PSA 9 since before August '04 !!

On another note... my 135 June special sub popped 2 days ago... had about 45 72's in there. Unfortunately, the results were not that grand. Only got a handful of 8's, mostly 7's and even a few 6's (not sure how that happened).
Anyway, the big card... Expos Team... came back a 7. Was really hoping for an 8 on that as I beleive that would have brought in ~$300 or so. There's no price data from VCP for any grade on the Expos card, which most likely means that there have been no graded ones on ebay for almost 1 year. So hopefully I can still get decent $$$ for it even in a 7.

<< <i>Just got a few '72s back from PSA. I got butchered on a few of 'em. I assumed the lowest grade I would receive was a 7. I Got 4 6's this time! I can't win with the #532 Fred Kendall! It looked like an 8 under magnification to me. Oh well maybe next time.

OUCH is right, Better luck next time, you have my condolences.
