Yes indeed his auctions are gone....Im doing the legwork for him and am rather pissed 2 weeks of 12-16hr days wasted....They yanked the auctions due to volume and no tracking no's fast enough though all auctions ended sunday late and was going to spend today packing I only had 226 cards to go out of 1800 and didnt even send invoices because guys were still buying...So whoever pulled the trigger jumped the gun big time.....Case has been escalated and will have answers within 24 hrs...When we know more so will you on how were proceding....

Yes indeed it was crashed automated due to mass listing and total amount....12yr member 100 percent fb though 97 percent was buying.....Anyway everyone will be refunded in the am.....Yes brendan your correct the 21 day thing is the route they should have ran......Should have drawn a flag when we first started with 2700 auctions up....Not let half them end...
Rush no were going to hold off after every bid gets an email there were 20-40 thousand bids. Think were tarnished at this point...So maybe in the spring...
Hey guys, I'm trying to finish up a high grade raw set, so if you have any of the following card numbers in raw NM or better from your stash that you didn't deem worthy of grading, please let me know and I can take them off your hands for a little coin. Thanks.

Almost 3 years since the last POP check on these toughies. Barton IA seems to be standing the test of time with only four PSA 8s added and no PSA 9s added in the last 33 months.
Dietz IA is still at only 39 PSA 8s, but has added 5 more PSA 9s.
Thanks for the update. It's a shame this thread has lost it's mojo. It's also criminal that virtually no real auctions seem to be taking place with the 72's in PSA 9. I still think there is demand for this year in high grade.
No one has posted here in so long... Figured it was time.
My, how this set has changed. When I started tracking this set, big movers were bidding low pop (at the time) cards like Norm Cash up to $2000+. Now, collectors have realized that ultimately, there will be very few low pop cards in this set. Bad news for those who bought the low pop cards at higher prices, but good news for those who thought they might never be able to complete the set without shelling out $100-$200 apiece for the Pete Hamm and Lloyd Allen type cards. I would fall into that latter category. I would love to say that I was smart enough to avoid those cards at the time, but the truth is that I simply couldn't afford them.
The prices of the big money cards - Aaron, Ryan, Fisk, Rose, Clemente, etc. - have either stayed the same or risen; the Ryan and Fisk cards have roughly doubled in value since I've started this set. There was a recent rush on these stars on the market when PWCC unloaded multiple copies of each, but the flow has slowed considerably since.
Boring commons still go for about $8-$12 apiece; there's just a lot more of them than there used to be.
The low pop aspect of the set was fun - I'm a little sad to see that aspect go. Nonetheless, I think the disappearance of the low pop cards of nobodies makes the set more collectible overall for those of us who can't pour $1000+ per month into a set. I see no reason to buy any true common for more than $20 now, as if the card isn't at that price now, it will be soon enough. The real toughies like McRae IA, Blue IA, Schaal IA, Barton IA, Garrett, and Grote may be exceptions, but who knows.

Agree with everything you say. Unfortunately I have fallen prey to paying up for some of the formerly low pop commons (Joe Grzenda at $150 ouch!) but as you say, probably overall is good for the set as the higher pop numbers will get more people interested.
There definitely is a large barbell in this set with the major stars really going up in value with the commons falling quickly. This is still my favorite set of all time and to me, nothing says the 1970s like the design of this monster set. Little factoid - I could be wrong, but I think this was the first Topps set where they actually airbrushed logos on caps of traded players rather than just blacking them out.
I thought it would be fun to follow up on the info above two and a half years later. #40 Barton in action seems to be holding as true tough common. #532 and #582 as well.
I love this set, but I'll never go the registry route. I have hundreds of commons I believe to be of 8.5-9 quality, but a.) I can't see paying the submission fees and b.) I've worked very hard to find raw commons I'm really happy with....if I submit them and get back any significant number of 7s while I sift through all the tilted, diamond cut 9s on eBay, I'll lose my mind completely.
I'll keep searching for nice commons, and pick up reasonably priced 9s when I can. My goal is to have a beautiful combo raw/graded set, with nice graded stars.
<< <i> Little factoid - I could be wrong, but I think this was the first Topps set where they actually airbrushed logos on caps of traded players rather than just blacking them out. >>
There may be a few in the 1969 base set, but definitely a couple in the deckle edge insert, such as Aparicio (Oriole uniform, Sox cap) and Harrelson (A's uniform, Red Sox cap - I can't understand why they couldn't get a photo of him in a Red Sox uniform, he arrived there at the end of the 67 season. Hatless wonder in 68 and 69 sets, including league leaders.)

Well folks, I know my true focus at the moment is on 1971, I thought it being a Black Friday sale it wouldn't have hurt for me to also get started on 1972 Topps PSA 7s and I picked these:

478 Checklist 5
I think I'm off to good start on 1972's as well as 1971's (see my other topic), no? For both years I have a "top 50" list that includes all the regular (not subset) HOFers that I want to get PSA 7's for as well as the checklist cards in PSA 7. This (along with later hopefully getting the rest of the set in raw NRMT or better so I can look through that part in a binder) is my biggest project yet (I'm still doing mid 90s insert sets too BTW) and I sure hope I can someday finish it along with 1970 (but I'll save that for when I'm almost done with 1971/1972). Won't that be so, so cool dudish to own (among the rest of my collection) a complete run of Topps baseball sets from 1971 (or 1970) to present? Maybe like Kennedy once said I should see if I can achieve that goal before this decade is out It also just so happens I'll turn 40 (gasp!) in the year 2020 (March 22).
Well, after saying I would never pursue this set on the registry, I've gone back on that completely! This set has become very appealing now that so many of the crazy prices being paid for low pop commons have cooled off. Looking through VCP, it's amazing to see how these commons peaked around 2011/2012 and have plummeted since, some by 80% or more. Cards like Del Unser still show up on eBay with $300+ asking prices, but those days are long gone.
Anyway, I've picked up a bunch of nice relatively tough commons lately.
I've never understood the practice of shooting the face from below which was so common is this era. The only thing I can think is that it was done so the cap logo was not visible, to minimize the necessity of corrections after trades.

That makes sense, but leaves the set with some undesirable photography. Now all I see is them looking up to check which team they're pictured with.
You also have the cards with the player not wearing a hat. Some ugly cases of "hathead" on display.

Maybe they had gotten too many complaints during the capless wonder years and figured, "Well, at least they have caps on."

Anyway, I've picked up a bunch of nice relatively tough commons lately.
I'm headed to check out your 72 registry now!
I've only gotten through scanning the first series cards, but I bet your favorite from that group is...
I've never understood the practice of shooting the face from below which was so common is this era. The only thing I can think is that it was done so the cap logo was not visible, to minimize the necessity of corrections after trades.
That makes sense, but leaves the set with some undesirable photography. Now all I see is them looking up to check which team they're pictured with.
