I just added 130 cards ( all psa 9 ) to my 1975 Topps mini set! I moved up to set number 4. I could send in 400 raw cards i have in packs and push up to number 2 or so!
live each day like it's your last but don't count on it!
I have a quick question. I saw a BVG 9 (subgrades on back) 1972 Killebrew at a show, it didn't have the telltale sheet cut card subgrades. Centering looked nice to me, but was 8.5. Surface was 9.0 and the corners and edges were 9.5s.
What do you think fair price for this card would be and would it cross to a 9?

Would it meet PSA 9 standards as far as centering goes?
Got my grades back today. I cant get that Vida Blue IA in a 9. Another 8. Did get 2 10's. #621 Commissioners Award and #95 NL Strikeout Leaders which is a POP 1. A handful of 9's including a Mays and a bunch of 8's. Did screw a few up with a few 7's and 6's, which surprised me. I usually dont get 6's.
The new ones wont hit Ebay for a week or two. The 10's and 9's should this weekend. The 8's the week after. Email me in a day or two and I'll give you a list of what came in. I have about 200 more ready to go but there 8's. Some 9's and 7's but majority is 8. I have to see if its worth my while to send them.
UH -oh........seems Arny has been moved back a spot. Seems Larry Mayer has added a bunch of cards to his set. (bbcards4u) I think he has been waiting to add a bunch at the same time. Oh well..............

A bunch of those cards that Larry has added are at least a few months accumulation. Many of them are the cards he has outbid me for.
when the 72 toppsaholic set broke and they were listed on EBAY (under the seller GTTIX) it was almost to the point where i was winning everything i needed, virtually unchallenged, except for larry or glibersher.
another interesting thing about this upgrade is that there are a bunch of "updated" cards NOT "upgraded". in some cases that's a tell tale sign of cards being cracked out of existing holders and resubmitted in hopes of a higher grade ie., a 9 to 10. but when they come back with the same grade and entered to the set under a new cert# they will register as "updated". i don't know if that is the case for sure but i haven't seen Larry "upgrade" within grade too much.
For a long time Larry has been my main competition for 9's and when he outbids me i know i probably should have bid more, but the consolation has usually been that the next one goes to me for less money (or g.libersher)....but i will say that as of late his bids have been very aggressive across the board.
no matter how you slice it ,that's one heck of an addition, probably close to 10 k. if he continues at this pace for a while he could easily be the new # 2.
I've really concentrated on picking up lots of cards at lower price per cards and just did good 'ol fashioned searches everywhere to pick up cards from all avenues possible. I have max bids in my head that I want to pay based on the averages that cards are going for out there and try to not bid any higher than my preset 'limits' that I've determined. I've picked up a few star cards for a lot lower than I originally thought I would have to spend and some low pop cards for surprisingly lower prices. Just have to be sure that you're communicating with anyone and everyone out there.
At any rate, I've still got A LONG WAY to go, but I'm definitely proud of my ascension up to this point. Hopefully I can keep it up and challenge Jami in the near future! For now, just gotta get past Larry (BBCards4U) and that strong update that he did.
But, I love that I'm already past the 70% mark too. Never thought that I'd be at this point this early in the game. Now, the big task ahead is picking up all of those hard to find high #s. I just made a deal with Mike (smallstocks) which will move me up the ranks a bit, but I'm still way behind there. That's the advantage that Dave (Barkus) has on me. Just hope he doesn't find a ton of commons to catch up to my completion percentage!
This has been great fun and communicating via these boards and the comments from everyone has just kept my enthusiasm going for this set. When you read that folks are simply 'staying tuned' to the thread to see how things are going with our 72 sets, just makes it that much more fun!
Oh well, back to my searching!

I finally recieved my submission form from PSA for 16 free submissions. Although my raw set is mostly EX-NR there are more then enough cards that are gradable. This is a one shot deal for me. I have a handfull of low-pops that should grade out at 8 or better. Since most of the freebies come from Team set registry, I will have to come up with one Tiger, one Met, one Angel etc.
I will have to impose upon someone to send me a dozen card savers that are needed for submisions as I basically have very few and there is no local card shop here in the islands. All of my vintage raw cards are in rigid toploaders and I never had any use for the card savers. I am bidding on some Dave Read cards tonight, if I win any I will impose upon him to send me some for a few extra $.
I did add three low-pops yesterday......Henderson, Padres Rookies and Spiezio......

arny- at 70% complete you should still be able to add many cards at a decent pace, some of the larger dealer websites should have a handful of cards you need but you would have to be willing to pay "dealer prices" for cards that will eventually come along for less. I've noticed a bunch of newly graded cards where it seems that not too much emphasis has been put on centering, if i recall correctly you won a the horribly centered carew ia a few weeks ago, no way is the centering on that card in line with published standards for a 7 let alone an 8. on the other hand , if you looked through your set i'd bet you find a decent amount of 8's that could well be 9's....that la russa card you have could even be 10. There is72 psa 10 reggie cleveland card on ebay right now that i'm pretty sure was once in an 8 holder .
jami- nice pick up's , that padres rookies is a deceptively tough card, the spezio too. I have cs2's if you need them give me a shout.
bob- What are willing to wager? I just sent the seller an email asking about the Cleveland. In the spirit of full disclosure, i sold the seller a large lot of super high end 1972 psa 8's not too long ago .
The lot of four as well as the Sutton match the cert#'s i have recorded. When i sold the 8's to him I knew that there was plenty of crack and cross potential and the lot was advertised as such. Since I no longer submit to PSA i figured i'd sell them.
Arny, You and I need to work on our communication.
I just sold you a 1972 PSA 9 Jenkins on Naxcom. It would have saved us both some dollars for you to buy it directly or work out a trade. I have 3 of them now so I will make sure and pick out a nice one for you.

Dave, I didn't notice buying a 9 Jenkins. Sheesh, did I have an auto buy bid on it or something? Oh well, we can still work out a deal if you'd like.
Well, I got my cert #s (cards in the mail) from Mike (smallstocks)...8 Hi #s, fair deal. Added them and I'm now at 71.66% complete with a 5.38 rating. Just trailing Larry's set. Let's see if I can catch him in the next week or so.

Just wanted to say that this is one of the rare positive threads on the CU boards that I have seen in a long time. I pretty much quit posting here a year-plus ago but I still occasionally take a look. The 1972 set has gone through three "generations" of collecting cycles (I think was in the second wave) and its nice to see another group who was not around to break open packs in 1972 (that's an assumption on my part - correct me if I'm wrong) around to carry on. Keep it up guys!
I was 'around' in '72, but definitely not opening packs. It's my birth year and that was the main motivator to start collecting the set. Plus, the fact that I always liked the 'funky' design and the challenge of putting together a decently graded set with all of the centering problems on this monster set. I know that this 'generation' of '72ers is definitely psyched about collecting the set and we're constantly moving up the ranks. Great challenge and competition brings out the best in everyone and I have already had the same folks that I'm 'competing' with helping me tremendously. So, more than anything, this is a 'community' of collectors that respect each other and are definitely positive about how they go about it.
To quote a cheesy awards show nominee line.....I'm just happy to be here among such great people.

Oh, by the way, I won a couple more cards last night (PSA 8 commons) that I needed and it's pushed me to 5.44! Only .01 behind Larry's set! I'm almost there!
That is, until Larry blows us all away with a big update or something. Plus, I'm definitely wondering what Dave's update will do.

Arny, too funny. I was also born in 72. I wonder how much else we have in common. As you know I also live in South Florida....
My updates won't put me too close to you (and they take longer because I always wait to receive the cards before I enter them into my set). I am pacing myself, but picking up 9s where I can. Speaking of which, what happenned to the limited budget and your preset limits for cards? Every time I look up, you are outbidding me with bigger dollars than you were ever willing to spend before.

<< <i> Speaking of which, what happenned to the limited budget and your preset limits for cards? Every time I look up, you are outbidding me with bigger dollars than you were ever willing to spend before. >>
Arny......I have to agree with Dave on this........I want to finish my set ASAP but am not willing to overpay and would rather wait longer. That Les Cain you won last night @$26.01 was offered by Dave Read last week with a starting bid of $24.99. He got no bids and relisted it starting much lower. That is a very high pop card in PSA 9 and PSA 8 for that matter. ( I need the card also by the way) Just my two cents........or my five cents as my logo indicates.
...............Dave Read will be sending me my needed card savers.........Thank you Dave!

I think that I went crazy last night seeing those couple of cards that I could never find in PSA 8. That Barton only has like 20 in 8 and 10 in 9 with 1 PSA 10. So, I went for it. The same thing with the others. That Wilson has been dodging me the whole time for some reason, so I went for it in PSA 9. Maybe there was a full moon last night or something?
But, I did keep my 'limit' for my 8s last night as I won a few more commons.

Just so you guys know, I have been selling off my 1972 high numbers to you whippersnappers the last few months because I know I just would never have the patience to collect such a huge set. It has always been an absolute favorite of mine, but I still have lots of ungraded cards left to keep me company. The money I receive goes into my 1954 and 1955 sets. FWIW, all of these cards came from a lot of 150 high numbers I purchased from an ad in a magazine back in 1979. They actually came in a tiny box (the same size as graded cards come back from PSA in) and were totally curved from being fit in. I was 16 at the time and I remember putting a stack of heavy books on top of them for a week to flatten them out. Here is the kicker though . . . the lot of 150 cost me a grand total of $30! Thus far I have received 3 PSA 10 grades and 21 PSA 9's. Many cards simply haven't been submitted due to centering issues. Not too bad though, I guess.

That is, until Larry blows us all away with a big update or something. Plus, I'm definitely wondering what Dave's update will do.

My updates won't put me too close to you (and they take longer because I always wait to receive the cards before I enter them into my set). I am pacing myself, but picking up 9s where I can. Speaking of which, what happenned to the limited budget and your preset limits for cards? Every time I look up, you are outbidding me with bigger dollars than you were ever willing to spend before.

Arny......I have to agree with Dave on this........I want to finish my set ASAP but am not willing to overpay and would rather wait longer. That Les Cain you won last night @$26.01 was offered by Dave Read last week with a starting bid of $24.99. He got no bids and relisted it starting much lower. That is a very high pop card in PSA 9 and PSA 8 for that matter. ( I need the card also by the way) Just my two cents........or my five cents as my logo indicates.
...............Dave Read will be sending me my needed card savers.........Thank you Dave!

But, I did keep my 'limit' for my 8s last night as I won a few more commons.
