There is oil in plastic ! Its just a matter of time before the price for slabs goes up and then submission rates will follow along with the Post Office rates and PSA will no longer be grading 78 commons ! So grab them up now
I have about 20 psa 9's including some stars like stargell bench carlton and a few yankees. If someone wants 'em i'll dig them out. Most of them I sent in myself to make the 25 card limits on specials. I was surprised that I didn't get any 10's.That was before they started to appear like magic though.

I used to have alot, but there are guys who just love to take them. Not that I liked seeing them go. 99% were all submitted myself ... one day when I am close to 100% in PSA 9 I will stop letting them go!

For Christ sake, does anyone really fall for this stuff? You telling me that there not going to be some printing variations will the hundreds of thousands of cards that were prinited in 1978?
The weight given is because, well, its Pete Rose. I am sure that double, triple, quadruple, whatever printed cards bears zero impact on the grade weight in the set. By the way, you are right, I don't remember the last time a Rose # 20 wasn't on e-bay!
<< <i>By the way, you are right, I don't remember the last time a Rose # 20 wasn't on e-bay! >>
Wow - that card, in PSA 9, used to be in the SMR for $115 as recently as last year. Now, I see it is listed at $50, and if it actually brings $50, I would be amazed. There must be a zillion of these floating around in PSA 9 slabs.
way too many roses in 9 floating around, and the dam has burst recently on psa 10's for ole petey, i'm seeing at least of those every week now along with all the 9's. i think i've seen at least 2 auctions in the last month for lots of pete in psa8, 5 or 6 of them in the lot, so there are tons of them out there
I think the double print actually helps on his card in this set, as you have to go through twice as many of them to find nice 9 candidates, alot of them have issues keeping them from 9's (lots of tilts on the roses)
If the link does not work for some reason, you can search for the cards under my eBay name, mefer. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid.
I have a PSA 9 NQ #540 Steve Carlton. It was from a submission of mine from a modern special a few months ago. I have atttached a scan (I hope). First $15 (delivered) gets it. The last two on the bay closed at $12.50 (one with $3.50 S/H another with $2.50 S/H), so i think $15 is fair market value right now.
For reference, my Ebay ID is rugbymarine. I have also bought/sold/traded with a handful of board members.
P.S. Who is this joigoe Ebayer that is buying everything PSA 10s in 78?
Stingray >>
I don't know but I have not seen much from honesty2n4u who was buying strictly 10's. Those PSA 10 buyers, they are like shooting stars except spikemax of course
I would like to have between 10-20 in my set, but no way am I going to pay over book for common PSA 10s. Come on Spikemax you need to win that Molitor/Trammel card. Rather see a registrey person win it.
spikey, what happened today?, i missed you, hehe i guess your too busy fightin over that molitor with me, i thought you'd miss it ;-) softy, joigoe is the new honesty4nu, the next in a long line of Gem Mint 10 wannabe's 8-) its really nice to start out with the goal of all 10's when your just starting out, but then when you do that math, hmm 726 x $50, man that's over $36,000 big ones and thats not counting the difference for the stars or postage, whew!, whooda thunk late 70's could be so expensive
what i think is more amazing than not is that we've got 3 sets in 1978 that are complete (or just a few shy of complete) in a grade of over psa 9, and one almost to 9 thats almost complete also. Just running the numbers on a nine set for the 78's with an average of $15 a card (average of stars, commons, postage, etc) thats almost $11k, WOW!
softparade, spike, Frank (the king) and others, whats your favorite card in the 78's? the lenny randle is a classic, the felix millan is a nice action shot, and check out jose cardenal's fro, he must have taken style tips from oscar gamble and it seems like in the set almost all the yanks got action poses for some reason, not the standard spring training warming up with the bat poses like the rest
the 2 worst are the paxton and minton (both fake drawings, not real pictures)
I have a question for the 1978 Baseball collectors: How common is it to see print smudges on a PSA 9? In particular, I'm looking a George Brett in PSA 9 without the print spots I have seen on other copies. Also I noticed there is a relative disparity in the Pop numbers on the 1978 Brett relative to the 1977 and 1979. Is this because 1978's are tougher in general or is it that the George Brett is more difficult?
I think the Brett is just plain difficult. My "best copy" is off center. I personally have yet to see a nice centered one. Besides, it is an ugly picture of him, all head.

I showed my graded cards to my dad today. He asked "so what is the difference between a 6 and an 8?" and I think I mumbled something incoherent.

Any reason? If my memory is correct, that card was double printed. I thought Topps double printed 66 cards and the Rose card was one.

Nice trim job!
Stingray
If you are going to trim, at least make it a Murray or Molitor.
softy, joigoe is the new honesty4nu, the next in a long line of Gem Mint 10 wannabe's 8-)
its really nice to start out with the goal of all 10's when your just starting out, but then when you do that math, hmm 726 x $50, man that's over $36,000 big ones and thats not counting the difference for the stars or postage, whew!,
whooda thunk late 70's could be so expensive
Just running the numbers on a nine set for the 78's with an average of $15 a card (average of stars, commons, postage, etc) thats almost $11k, WOW!
whats your favorite card in the 78's?
the lenny randle is a classic, the felix millan is a nice action shot, and check out jose cardenal's fro, he must have taken style tips from oscar gamble and it seems like in the set almost all the yanks got action poses for some reason, not the standard spring training warming up with the bat poses like the rest
the 2 worst are the paxton and minton (both fake drawings, not real pictures)
I like #35 Lyle and #200 Jackson. Probably has something to do with me being a Yankees fan.

I have a question for the 1978 Baseball collectors: How common is it to see print smudges on a PSA 9? In particular, I'm looking a George Brett in PSA 9 without the print spots I have seen on other copies. Also I noticed there is a relative disparity in the Pop numbers on the 1978 Brett relative to the 1977 and 1979. Is this because 1978's are tougher in general or is it that the George Brett is more difficult?
Thanks,
Mike.
