Just a note to mention that I've listed my 1975 registry set for sale. The starting bid is $6,495, and here's the link:

It's got both a PSA 9 Brett and Yount, with several other PSA 9 HOF'ers. Thanks for taking a look!

With an opening bid that high I doubt it will get much interest or bids but I might be wrong.
Good Luck!

In the description you state $100 shipping but at the bottom in the shipping info it says $125. Just an error I caught.

Machodoc

Thanks for the head's up on the shipping discrepancy. I corrected it to $100. Also, for what it's worth, SMR on the set is $10,395.

Good luck, I am so jealous. It will be interesting to see how this one does.

I think that is the only way to sell an item like this. if someone wants it , they will make the bid. it eliminates all the monkey bidding of 500 , 1000 , etc which the item will obviously going to go for more. bidders with the funds to buy an item like this will buyit with an opening high bid or by beating someone else out if htey want it. as someone who has put a lot of time and money into an item like this , no way would I take a chanc that 2 bidders will show up to make my price , if Ionly 1 shows up you are going to take a bath on the item

I really don't think the open is unreasonable at all. These large sets can be awfully tough and the 8th-place registered set is a great start toward a world-class assemblage. Assuming the set is strict NM/MT, such a set is highly collectable and desired by many. The issue is that many set builders need to do so at a certain pace that their income allows. A 6.5K splash can put many on the living room couch--if you get my drift.

You may want to scan a group of "typical commons" that can give a buyer a sense of the condition. PSA is very subjective--particularily with 70's sets--but the set builders of these sets are generally pretty consistent. Did you submit the cards yourself in general or was it assembled through Sirrius, mastro lots, etc. In the case of the latter, the set may require quite a few upgrades to fit the flips. In the former--assuming you're fairly discriminating--the set is "turn-key" and ready for viewing.

I recall Mike Castaldi selling his mostly PSA 8 75's recently for well over 6.5K, but the buyer knew how particular Mike was and figured he would require very few upgrades, I believe. Perhaps mentioning how the set was assembled and how many upgrades are in it would turn some people on a bit.

In any case, I hope you get what you desire for your considerable efforts and enjoy your next venture.

<< <i>monkey bidding >>



Oh, my goodness, I'm a monkey-bidder! I admit, I do that all the time. Here is the real reason I do it.

If I think the item is cool or I like the seller and he typically sells quality, I place a courtesy-bid to get the item play and stimulate the action a bit if I'm there first or second. Other times I use my "monkey-bid", I love this term, to track the item. In one case, I won a card after placing such a bid for well below the market (a PSA 9 '64 Stargell for 150 bucks). I never figured how that happened. I thought I must've inadvertantly bid on a qualified card, slipped into a different dimension in space, etc. When the card arrived it was a pretty soft 9 with great surfaces and it enjoyed my home for a couple of years until I sold it on eBay. Go figure.

No paypal? I know everyone hates the fees on all these sites, but I do feel safer on a big purchase. Of course a big purchase online for me is about $300. lol

Thanks all!

I had one guy send me an email saying how insulted he was at the $100 s/h quote. I mean really - 660 slabs tends to weigh a few pounds, not to mention the bulk. Unlike a few cards, if you are going to do it right, the cost of materials for a safe packaging job is a teensey bit more than a padded envelope. I seriously doubt that I will make any money on shipping, and if someone wants to pay nearly $7k for a set, then another $100 for a safe shipping package & postage shouldn't break their bank.

Why not start it at $6595.00 and FREE SHIPPING. It's all the same to you but the bidders may appreciate it more.

Awesome set BTW.

JMO, Bob

Machodoc

Good idea Bob - I took your advice.

Steve - you didn't answer how you collected the set. Awesome set, one of my favorites. I compare this to window shopping, it looks great but out of my price range. Good luck...Eddie
