Guys, the 1984 Donruss box has arrived! Steve Hart packaged it nicely and it's sitting right here on my desk.
Robert, I just need your $50 to be all paid. I'm going to try and get to the post office on Monday (I work today) to pick up some boxes and package each lot of 9 packs. From there, we can set a date (possibly next Saturday or Sunday?) to rip these puppies open! Or, would you like to rip 'em as you receive 'em?

Alright, we're all paid up and ready to go to the post office. I'm hoping to mail these out Monday afternoon/Tuesday morning so that we can have them in time for the weekend. By the way, please keep an eye out for any PSA 9 condition or above cards that I need for my set!

Anyone have any feedback about one what Pop1/Pop2 PSA 10s sell for? I have a group of BGS 9.5s and I can't decide whether to try and cross them myself or put them out on Ebay as is. If any of you are feeling lucky send me a PM.
not exactly sure what they go for but I seem to notice a lot of 10's regularly listed at $19.99 to start. I also know that a lot of 44 PSA 10's were listed and it ended yesterday without meeting the minimum...high bid was around $575 if I remember correctly....there were some stars in the lot also.........I've seen the stars sell for high prices, especially Carters and Mattingly's.....need to have Bug on the Rug fill you in more...he's the expert as far as I'm concerned........Arny and a few other can help also.......
If you have 1/1 or even 1/2 PSA 10s, then you're looking at anywhere between $25-40 per common player. For the stars, it goes up from there. Joe Carter 10s have been going consistently for $400 and Mattingly 10s for no less than $600 or so. Ryan, Rose, Ripken, Gwynn...anywhere between $75-100.

I have a lot of 42 psa 9 84 Donruss commons. If anyone wants to start a psa 9 NQ set, here is a nice lot. I also would trade for psa 7 or 8s 50s or 60s baseball or 9s from the 70s. I am looking for $120 cash or a fun trade.
I'm still around but haven't spent much time in the card world as of late. I was back east last week with family and have been very busy since spring attending to family matters, both out here in CA and back in PA. Just typical life happenings that we all go through, but in a condensed version so far in 2006.
During this time I've also come to the decision to sell my 'Summer of 84D' registry set. Changing priorities coupled with a slight burnout of collecting (which we've all gone through at some point - this is my 3rd time in 24 years) factors in the decision. My goal is to sell the Basic set complete, along with all the variations I have in the Master. If I can't get a fair price (to be determined) for the whole package, I will break it, giving the great bunch of 84D guys here first crack at making me very strong offers for any cards in the set. Please note that I'm not selling the cards for need of cash, and since I have good knowledge of the tough cards, very strong offers will only be considered.
At some point within the next few days I'll post the set on the boards with some scans and see what offers transpire. Ebay will be the next step, and if I'm not satisfied with that, I'll then bust the set and see what happens.
For me this is just a bump in the road and nothing more. Card collecting is in my blood and who knows - at some point I may do another 84D set. I certainly haven't lost my love for this set, that's for sure.
Stay tuned on the boards for the 'post' and we'll see what happens....................
So, I'm halfway to great looking scans then. I "soften" the pictures which probably means "reduce noise". Do you do that first or "sharpen" the scan first? Or, does it matter?

I've done it both ways and it didn't seem to matter much. I'm in the middle of scanning my entire set, doing it by removing noise then sharpening, in that order.
Ok, had to open one today since they were sitting on my desk. 3 HOFers in there and the 2nd card was a flawless, perfectly centered Pete Rose. Schmidt was a bit OC, but looked great otherwise. This is the first time I've had any of this set in hand- I'm more of a pre war collector, but I've seen a lot of Bill's scans and thought this was a really nicely designed and photographed set. Having them in hand makes me realize my first impressions were correct. I was always under the impression that '89 Upper Deck was THE set of the '80's, but IMO this set blows that one away. Damn, I'd vowed not to start any more sets until I completed a few. At least it shouldn't kill me putting together a nice raw set.

Anthony, Why put a raw set together when a completely graded one in 9 and 10 will be put on ebay this Thursday? All it takes takes is a whole bunch of C-notes. I guarantee you the physical weight of the set will out-weigh the bunch of C-notes.
Ever try and lift almost 700 slabs at the same time?
<< <i>Ever try and lift almost 700 slabs at the same time? >>
unfortunately, yes. The people at BofA know better than to try and pull out my safety deposit box themselves. Think I'll stick to raw, takes up a lot less space and I can flip thru the pages anytime I want. But best of luck on your set, it sure is nice!

my roots were ripping packs and putting them in cigar boxes- I've just refined it a bit (plus a box of decent cigars costs too much and they don't give away the boxes anymore!)

Well, my first pack went decently well......Yount, Sandberg (OC), Parrish (wax) and a well centered Marshall Edwards....
....the rest of the pack goes like this.
Bobby Grich - OC l/r Eric Show - dings & OC l/r & t/b Jose Morales - same as E.Show Gary Woods - PSA 8 candidate Len Sakata - OC l/r & t/b Dave Kingman - PSA 8 candidate Ben Oglivie - top left corner ding & OC t/b Frank Tanana - OC l/r & t/b Len Barker - possible PSA 8 George Foster - OC l/r Richard Dotson - OC l/r
.....you can see that centering problems prevailed in the pack. The Yount and Edwards were decent though. More packs to come either later this morning or tomorrow!
Oh....and Griffins....this set is absolutely beautiful when you look at it all complete (or nearly completed) in binders or in slabs. I've got a couple of complete sets raw. Good luck with yours!

The centering on the Edwards is super. Centering like this is sooooooo hard to find on a consistent basis. Throw in bold colors like on the Yount and it's understandable why 84D is so popular.
I agree Bill...that's why I just send in a 100 card submission....received the PSA receipt today.....so soon I hope to be telling everyone about a great submission......keeping my fingers crossed......I know that the $6 a piece cost was high but I couldn't wait any longer......It's probably affected us all at some time or the other....
The Ron Darling No Number card is common. The Numbered card (in factory sets) in PSA 9 has been getting some nice dough. But, it's just as tough as the others with the centering issues. That's why this set is such a tough one to complete.

Pack #2 was not very special....a Fred Lynn DK (shown below) with an outside shot at an 8
But, that's why this set is a challenge for us! Here's the Lynn....
....the rest of the pack goes like this....
Frank White - OC l/r John Henry Johnson - OC l/r Jeff Russell - OC l/r Cesar Cedeno - OC l/r (outside shot at an 8) Willie Wilson - OC l/r (outside shot at an 8) Steve Trout - OC l/r & t/b Geoff Zahn - OC l/r & t/b Benny Ayala - looks like a PSA 8 w/outside shot at a 9 Doug Sisk - OC l/r & t/b Luis Leal - OC l/r (outside shot at an 8) Phil Garner - OC l/r (possibly an 8 though) Mike Heath - OC l/r & ding Juan Espino - looks like an 8 Salome Barojas - OC l/r
.....so, hopefully the next pack is better.

My 3rd pack was a little better in the centering department, but the biggest 'star' was a Brett Butler (wax stain)....
...the rest of the pack went like this....
Andy McGaffigan - centered, but touched corner keeps it at an 8 Checklist 4 - OC r/l Ned Yost - OC l/r Rich Gale - OC l/r (shot at an 8) Joey McLaughlin - OC l/r Luis Salazar - OC l/r (shot at an 8) Roy Smalley - OC l/r (shot at an 8) Bob Knepper - OC l/r Domingo Ramos - OC r/l & b/t Doug Frobel - OC l/r (shot at an 8) Dave Rozema - OC l/r
Let's hope for better stuff from the rest!

sorry for the delay but i havent had time to check my box yet, hopefully tomorrow. hey blind post that darling scan - i 've been searching for that darling in a 10 forever!
arny i got my packs, thanks. i ripped them in 5 mins. oh the memories. no mattingly. oc's, corner dings and some tiny dents on a few cards along the top border. joe carter oc, reggie oc, i pulled about 20 cards to post scans. a real nice dk checklist that has 10 centering but a tiny corner ding. ripken, boggs look like 9's. about 5 possible 10's i think. scans to follow
Alright guys ... here come my scans for my portion of our bust....
Overall, I had 12 nicely centered, possible PSA 9+ cards out of the entire lot. Not too bad I guess considering the known centering issues for this product. Here are the first six of those 12.
RVC, unfortunately the Darling has a slight diamond cut -- otherwise it'd have a shot at a 10.

I'm most impressed by the Cabell. It's a tough card and yours is very nicely centered.
Funny thing about 84D's - when I've ripped wax boxes, I swear I'll never to do that again, and then go to ripping factory sets. After ripping a few factory sets, I swear I'll never to that again, leaning once more in the wax direction. What does this all mean?.............
WHERE'S ALL THE FRICKIN RACK CASES????????............................... (not that would change anything - it's just another short-sighted way out.)

hey blind post that darling scan - i 've been searching for that darling in a 10 forever!
Overall, I had 12 nicely centered, possible PSA 9+ cards out of the entire lot. Not too bad I guess considering the known centering issues for this product. Here are the first six of those 12.
RVC, unfortunately the Darling has a slight diamond cut -- otherwise it'd have a shot at a 10.

Though I'm currently building this set in high grade raw first --- so for now these won't be shipped to PSA anytime soon.

Funny thing about 84D's - when I've ripped wax boxes, I swear I'll never to do that again, and then go to ripping factory sets. After ripping a few factory sets, I swear I'll never to that again, leaning once more in the wax direction. What does this all mean?.............
WHERE'S ALL THE FRICKIN RACK CASES????????...............................
