i went to the cookie jar took out $50,000 and was ready to buy. then i re-read his auction which claimed that mike schmidt was the greatest phillie ever . i put the money back in the jar. this seller is clueless if he doesn't know who mitch williams is.
My John Hilton player collection could use those cards.
Anyone else got a John Hilton rookie for cheaper than that?
I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.
Seller does not have to worry about selling that card at that starting price anytime soon.Maybe he is mistaking Schmidt for Lou Gehrig.FORGEDABOUD ID BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the ultimate for any Phils fan or PSA card collector. There are only 3 Topps and 3 OPeeChee PSA 10s in existence - this listing is 33% of the available PSA 10 Mike Schmidt cards. This card is from the very difficult to find 5th series (529-660), and any card collector will tell you that it is almost impossible to find the 1973 Topps cards centered on front and back, as well as with no chip marks on the back of the black border. The cards speak for themselves - you are buying the best of the best of the greatest Hall of Fame third baseman to ever play Major League Baseball. He is the greatest Philadelphia Phillie to ever play the game. Michael Jack Schmidt hit 548 home runs in his glorious career, 11th all time. He won the National League MVP in 1980, 1981 and 1986, and was an All-Star 12 times in 1974, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1989. He won 10 Gold Gloves in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1986. He played in the postseason in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, and 1983, leading the Phillies to their only World Series Championship in '80 versus the Kansas City Royals. Schmidt is featured on this card with Ron Cey (Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Oakland Athletics) and John Dave Hilton (San Diego Padres). Please email me with any questions you may have - I'd be happy to help. Good luck in bidding.
I gotta tell you, I pulled out my OPC PSA 9 mint example of this card, and my example is pretty darn close with respect to centering. But my PSA 9 example does have a small print mark above Ron Cey's LA Baseball Cap! And the reverse on my example is close to (20/80 L/R).
In fact I just looked at all my "3-player" the rookie cards in my 1973 OPC Registry Set and most of them have a simular "cut" as the PSA 10 example being offered (i.e., a better than average "cut", compared to the typical "rough cuts" we have all come to expect with these '70's OPC's!). But still, the PSA 10 example has a much smoother "cut" on the edges (one would hope not a "too good to be true" cut?)
PSA 9 OPC #613 Rookie Catchers (Bob Boone/Skip Juste/Mike Ivie). The factory cut is better than average (like that PSA 10!) PSA 9 OPC #614 Rookie Outfielders (Al Bumbry/Dwight Evans/Charlie Spikes). Another good OPC factory cut (same as the 10!) PSA 9 OPC #615 Rookie 3rd Basemen (Ron Cey/John Hilton/Mike Schmidt). A beautiful "OPC rough cut"!! PSA 9 OPC #616 Rookie Pitchers (Angelini/Blateric/Mike Garman). 2 examples: one "rough cut" and the other much "smoother"
Other '73 Rookies: #604 (2) One rough cut and one mostly smooth #605 (2) Also one rough cut and one fairly smooth #608 Only slightly rough cut on the bottom edge #609 Very close to the PSA 10 (maybe "too nice"???) #610 Barely a "rough cut". Very nice card! #611 (2) One "rough cut" and the other PSA 9 "A smoothie!"???
But all of these "three player" rookie cards I own in PSA 9, are very nice examples, but the longer I look at that PSA 10, the better and more "Topps like" those edges look on that PSA 10!
DOES ANYONE HERE QUESTION "JUST HOW SMOOTH ALL THOSE EDGES ARE"? ON THAT OPC???
IS IT A "FOR SURE" FACTORY CUT??? OR COULD IT BE A $25,000 MEMOREX??? (are a couple of those edges "a little rough cut" or are the edges "smoooooooth"???
