Some Random BSK/FB Grades and Crossovers (Added Scans)

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
This is my first submission in ages (Feb $5 special), but I still generally hit the grades I guessed. The biggest cards are probably a 1983 Payton PSA 10 (pulled from a pack) and a 1972 PSA 9 Jabbar (BCCG 9 bought cheap!), and a 1976 PSA 8 Payton RC (bought as a youth ~15 years ago for about $20!). Most of the crossovers were GAI and SGC (all crack-and-submits) and crossed over as expected to fair grades and most of the late 70s and early 80s stuff I pulled from packs over the years. The crossovers were mostly things I wanted to get into PSA holders for my personal collection.

1 40425720 1972 TOPPS 15 JOHN HADL N/A 8 (Pulled from pack, hoped for low pop 9)
2 40425721 1972 TOPPS 240 LARRY LITTLE N/A 7 (SGC 7/84, RC)
3 40425722 1972 TOPPS 244 CHARLIE JOINER N/A 7 (BVG 8.5, RC)
4 40425723 1974 TOPPS 137 JACK HAM N/A 8 (pack)
5 40425724 1975 TOPPS 12 MEL BLOUNT N/A 8 (GAI 8.5, RC)
6 40425725 1975 TOPPS 39 ROCKY BLEIER N/A 9 (pack, RC)
7 40425726 1975 TOPPS 367 DAN FOUTS N/A 8 (SGC 9/96 RC, hoped for 9, may resubmit)
8 40425727 1976 TOPPS 148 WALTER PAYTON N/A 8 (RC bought raw years ago, guessed a 7!)
9 40425728 1976 TOPPS 220 JACK LAMBERT N/A 8 (Raw from eBay, RC)
10 40425729 1977 TOPPS 245 TERRY BRADSHAW N/A 8 (pack)
11 40425730 1977 TOPPS 245 TERRY BRADSHAW N/A 9 (pack)
12 40425731 1977 TOPPS 284 DANNY WHITE N/A 9 (SGC 8.5/92, RC)
13 40425732 1977 TOPPS 360 WALTER PAYTON ALL-PRO 8 (pack)
14 40425733 1978 TOPPS 320 JOHN STALLWORTH N/A 8 (pack, RC)
15 40425734 1978 TOPPS 320 JOHN STALLWORTH N/A 9 (SGC 9/96, RC)

19 40425738 1979 TOPPS 160 TONY DORSETT N/A 9OC (pack, borderline straight 9)
20 40425739 1979 TOPPS 308 OZZIE NEWSOME N/A 8 (SGC 8/88, RC)
21 40425740 1983 TOPPS 36 WALTER PAYTON N/A 10 (pack)
22 40425741 1972 TOPPS 100 KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR N/A 9 (BCCG 9!)
23 40425742 1974 TOPPS 39 BILL WALTON N/A 8 (GAI 7.5, RC)
24 40425743 1977 TOPPS 1 KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR N/A 8 (pack, hoped for 9)
25 40425744 1977 TOPPS 1 KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR N/A 8 (pack)
26 40425745 1977 TOPPS 58 JOHN LUCAS N/A 10 (pack, perfect RC)
27 40425746 1977 TOPPS 111 ROBERT PARISH N/A 8 (pack, RC)
27 40425747 1977 TOPPS 111 ROBERT PARISH N/A 9 (pack, nice HOF RC)
28 40425748 1978 TOPPS 110 KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR N/A 9 (pack)

I have another pre-72 and higher-end card submission they are looking over as well, since those didn't fit into the Feb special.

    Are the PSA 9 Stallworth and Parish rookies for sale?

    Each of those bolded cards are dynamite. Love the BCCG crossover - what is a 9 with them, NM?

    The BCCG grade numbers seem to have been chosen to allow sketchy dealers and shopping networks to mislead customers with what are inflated grades:

    10 Mint+
    9 Near Mint+
    8 Excelent+
    7 Very Good+
    6 Good+
    5 Poor+
    1-4: They don't give these, as far as I know

    BCCG claims they don't grade "Vintage cards (pre 1981)", but they seem to make a lot of exceptions (see eBay).

    shagrotn77, the Stallworth is for me, but the Parish RC should be for sale sometime soonish. I've got two 9s now, and I only want one. I'll post back here once I get the package from PSA and can post a scan. It may be a couple of weeks, though, and I might put many of these I don't want on eBay since my wife seems to enjoy doing that, but is out of town for now.

    My other pending submission has a few more cards from my childhood including a 1966 Mays #1 PSA 7/8 my dad bought me for christmas in 1986 or so and what might be a very nice Julius Erving RC (PSA 7/8) that I pulled from a raw set.

    I'm also working on a submission of 83/84/85 T football, but I am very slow....

    how old were you 15 years ago (if you don't mind my asking)?

    I know when i was younger my cards were for trading, showing off and sticking on my wall w/ tacks.

    Nice submissions, scans?

    some nice results. Parish in a 9.
  • ranarana Posts: 242 ✭
    I got the Mays as a gift when I was 12-13, I'd estimate (I'm 30 now). Many of my cards are more beat up, but there were a few I managed to keep nice, since they were in thicker plastic slabs and my parents spared them. Lots of my childhood cards are 80s stuff that was shoved in and out of pages so many times that few survived to be PSA worthy, but they are still fun to have. I also had a small surviving collection of unopened wax, but I'm slowly opening that for some evening entertainment.

    When my slabs arrive from PSA, I'll scan a few cards and post here. Right now, the USPS can't seem to track it.

    Here are the grades for the older stuff. Overall, not bad, though I dreamed of a 7 on the Maris/Mantle combo. I love that card. The Cowens RC in a 9 is a nice surprise - it had a touch of wax on the back. The Erving RC in an 8 is a very nice 8, it was a borderline 9.

    1 40425750 1964 TOPPS 262 CARDINALS ROOKIES M.SHANNON/H.FANOK 7 (guessed 7, Cardinals announcer)
    2 40425751 1964 TOPPS 331 A.L. BOMBERS MARIS/CASH/MANTLE/KALINE 6 (guessed 7, still pretty!)
    3 40425752 1966 TOPPS 1 WILLIE MAYS N/A 7 (centered 7 from my childhood)
    4 40425753 1969 TOPPS 69 LANCE ALWORTH N/A 8 (bought raw, from vending)
    5 40425754 1970 TOPPS 61 GLEN RAY HINES N/A 9 (SGC 92/8.5 crossover, he grew up close to me)
    6 40425755 1971 TOPPS 1 JOHN UNITAS N/A 7 (from a pack, hoped for 8, tough red border)
    7 40425756 1971 TOPPS 3 M. SCHOTTENHEIMER N/A 7 (RC, from pack, hoped for 8, red border)
    8 40425757 1971 TOPPS 10 LANCE ALWORTH N/A 8 (bought raw, played college a few miles from me)
    9 40425758 1971 TOPPS 47 DAVE COWENS N/A 9 (RC raw off eBay, very happy!)
    10 40425759 1972 TOPPS 195 JULIUS ERVING N/A 8 (RC from a raw set, high end 8)

    Still no cards in my hands, so no scans yet, guys. image

    These were some free subs. I'll compliment PSA on quick service, good email communication, and fair and I think accurate grading overall.
  • ranarana Posts: 242 ✭
    I promised sample scans of the first submission, so here they are:

    The second submission is still on its way back to me.

    The 1977 Lucas is my oldest (non-crossover) personally-submitted 10 and the 1971 Cowens is my oldest 9, if memory serves.

    For those I'm likely selling (the 10s, non-crossovers, a few others), they will go on eBay in a week or two, but PM with offers if you want to pay approximate eBay prices now instead. I do have a 77 Parish PSA 9 NQ for sale at whatever going eBay prices are PM for a scan and details.

    For traders (or sellers), I need these basketball in PSA 9: 71 Lanier, 72 Westphal, 73 McAdoo (or an 8), 74 Gervin, 77 Dantley, 77 Dawkins, 79 Ron Brewer. And for football 8s: 70 Page, Alworth 72 Riggins, Hushaw, Hendricks, 73 Ham, Shell, 74 Guy. FB 9s in: 75 Swann, Branch, Pearson, R White, H Martin, 77 Webster, Casper, A Griffin, M Haynes, L Selmon, H Carson, 78 Dorsett, 79 Campbell, Lofton, Newsome. PM for more info.

    My scanner isn't great, but here are some scans of the second batch:

    The Mantle/Maris is sooo close to a 7 if not for one corner! The Lucas RC 10 is a 1/1, I noticed last week!

    Nice grades.

    I'd be interested in the 1970 Hines card if you're selling it. LMK

    That is a great looking cowens rookie. You don't see many 9's of that one.
  • ranarana Posts: 242 ✭
    shouldabeena10, the Glenn Ray Hines card is for my personal collection (he is a local favorite in my town). The Cowens in a 9 was a surprise to me as well, though it has nearly perfect eye appeal - especially the corners and centering. I bought it raw off eBay for a raw set I was building, but it looked too nice to leave in a 9-pocket page!
