Only six PSA 9s, none higher. It is one of the toughest Yankees from the 1977 Topps set, in terms of population. Just as tough as Jim Hunter. From a pure PSA Registry standpoint, there are at least five people working on 1977 Topps Yankee team sets in high-grade, not to mention a plethora of 1977 Topps set collectors. Tough card - with more than enough people 'needing' this upgrade, along with bankrolls to support it, for a huge price.

I hear ya on everything you said, I still think its nuts. There will be so many more to come. As of now there are roughly 26,000 77's graded, and more than double that of 78's, so one would have to believe there is alot more out there. I noticed 4SC having alot more 77's lately, maybe this is the start of a nice run.

Nuts to you, sure. But for a bunch of those bidders, I'm sure that $250+ isn't a lot of scratch. Not to mention that there is a large part of the hobby that still believes grading anything from 1977 is probably silly, especially any minor stars. Given that you can still buy a 1977 Topps wax box for under $500 - I can make a lot of arguments. But that is why I spend my money elsewhere, duly noting that I spend silly money on a good deal of what I buy.

I saw one recently sell on Ebay for just about that much.
