Raiders of the Lost Ark

packman

I was wondering if anyone has any interest in this set. I majored in Archeology in college and loved the movie. I have opened over 2 wax cases of this set over the past 3 years. It is very tough to find mint cards due to the green borders and lack of quality in the paper stock and production. In addition, the green borders range from a deep green to a light green. The light green borders show a lot if imperfections in the print. I have set aside around 50 cards to submit to PSA that should grade out at least 9. I realize it does not make financial sense to due this set in graded form. I was thinking of not submitting doubles due to lack of interest based on the pop reports. However, if others are interested in the set, then I would submit some of my doubles. If someone is not interested in a graded set but would like pack fresh raw set (centering will vary), let me know. I have a few left.

As a side note, despite the red borders, I have found that the Temple of Doom set is easy to put together in mint condition. The quality in paper stock and production was much improved in 1984. I have a few raw sets from this movie available. I am not planning on doing this set in graded form. It doesn't present the challenge of the Raiders set.

I have this set on my "RADAR". I just don't know when. Maybe I'll buy a box and stuff away. My next set is going to be ESB.

This set is on my radar too... I'd defintely pick up some PSA 10's on eBay if the price was right. Here's my current collecting focus (and you can see where this set drops in):
