1976 Topps Baseball Thread

ArnyVee

I'm looking for L.A. Dodger cards in PSA 9 or better from the 70's, including this fine set! Drop me a PM if anyone has any to offer.

nam812

Does anyone know any details of why Willie McCovey has 152 PSA 9s and 46 PSA 10s from this set? Those numbers are way out of proportion with this very poorly centered set. Maybe a big vending find? Maybe a submission someone has firsthand knowledge about? Just thought it would make for interesting reading if anyone knew why.

PS - Just for laughs I pulled out my mint raw set, and wouldn't you know that my McCovey is very sharp and centered 50/50 both ways.

julen23

dunno, but whoever photographed the card couldn't of gotten any closer to his grill!

friggin a, of all the great action shots or whatever and you get that? bah

Could use thread-assistance building my 1976 Registry set. I want to start by purchasing large lots of PSA 9 commons. (I have only about 20 cards from the set, all HOF's, team cards and stars.)

If you can help, buzz me!

Thanks,

Nick

Whats up fellas, just letting you know I am interested in the following cards if any of you update your sets with 9's and 10's and want to sell extras.

Yaz, Fred Lynn, Piniella, Schmidt, Rose, Brett, Reggie Jackson. Thank You!

Paul


Editted to add... Psa 7, 8 is what Im looking for.

RedHeart54

PSA 9 George Brett (not mine!) just went up. 1 of 5 according to pop report. Not crazy about the centering but I'm sure it will still bring rightous bucks.

Great cards, this is the first pack of cards I ever received. I was nine years old in 1976, fell off my bike and had to have stitches in my knee and the neighbor whose yard I fell in bought be a 1976 cello pack. A love afair with these cards started right there. For me , these are great looking cards but also have major sentimental value to me as well.

New registry addition!

rd

P.S. Bidding was tuff, somehow, when the "dust settled", I was the winner!

ArchStanton

I am seriously considering selling my set. I have not added to it significantly in some time. I believe I've lost interest. I'm not sure what I want to switch to, but I may be at the end of the line on this one. I would most likely just continue the pursuit of my Pirates collection.


My 1976 set

Any suggestions?

ArchStanton

This thread has really fallen. That is surprising given the current ebay activity in this set. The set I'm posting is not graded, but I think the folks reading this thread will appreciate it.

GDM67

That is profoundly cool

I remember their ads from the early Beckett-Sport Americana guides.

Stingray

That is cool!! Reminds me of when I had my old Topps Card Locker.

ArchStanton

I am making an attempt to sell my '76 set. Here is a link.

ebay link

I am certainly not trying to pimp it here. Most of you already have much nicer sets. I did think you would be interested to see if the set gets any attention outside of the collectors in this thread.

gemint

Is that the same set from your post earlier this month? If so, how did you get them graded so quickly?

ArchStanton

No. That is the graded set I have been working on for a few years. I don't have the heart to break up the other set.

julen23

very cool.

i have 2 topps lockers that are covered in cereal stickers and he-man schwag from my childhood.

Rob...as I salivate over the fantastic cards you post here, I always have wondered:

since you go through this much trouble anyway, why don't you upload these pics into your Registry sets too?

I'll give you a free bump.

I have not been active in building my set. I haven't even been watching the registry for several months, so when i log to the registry today, and see that i have been bumped up in rank to 24th (yes, i know, cannon fodder in compairson) i was saddened.....

I loved looking at your set on the registry Bob, sorry to see it go. It was a great set! I actually own a few of your discarded cards that you upgraded. Unfortunatly i wont be upgrading this set anytime soon due to life situations. But i will watch your auctions ( with a serious woody mind you )!

Good luck, Stozy

Ebay Spam--Lot of 48 PSA 9 ending 12/12/07

Thanks

Stingray

Has there ever been a 1976 Topps BB specific article in the SMR?? If so what month/year was it published. I would like to get my hands on one.

Thanks!!

mmsportscards

sting-


I dont ever recall seeing one. Its one of my favorites though great action shots.

ahkmedbinladen

Sting,
I have SMRs dating back to about 1999? and the only thing I could find was The "disco 70s sets" in the Oct 2002 with Brett Favre on the cover.Dont think they have covered the 76 set yet.Would be a good one.

Stingray

A couple from a recent win on Ebay. Do not want to let this thread fall too far:





Hopefully some more to come, I have been really wanting to start this set and thought that doing an all PSA 9 set would be impossible, but after looking at some of the PSA 8s in other sets I think having PSA 9s and 8s will just be fine with me.

mealeworm

I just listed a sharp 1976 Rod Carew #400 PSA 9 if anyone is in the market.



1976 #400 Rod Carew PSA 9

Stozy

yissir, i have the carew in the watch list already, very beautiful piece

But, ofcourse, as a Minnesotan, i have to love Carew - in all his sexy beast type glory!!

Stingray

<< <i>yissir, i have the carew in the watch list already, very beautiful piece

I love the AL League Leaders card for BA, Carew just destroyed the 2nd place person!!

Stingray

Posted these over on the other thread, but thought I would share here:

Stingray

Wow, I need some extra coin, good luck on this sale. Would it be better to go through an auction house??

LINK

augustaman

Hey Stingray -
That sure is a nice set but if the price is an issue,
I can make the #4 set available to you (or anyone
else) for half that price.

Stingray

Won a few more yesterday, but man really wanted the Sal Bando card in PSA 9. Card went for almost $20. Not sure if this is a tough card to find, but somebody wanted it more than I did.

Wink

Need a raw 1976 # 7 Umbarger NM-MT to finish my set. Just looking for a trade. Have some nice other commons from this year. Thanks.

Stingray

Looks like some of the top 76 set guys are doing some upgrading and adding to their sets. Things seem to be heating up??

Estil

I only have a raw set but I do still love this set and want to make it as nice I can. Is it okay if I join this group even though I don't do PSA cards?

Stingray

<< <i>I only have a raw set but I do still love this set and want to make it as nice I can. Is it okay if I join this group even though I don't do PSA cards? >>




Would love to see some scans of your set, maybe your favorite cards??

Estil

It still needs some work. Once I'm satisifed with it, I'll post some scans (it's only about EXMT-NRMT at best, and there's still a few less). Of course, if anyone has a good sized lot or near set of NRMT/MT raw 1976's (no Eck/Ryan). It'd sure help. I sure hope that guy (fellow forum member) with a near 1979 set from a rack case is as PSA 8-9 range as he says it is. See my 1978 set is super sharp and it'd be awesome to get 1979 up to similar quality. Those late 1970s sets are awesome and I appreciate that they're still relatively affordable (though $200 is still a lot of money in our household).

Stingray

Wow, anyone goiong to bid on this one:

Bosox1976

Hard to believe he got the 10 with the bow cut.

If anybody is interested, I posted a few nice 76's last night, including a PSA 9 Dave Cash. Here's a Link.
