Are 1964 Topps Giants ok for the tallboy special?

Sorry to be obtuse, never graded them. How about postcards?

I would think so, but probably best to call.

yup.

Ditto on the yup...

Bosox1976 · September 12, 2006 12:39PM

Postcards too?

Standard size postcards as well, yep

any idea what a mid-grade GRADED set would sell for? i didn't see any complete sets on the bay.

ExMint about $250-300.
A set in PSA 8 went for about 2K recently, a set in PSA 9 didn't hit the 6K reserve, but was broken up for more than that a year ago. Prices are softer now, except in PSA 9/10 due to a new buyer. I think he was NARU'd though, so they may have settled back.

griffins thanks. i was thinking a set in a lower grade (overall 5 on average). i've got a set that would fall into this category and i was debating grading them. i've had this set a long time and would like to see it in a slab, but i may be able to purchase one graded cheaper than it would cost me to grade my set at the current grading special.

Thanks fellas. Looks like this will actually be a fruitful special for me after all.

I don't think anything 7 or under is worth grading. Common 8's probably wouldn't be worth it either. Better to buy already graded.

I suggest that any 1964 Giant that won't grade at PSA 8 (except maybe Mantle) won't be worth the grading fees if that is a concern.

Raw sets can be had for ~$250 I believe.
