    The individual Team HOF sets. Why are they weighted with all of the cards at one (1)???

    << <i>The individual Team HOF sets. Why are they weighted with all of the cards at one (1)??? >>



    Probably the same reason the Broncos HOF set lists Tony Dorsett, and the Packers HOF set does NOT list Len Ford....Do the math, I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion that I have...lol

    In the interest of trying to make sense of things, Cosetta fixed both the Broncos and Jets HOF team sets today. To reflect the actual Pro Football HOF website concerning players/coaches who were SIGNIFICANT contributors to a specific team and removing the one year wonder guys like Tony Dorsett from the Broncos and Art Monk from the Jets...Now all the TEAM HOF sets are true Team HOF sets.

    Kudos to Cosetta, still the one bright and shining example of common sense in Newport Beach...lol

    If someone were willing to put together spreadsheets using SMR values for each set and send to PSA, I'm pretty sure they would implement the grade weights. I don't and won't have time until maybe August.

    This thread is dying. So I will post my latest. A pop of only 4.
    Special thanks to Andy for subbing some cards for me. I did get some nice grades on a few things I will offer to fellow members on some
    other stuff. This card was just lying around in a SGC holder for years.

    Outstanding card! Let me know whatcha got for the extras.

    Awesome looking Ford, was it a 9 in the SGC holder? Also, in regards to your comment, I must admit it's tough to get excited about football with what's happening right now. I guess $9 Billion isn't enough to divide!!

    Well, I have to say that I don't necessarily agree with deleting these players.

    Take the Chargers for instance. John Unitas, Deacon Jones and John Mackey played for the Chargers and are in the HOF. Most importantly, they appeared on cards as Chargers (Unitas in 1973/74 Topps, Jones 1972/73/74 Topps and Mackey 1973 Topps); therefore, I feel they should be represented in the Chargers HOF team set. Now, if a player did not appear on a card with a particular team; for instance, if Franco Harris did not appear on a card as a Seahawk, then he should not be in the Seahawks' HOF team set. If however, he did appear on a card as a Seahawk, then he should be in their HOF team set.

    Edited to add:

    The one stipulation I would make is that if the player is included in the team's set, then their first card with that team should be the one reflected in the set. For instance, if the Chargers HOF team set requires rookie cards of each player, their first card with the Chargers should be the one for the set. It's always bugged me that with the All-Time Chargers set for instance, I need the Topps 1977 Chuck Muncie and the 1980 Wes Chandler, when these cards show them as Saints. The set should have the Topps 1981 Muncie and 1982 Chandler cards, since those are their first cards as Chargers.

    dave. No offense at all. Just kidding. I am glad 2 c nice cards put up by fellow members.
    It's not often the holly grail get seen in a high grade for that card.

    Here is a dissapointment. This card was in a holder that doesn't do neg qual. Just wanted a straight crossover.
    I thought PSA would be a little lenient as I own many straight non qualif with more gum marks than this.

    Front is a beaut. Now the bad part.

    That's too bad Jay, I would hardly say it detracts from the overall card, great centering. I've never really cared what the back of the card looks like anyway, who looks at the back!!

    Doc
  • jay0791jay0791 Posts: 3,526 ✭✭✭✭
    I agree. Have many that have the stains on the back and the grade wasn't affected.
    Is this worth a resub? Problem is I'm not a psa member and have to ship to and from.
    PSA also did this with a 54 j Christensen with even less stains. The values get absolutely crushed.
    I am not really complaining as I did agree with 90% of the total sub.

    If anyone is interested in the atkins let me know.

    Steve, the Pro Football HOF defines SIGNIFICANT contributers to individual franchises. The HOF team sets are comprised of those significant contributers from each team. Not of any player who ever played a game for a franchise.

    As far as the cards go, those sets are ROOKIE CARD sets, therefore, the cards you have identified would not fit. As they are not rookies. Players change teams, now more often than ever. But rookie cards and how they are defined I have not seen those change.

    Steve,

    If you want only cards with the players in the chargers unis' then start a new set like we did for the Packers HOF. Note this is not the Packers in Canton...this the Packers own HOF memebers. We made the set where the cards are either RC's or first card in a Packer uniform (for those that had cards with other teams before joining the Packers).

    All,

    I have decided to sell my graded card collection except for my Dan Marino cards. Over the past 5 years, my focus has shifted to autographed vintage football cards and I have built a pretty substantial collection. I want to focus all of my energies on my autographed cards and will begin to sell off my graded cards to fund my autographed card collection. You can click a link to my sets below - and please PM or e-mail me at montooth13 at yahoo.com with any questions or offers. Please be fair in your offers and I will cover shipping costs.

    Thanks and good luck in your collections.

    Moved up three spots in a week to 32nd on the current list. I had two sales with Gregm12 and Jay0791. I now have 62.26% with a Faulk on the way. And I have a PSA 5.5 Pete Pihos coming too. I want to trade that for other cards I need so I will be posting that soon when it arrives.

    Picked up

    1954 BOWMAN DOUG ATKINS 8ST - Nicest stained card you will ever see
    1970 TOPPS LEM BARNEY 8
    1970 TOPPS TOM MACK 8
    1971 TOPPS JOE GREENE 7 One of the nicer 7's I have seen
    1972 TOPPS GENE UPSHAW 8
    1975 TOPPS MEL BLOUNT 8
    1976 TOPPS JACK LAMBERT 8
    1979 TOPPS OZZIE NEWSOME 8 (upgrade from my 7)

    The next steps up the ladder are big ones. I am rated at 2.88 and the next guy up is 3.03 and then the next guy is 3.35. So, it looks like I won't crack the top 30 for a good year or so.
