After picking up a nice lot of 9's, I've pushed my way over the 50% hump. Currently 51.97%
But, more importantly, I've past (When I was seventeen it was a very good year) into 7th on the current finest list. My set GPA isn't as high as I would like it to be (8.54), but I'm within my goal range (8.5-9.0). I may upgrade my goal GPA range to (8.75-9.0), but for now I'm happy with the set.

77 sure is a great set. I collect all-star cards from 75 thru 80 but the 77s are certainly my favorite. I have all 18 in PSA 9 or better as it stands now (5 PSA 10s). I would like to one day have all the 77 all-stars in 10, if possible.
I think I am going to set up a 77 AS set in the Collector's Showcase, if I figure it out that is. I haven't registered a set or anything to this point. Good luck with all of your efforts!!!!
Yikes, Munson, and "Bird" would run you in the thousands in psa 10. What you have now is pretty amazing! My fav is the Brett. I just love the colors of that card.
Post some scans if you get a chance.

I will do so. I hear ya on the cost. It's just a dream...but maybe one day. I currently have Brett, Lynn, Jones, Foster, and Luzinski in PSA 10. I will see about scanning in a couple in the near future. I can't imagine the difficulty doing an entire set is. Some of you guys' collections are flat-out nuts.
I am pretty sure that I can hook you up with a really nice PSA 7 Rose and Brett but I'll have to check at the house later.
Estil, it looks like I dumped my 77 PSA 7 Rose and Brett. I apologize for the misinformation. I honestly think I gave them to a coworker's boy. However, all is not lost. I did find a nice 75 Fisk in PSA 7. Shoot me your address and I will send it to you ASAP. This one's on me. Bobby
You're very observant, David...I've been focusing on my 1967 set...only 30 cards to go there. I haven't forgotten about my 77, though! I'll be back at it later in the year, I guess...unless I see something real cheap that I need.
I just picked up a 77 Leflore in PSA 10. I am now one-third of the way to my goal of owning all 77 Topps All-Stars in PSA 10. I certainly realize that this isn't nearly as tough as what most of you guys are doing (but still incredibly tough for me)! Just an FYI and a little personal celebration. Plus, someone needed to bump this thread back to the top!
bobbybaker, I just sent you a PM regarding that 1975 PSA 7 Carlton Fisk; hope I'm not too late!
And I guess I might as well put up my upgrade list (raw NRMT or better) as well just in case anyone here has some nice spares looking for a good home; my set could really use it (and I'm only eight PSA 7 graded cards away from having all the $8+ cards in graded form too!):

I'm not a 77 aficionado. Why is the Dwight Evans a low pop 9? Is centering a huge problem with this particular set or are there a ton of surface problems? Is it just this card? I'm doing a showcase Evans set for myself and his 73 Rookie, 74, 75, 76 were all easy to find in 9's and I got the 78 in a 10. I was really miffed to see the pop report on 1977 PSA 9.
From what I've seen it's excess print, and registry issues with this card. Combine that with the soft stock, and poor centering with all the 77's and it becomes a real tough card.

A couple of my latest additions. I have always really admired the Staub. My apologies to those who already saw these on the main board. I really enjoy this thread (though I know I am not remotely close to most of you guys in terms of my limited 77 collection). I think the vibrant colors and sharp framing that make this set distinctive also make it relatively tough.
Hey everyone. Just finished compiling the various 1977 O-Pee-Chee/Topps variations. Thought some of you completists (like me) would enjoy it. After all, there are some cards that weren't included in the Topps set.

Anything new happening, gents? I busted open a 77 Vending box (GAI 9) the other day with nothing great. No gradeable AS cards to speak of. There was a nice Ryan, Ryan RB, and Dale Murphy RC that I may submit in the near future. Several other commons that look the part as well (including a really nice Pinella). No well centered all-stars though. Disappointing for me. Oh well, it was fun. I will try again.

First attempt and second...
The first set I really bought a lot of packs for. The Brett is a huge favorite, as is the Lynn. I also love the Tony Perez and Catfish Hunter cards.
now was the statement needed?
those are super nice! I'm jealous.

I haven't seen you update that bad boy recently. What's up?
Or did I miss the update?
Bozgriz has been on the fast track since mid-year 07 , and will soon pass me if I don't start subing some cards.
Czar,
Sutter 10! WOW, now that's got to be sweet. Nice pickup.

Man your All-Star set looks sweet in those black bordered SGC holders. Good stuff.

I'm doing All-Stars from 1975 to 1988, with SGC from 75 to 80 and the rest PSA. I'd like to see PSA put All-Star sets & I'd register them.
