Just an update for all you 72 collectors who watched me spend the last 5 yrs or so finishing off that baby in 9/10...Im almost 15% of the way there in the 71s. Mark my words, it will be done, it may take me another 5 years, but it will be done.

    That'd be one of the great set accomplishments of all time.

    Anyone that finishes that set in a "9" deserves lifetime PSA membership, lifetime free submissions and some kind of metal of honor... image

    I maybe interested in selling this, if the price was right. 1 of 3 9's no 10's (looks oc) but it is shifted in the holder.

    email me at eolander@yahoo.com on the 71 Oliva...maybe we can work out a deal. Thanks.

    Good luck on that set, not sure how much unopened material is out there but there are some low pop 9s with no 10s. When completed this will be a one of a kind set.

    Eric> I'm not nearly as familiar with the 71s as I am with the 72s. How many 71s have PSA9 NQ pops of 5 or less?

    No chance, zilch, impossible, the pop report proves it. Stop kidding yourself, the 1972 set is pretty easy in that grade but no one wants it anyway which is perhaps the reason.

    That's kinda funny to even think about that the more I think about it!image

    assume you mean weighted GPA of 9. not impossible but highly unlikely unless you have a ton of disposable income and there are a lot of gem mint or mint ungraded cards out there.

    I'll gladly take a Blyleven 9 if anyone has one lying around image
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    In EO's defense, a lot of people said the same thing when he started the 72 set with a goal of all-PSA9 NQ.

    Between me and Greg Foster bidding these things up, more people will submit and pops will go up...it will be done, but I love having skeptics.

    Ive got th Blyleven, sweet card but I dont think anything compares to the 71 Munson, it is one of my favorite cards of all time!

    That's exactly the reason why all of us '71 members are rooting for you. As more people submit, lower grade PSA 8's will become more plentiful as well and we can add them to our sets.

    ain't gonna happen, but, wish you all the luck in the world. I think you should qualify for the HOF ballot since no MLB player will be elected in the next ten years or so!

    Pop report shows 90 cards with only one card graded 9 or higher and 42 cards with 0 graded 9 or higher. It will be tough, good luck.

    and, how many have 1 or 2, who owns them, and what will it cost to get them? prohibitive. only hope is ungraded cards flooding the market.

    anything can be done if you have enough money. i am guessing you are planning to buy your way to the top instead of having raw cards graded so you could make some of the higher set registry owners offers that they cannot pass up.

    i am no expert on the 1971 or 72 set. but looking at the numbers it is mixing apples with oranges. I did a little research on the difficulty of every set from 1960-72. the 1971 with it's high number of cards in the set mixed its low % of 9's and 10's out of all graded cards looks to be very tough. no one can say how much wax is left out there or how much nice ungraded raw is waiting to be sent to psa. i guess you could look for other respectable grading company's and get a few crossovers as well.

    on a personal note i am a big collector of the 1966 set. these numbers concern me about that set. the lowest amount graded out of the 13 years. chronologically it is right in the middle is it that unpopular with collectors? (palmer and jenkins are the only top rookies) or is there a lot out there waiting to be graded? or perhaps is it more difficult to find gradeable stuff. PSA has been around long enough with the registry that i would guess that the percentage of nice stuff from all years has been graded on a consistent basis. i could not see someone sitting on a particular year of vintage quality raw but who knows.

    I do not think I would go so far as to say the goal is impossible or will never be done. I do think, however, it will take a lot of time, money and effort and in the process, will be a very, very difficult task. I would like to hear EO's gameplan-- just buy graded singles or submit some raw cards? If submitting raw, any big raw purchases coming up? I know Larry Fritsch has some 71 vending that has been discussed before on the boards; plans to buy some of that? If that is part of the plan, doing a break on that for the board would be a treat in and of itself.

    I think more cards are out there, they just need to be submitted. Just consider this: as of today, the population report lists 513 Nolan Ryan as the most submitted card by far; 1921 cards submitted. Of those, approximately 1000 are straight 7s or better (7 used as the measuring point for cards that should be graded in this issue). Now the number are not going to be the same on all cards and all series, but if 1000 Ryans can hit that plateau, it seems reasonable to assume that all other cards can increase their numbers across the board as well just because the numbers have not been submitted. Of course, there will be some toughies (i.e., 536 Claude Raymond comes to mind off hand), but I have to believe some quality cards still exist. Maybe as others have suggested paying strong prices for 9s and 10s will pull these other cards out of the woodwork. I would therefore not say the task is an impossible one.

    Good luck and keep us posted. Again, sharing the basics of your game plan with us observers like myself would be interesting.

    Good Luck, I hope you do it! Remember Ron Ritt put together a 1968 set with something like 500 10's in it. He had just about every card you can have in its highest grade possible. It will be tough but money can make it happen.

    Do you have any '71 PSA 8's available? I have several
    1971 PSA 9 cards and would consider downgrading if
    an attractive offer was presented.

    If I had 8s I'd have to change my name to eonrmt-mt...and that just doesnt sound as good image

    Anyhow, Id certainly entertain purchasing your 9s if ud sell them outright. I posted my email before, eolander@yahoo.com.

    What is the game plan? Simple. I dont plan on buying raw and submitting, though maybe I'll change my mind on that...basically I dont have the time for that, I barely have the time to do this as it is, so I will be buying all graded. Now I know some of u will say that takes the fun out of it or Im just buying my way to the top, but it really doesnt matter to me. What matters to me is putting together the finest 71 set on the planet. If I need to buy some vending or wax later on so be it.

    The money isnt an issue, Ive already overpaid for several low pops. But u dont get to 15% complete in 9 in a month or so by pinching pennies now do you?
