It will be interesting to see what it goes for, Wish I had the coin.
I'm looking to buy a house, so whatever I get will help!

why such a high starting bid?
start low, generate interest...
why not ship it registered mail?
<< <i>More than $5,000! >>
Well, its more than $5001.

I think hidden reserves hinder an auction more than they protect an auction - just my humble opinion.
Mike,
You have a great set - let it run!! You will attract many more bidders and realize a greater profit. Good luck!

Probably true, but prices on ebay can fluctuate wildly and if it ends at 8K instead of 10K, who will make up the difference? It's easy for us to say let it run, but when it's you who has the serious investment into the product, I can understand why Mike listed the auction the way he did.

Fair point - nobody likes to be exposed for that kind of coin. But why not disclose the reserve?

I understand your point there, but if you're going to disclose your reserve, why not just start the auction off at that price?

Been asking myself that one for years.
<< <i>If I would start the auction at the reserve price, It would probably turn many people away right from the start. Also, if the set doesn't sell, I will find out what the set is really worth, and then decide if I want to sell it for that price or keep on upgrading it. >>
Let's not confuse the issue here with rational thought, Mike. My point is that you do not get a true picture of its market value with the hidden reserve depressing bidding. That's only good if you agree that is does depress bidding.
Mike, would you please turn on your pm. Thanks, john.
edited to change Mikey to Mike - sorry about that - I confused you with another poster.
I always wondered why someone wouldn't sell the entire set as individual card auctions instead of the whole set together. I would figure you would make more cash. I realize you would spend more in fees, but the profit should more than cover that difference, especially with the huge chance that someone would over bid on several hard-to-find graded commons. If I had the scratch I would buy that set just to part it out.
I can finally see why someone would collect that set though, they look mighty fine in the PSA slab!
Good Luck Mike!
But seeing how u still are bidding and winning over the past few weeks, for example, cards like, #380 Sal Bando PSA 9 (for: $50), #377 Tom Hilgendorf PSA 9 (for: $31), and I see u recently won a PSA 8 Terry Hughes for $41 !!!!
My point here, Mike, u are hooked ("hook, line and sinker!"), like the rest of us set builders and unless u get top dollar for your "ever growing", "forever being upgraded" wonderful set, u will just wind up keeping it, ...and somehow, still find a way to "do your house thing".
Let's face it, when u bid and won that PSA 8 Hughes card for $41, every single registry set builder that is reading this, can "feel your pain"!
My spin. Cancel auction, find another way to raise some cash for you house, and continue to build your "world class" 1975 Topps set.
Whatever u do, wish u the best!

You'll maximize the selling price and won't have to worry about the reserve, as it will most always sell well above any Ebay price.
Even with paying a juice to the auction house....
The reserve price is $9250
Good luck bidding!
