I had a Dick Williams grade a 9 and it suprisingly sold for over $450 earlier this year. You really do have some big money in those 9's. Which ones are low pops?
Great to see someone excited about getting fantastic grades.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
AM I MISSING SOMETHING?? how do cards get more perfect then these?? what do you need to do to get a 10?? these 8's all look perfect... Ron... are these grades what you were thinking?? sometimes pictures lie
Good question. Some of these have very slight (and I mean VERY slight) corner wear, which explains the 8's. But the 9's are just gem. no chipping on the backs (all green, I should have posted back scans because on the 9's there is NO chipping they're as green as green can be). There might be a 9 or two that could warrant a 10, but for the most part I'm happy with the grades. I thought I'd get some 9's but I didn't know I'd get this many.
Stay classy,

Here's the last one of the night. The rest will be posted during Monday Night Football tomorrow.......football is the ONLY thing that has allowed me to space this out this weekend. Otherwise it would've taken me about 30 seconds to go through these boxes.

Collecting Minnie Minoso Master and Basic 1967 Topps PSA 8+ 1960's Topps run Mega Set "For me, playing baseball has been like a war and I was defending the uniform I wore, Every time I put on the uniform I respected it like the American flag.

Great thread...in fact I think it was your note earlier that inspired me to try the same thing on my submission. I love the live wax breaks on some of the other sites so a live PSA break is just as good if not better. I sent my submission in and gave my wife the info and told her to not tell me the sub # unless an issue arose. I plan to do the same live break on the boards as you're doing along with scans as I think it's a great way to share the experience with other fans of the hobby. Mine's a big 240 card submission of vintage FB (67, 68 Topps and 65 Philly) that I can't wait to bust but as it's only been a couple weeks I probably have at least a month or two to go. Thanks for sharing your sub with us and the scans look great!
By the way, did you ask for no qualifiers as some of the centering on a few look close and since I asked that on my submission (for the first time) I wondered if you had also done this?
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
Some of those 8's look like solid 9's to me!! Those last two LDR cards though--The first one, my eye is going to the top L and R of the card for possible corner wear. The one below it, my eye is going to the bottom L of the card and B/T on the R side of the card for possible corner wear. I would have hoped for 8's but would not have been shocked by 7's. Of course, the cards aren't in front of me either so this subject to change. This was well worth your wait. Great job on the sub far.
Nothing like submitting your own cards and getting this type of result. Just curious, do you feel that you used a more critical eye on this sub than you have on other subs? Or, is it that the quality of these cards was so great? Whatever the reason, you have some real beauties! Great job, and thanks for the great thread.
Robert - to answer your question was both. I knew these cards were blazing when I bought them, but I went through what I bought and carefully culled out the best. (Ask Flintboy how hard I am on cards.) I bought about 70 and these were the best. Some I knew were "only" 8's (e.g. the Maloney) but I wanted them graded anyway. Little surprised to see the 7's. The first few HOF'ers (Banks, Stargell, Marichal) were not part of the lot I bought. I already had those.
And the rest are coming up soon!

Mike - I would love to know that. I think the Mantle was o/c. I also bought the Yaz and the Mays out of it, and sent them in separately. I love the crisp white borders on these.....I have some nice 67's, but these just put the others to shame.

Great sub! The 1967 set is one of my favorites. Gotta love when you get a run of 9s. I think the diamond cut (centering) got you on the league leader PSA 7s. But they are sweet cards. Congrats!
