in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
Hello everyone. First post here. I am trying to complete my 1966 topps baseball set and I am about 40 cards short. All high numbers of course. I was wondering if anyone here has any cards from this year they are selling. I am looking for mostly high grade cards.

    I am going to a local weekend only flea market tomorrow. One booth there is all cards and he has a lot of NRMT commons for cheap. Send me a list and I will see what I can find.

    How about posting the list of cards that you need here. That way, everyone can get a look vs. having to send e-mails / PMs on an individual basis.

    I'd be happy to look to see if I have any.

    do you need them centered?
  • whitesoxmikewhitesoxmike Posts: 167
    Would be nice...but a little OC would be ok
  • theczartheczar Posts: 1,590 ✭✭
    not to be a smart aleck, but what are you expecting to pay for a high # common is nr-mt?

    I wouldn't waste my time with this guy...he posted that he needed some high numbers and I responded saying I might have some.

    I got back to him and said I had a couple, but would have to dig them out and scan them the next morning. I did as I said, and sent him nice scans of #555 Perranoski and #556 Queen both that were Near Mint and very tough cards. I guess he didn't like the prices, because he didn't even have the decency to say no thanks, the cards suck, your prices are too high or whatever.

    How is this.. No Thanks...trying to charge $25.00 for a Mel Queen. I picked it up on Ebay NRMT slightly off Centered for $15.00 so in answer to your question...I guess I would want to pay a FAIR price Item number: 110206620922

    Merry Christmas to all,
    I don't know much in this world but I don't think there are many that know more than me about the 1966 set. i have built that set twice in my life and on my third attempt have now passed the 80% mark in psa 9 or 10. i have 57 10's from that set. not bragging just sharing my background on it.

    I could tell you 2/3 of the players card numbers without thinking hard.

    Some of those high numbers like the hoerner rookie, perranoski and grant jackson rookie are just plain hard to find in any condition. i sold each of mine in a psa 5-6 range for over $50 each.

    mel queen is another difficult card.

    i have a lot of your needs whitesoxmike, but the world of raw cards can get ugly. what you consider in one condition i may consider in another and there seems to always be raw collectors who think that since the card is not graded they should get it on the cheap.

    i guess my question before we go any futher is why don't you want graded cards? they remove a lot of doubt about the condition, authenticity and qualifer status.

    Thanks

    Mike...despite what the auction said, you bought a EX/Mint card for $15.83 + $2.50 shipping or $18.33. A NM Queen will go for $25 all day long. Here are the pics from the one you bought. I looked at the super size scans of the auction and the card has FOUR touched corners, the front centering is too bad for NM, and the back centering is 95/5...not NM.

    The card you bought is ex-mt at best if the spot on his left arm isn't paper loss and the scratches are on the scanner, not the card. I didn't see the card Jeff offered you, but $25 is cheap for near mint.

    I also don't know the seller, but if he sends cards to psa and that card was NRMT (centering is 29/71 within guidelines for a psa 7) why didn't he send it in? He seems to know what he's doing, he has great feedback and nice cards.
