How tough is this set in 8 or better?
In the spirit of broadening my collecting focus (and take a little break from 49 Bowman) was considering this set. It's a purrrrty set if you ask me. I had a Winfield #51 PSA that I just sold yesterday... but I wish I kept it.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Twinkies?

I put it together completely from opening packs back in '84.
I still have it in a binder.

Looking to sell?

I agree. With my limited "modern" experience, this is defintely the best looking set.
Alan, the set is not overly tough in PSA 8 if you take your time. Even in 9s you can piece together a set in a decent timeframe (heck, I've got probably 50 or 60 8s and 9s available for sale/trade).
But, if you're looking for 50/50 centering with these....you're going to have a rough time. The centering is poor on lots of cards and you can check the breakdown of some of the toughies (lots of cards without a 10 even graded yet).
Here's the link to our thread. 1984 Donruss Official Thread...Enjoy!
By the way, I have one factory set left if anyone is interested at $140 delivered. PM me or e-mail me at SCMAuctions@aol.com if interested.

First, since this is the first time that we've spoken since the "teknobailey" debacle... I apologize for everything the birthday thread, it's a great thing you've got there.
Second.. I'm DEFINITELY interested in your spare 8's... how much for the lot? Any photos you can share?
If the 8's work out to be a ton of loot, then I'll take your factory set. This way I'll just wait for some $5 specials, and have it graded myself.
Thanks a ton my friend!

Alan, no need to apologize. It's in the past.
As far as the spare 8s, take a look at my 'trade/sell' set on this link....ArnyVee's Sell/Trade Set....then, when you decide what you are interested in, I can give you a fair deal. Don't worry boys, I won't rake him across the coals.....too much

<< <i>Quick math at $5 per card and 660 cards in the set - you are looking at over 3 grand just in grading fees. Buying cards vice submitting would be the wise choice; JMHO. >>
You bring up an excellent point.
Maybe I'll start with Arny's duplicates and work on just buying graded lots.
Arny, I'll take a look later today. It's shaping up to be a pretty busy day here at work!!
As WH mentioned, even at the lowest of "specials" that PSA runs, it's still over $3K just to have the set graded and HOPE that you pull 9s or better.

<< <i>Unless you have absolutely stunning cards to submit, I would buy them already graded to start with. Then, you can start to pick up singles here and there or sets to pull certain cards that you want to submit to complete the thing.

Good call man. I'll definitely start with a graded lot.
Off to a meeting! I'll check your stuff later today :-)
