1965 Collectors Club Forming

The title says it all - this is the kickoff of the 65 topps collectors club. We will be significantly different from our 1972 counterparts. Instead of a website - we will be offering cash signing bonuses for new members anywhere from $5,000 and up. We are also planning 1965 strategic planning meeting at all major conventions in hotel penthouses with free food and drink. If you put up good stats as a 65 collector there will always be the possibility of a long term contract (with a no trade clause). BTW - free 1965 Mickey Mantle Psa 9's to the first 5 members!image

Proud to be a 65 collector

PS - Vargha, can I talk to you about a small loan?

    I think the official response from the "72 Club" will be -

    Ours is bigger than yours image
    (our set that is)

    *HUGE laughs*

    So full of action, my name should be a verb.

  • Hey Mike,

    It's not the size of the set that counts - it's how you use them.

    The 1951 Bowman collectors club is now forming. We will not talk to each other. We will only pay SMR for PSA cards and not a penny more. They are a minimum of 3x SMR if you want to buy them from us. The first five members will get a free VG/EX Sam Mele card with 80/20 centering all the way around. As a benefit of membership, we will track all auctions you bid on and get into price wars with you. Hurry, as space is limited!
  • Hmmm, free food and drink?

    I might just start collecting 65's for that perk.

    besides all the 1972 guys offered was a two-for-one coupon at McDonalds............

    mike - you've gone too far. Now I'll have to start up the 1990 Pro Set football and 1992 Score baseball collectors clubs. Our sets will always be bigger than yours - and we'll have plenty of them to show you.
    We're even starting a clubhouse for the clubs, and the furniture will be made entirely out of unopened boxes from the sets.

  • Hey Footballdude,

    As founder of the club I'm only waiting on my Vargha loan to start the $5000 bonuses.

    Comparison chart:
    1972 Topps PSA 8 common


    Value: $12 to $20
    Use: look at it, fill in hole in graded set
    How to sell: use eBay, advertise as 1972 Topps PSA 8 [player name and card number]
    Best outcome: no more PSA 8s of this card are ever graded, and it becomes a leading population rarity
    Chance of that: Slim and none




    1992 Score baseball wax case


    Value: $25 to $40
    Use: can serve as emergency end table (can be paired with another to form coffee table), open boxes to form about 20 sets of the particular series, hide your good cards behind it to throw off burglars, break it down to use boxes as emergency gifts for children, make really large house of cards
    How to sell: use eBay, advertise as 250 card lots from estate sale; donate to charity and claim value of Tuff Stuff high box price x20
    Best outcome: you open it and find several of the scarce HOF autographs
    Chance of that: Slim and none
