Very sweet 72's. I have 5 complete sets (in varying grades from one being NM+ to one being VG), and 2 partial sets with over 650 cards in each, so I can safely say that it is my favorite set as well.

Those are some real beauties. Upgrading my '76 set will be my next big project. I hope I can find some that look as sweet.

If you are talking about the one I have, then Yes it is psa/dna certified insead of encapsulated, it has the sticker ad COA on the back. I heard it was from his early playing days.

That 76 Ontiveros card is really cool. I sorta wish he had been an all-star that year!

Brett, you need to stop killing me with those 1972's. I have about 15 or 20 going in to PSA on the special, so here are are a few of those.

HOTNESS!

did you crack any of these out of slabs or all raw(ly) acquired?

i incidentally thought about pursuing '72, but simply too massive of a set & too giant of an investment for me.

some 73's

nam812

Nice 73 All Stars and HOFers J. Damn that print line on the blazing Clemente.

julen23

the essence of compromise.

1- nicely centered pd-free psa 8 for $50+
2- nicely centered pd-ish psa 8 for $20

cardboard economies of scale

J, My '72's are a mixed bag. About 20% are remnants of the set I built in 1972 when I was 8 yrs old. The rest are upgrades that I've bought over the years. About half of the upgrades are raw buys, and half were cracked out of PSA slabs. That 787 card behemeth is simply too large for me to tackle in all-PSA.
By the way, your 1973's are absolutely gorgeous. I have a very nice '73 set myself, but I would be hard pressed to match the overall quality of your beauts.

Nick, from the look of your '72's you don't have to take a back seat to anyone. They are very nice.

TJMAC

Great looking 72's and 73's. I would imagine the 1972 set in PSA would be a real bear, especially with the high numbers. I bought just 30 of the top cards from the set PSA graded and that took long enough.

Sweet 72 Munson Brett.

<< <i>Sweet 72 Munson Brett. >>



Thanks, Nick. That's one of the few holdovers from when I was a kid. I can't believe it has survived all the years of abuse and many changes of address.

julen23

do you have all your '72s posted online somewhere?

i'd like to see the entire set.

J,
No, not posted anywhere. I was pretty excited last week when my son taught me how to post scans here. I've been hungering for a way to share my cards with others ever since I started collecting in 1970. Neither of my 2 brothers, nor any friends, nor my 2 sons have ever shown the slightest interest in cards. My wife, god bless her for being the tolerant woman that she is, also couldn't care less about my cards. I will gladly scan some more and PM them to you so as not to hog all the thread space.

Upgrading is a never ending process, so there are still a dozen or 2 cards with which I'm not satisfied. With that in mind, please PM me if you want to see scans of any particular card or cards, or subset, or group, or whatever. I love sharing 'em.

I have a very attractive and fit 35 year old wife that I would gladly trade for yours. I do not care what she looks like. She can even be a little off centered with round corners.

Thanks for the offer, but mine is a definite keeper. We've been married a mere 22 years now. I'm shooting for 75. I figure that if Bob & Mrs. Hope could do it, so can we.

Latest pickups for my sets:

'71s never look good in a scan btw so don't sweat small stuff.

'71 seaver tough card to find in that condition, nice cardboard.

Brett, those 71s are fine, not much different than what I have.I was able to pick up quite a few NM+ specials and highs this Spring but since I already had most of the stars when I worked on this set in the 1980s, I am content to leave them as is.

Thanks, Steve. I'm such an insecure person in all respects, why should my belief in the quality of my cards be any different? I tell ya, it's tough being me.

Here are a few that are headed for Newport Beach soon.

Nice Ryans Nick, did you cut them yourself? I think it was you who did well ( PSA 10's? ) with your last batch of these right?

Brett - Besides all of them being garbage I believe that they all had sons play in the majors too.

Edited to add: Leron Lee is the uncle of Derrick Lee.

Edited again to add: The Murtaugh manager card features Bob Skinner who had a kid in the majors, not Murtaugh.
