O-PEE-CHEE baseball set collectors

edmundfitzgerald · June 8, 2008 12:04AM

How are you guys doing on completing/continuing on with your sets ?
I've given up the challenge, but I'm sure some of you have not.
So what sets are you still working on ?
I know FB and texassportscollectibles(Jim) have completed the 71 and 72 sets, an amazing accomplishment to finish those graded.
Are most of you doing some graded, the rest raw ? Or are you still going for all graded sets ?

ledsters · June 8, 2008 2:20AM

I'm still working on my 1979 OPC Baseball set, although it has been a slow crawl in picking up 9s for this one.

NickM · June 8, 2008 8:31AM

I'm doing them raw and graded, although they're not high priorities with me.

Anyone have any extra 1977 OPC (Ex-Mt or better) to trade?

Here's what we need;

1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 12, 25, 30, 37, 42, 45, 49, 51, 62, 65, 69, 75, 87, 89, 93, 110, 111, 116, 118, 120, 122, 137, 143, 146, 147, 149, 150, 156, 163, 164, 170, 182, 183, 187, 200, 203, 204, 205, 208, 210, 217, 220, 227, 235, 237, 242, 245, 250, 255, 258, 261, 264

thank you,

I have been working on a '79 set for a long time.
Raw set in VG condition.
Most of the time people want to sell me PSA 9 versions.

ledsters · June 9, 2008 10:35AM

Hey Adrian,

I have some extra 1979 OPC nines for sale. They would look great in your VG set

FB · June 10, 2008 5:31AM

I did the 72 OPC as a companion piece to my 72 Topps set. Its actually enjoyable to try and find one card at a time for any sort of upgrade.
But I don't believe that I'll expand beyond that year.

Bkritz · June 10, 2008 8:12AM

I have psa 8s of 1980 OPC Sutton and Tommy John for $5 each delivered if anyone needs them. Just PM if you want them.

Brian

yankeeno7 · June 10, 2008 10:56AM

Im only doing raw sets.

Im still looking for a few 78s, 79s, 80s, 82s

77s I just way too many to get very serioud about them just yet. If any has any of the years Im working on in NM/MT please contact me!!! Raw only please except 1978 Munson or 1980 Ryan.

Thanks
Barry

DavidPuddy · June 10, 2008 11:18AM

I'm at about 70% on my 78 set and almost 33% on my 77 set.

<< <i>Hey Adrian,

>>

Ledsters,
I changed my mind.
I'm going to do a PSA 4 set. Any extras?

KalineFan · June 13, 2008 12:52PM

I'd like to apologize up front, but, I have PSA Graded 1965-1973 OPC stuff up on ebay now.

Since I am spamming, (again, I apologize) I will just say, look em up under joead97dp.

Ending Sunday night.

I want to also say, still looking for input for Joe for SMR for OPC Baseball 1966, 1967, 1968,
1970 and anything from 1973-77. Looking for people with very very good knowledge that
can honestly help with pricing to be included in the SMR sometime this year.

We already have people for 1965,1969 (ME!), 1971 and 1972.
Thanks!

Big80s · June 14, 2008 10:33PM

I've decided to focus on the smaller OPC sets from the 70's. I'm building graded '77-'79 sets. The '77s are tough. Great thread, by the way.

Big80s · June 14, 2008 10:37PM

BTW - has anyone else noticed that '77-'79 OPC Wax is really hard to come by these days? I remember when you could pick up boxes from BBCE not long ago for a very reasonable price. Now you have to fork over almost twice as much to less reputable dealers on eBay for the same product. What gives? Has OPC gotten hot?

FB · June 15, 2008 10:21AM

I don't know that I'd call OPC hot. I think that most dealers have had enough of selling OPC unopened material for a fraction of what Topps goes for. I've seen the same for 72 OPC. I picked up 6 complete Series 2 boxes for $900 apiece a few years ago. But, recently its been north of $1200 - $1500.

Thanks, Matt (gator005@hotmail.com)

mmync · June 19, 2008 3:34AM

I've never submitted o-pee-chee's before. Would any of these be worth sending in if I'm not building a set?

mmsportscards · June 19, 2008 4:21AM

some 9's reside, very nice! Tekulve for sure not (7). As for worth probably not unless you wanted to roll
the dice on a 10

Big80s · June 19, 2008 7:32AM

I like the scans you've got there. If you're trying to make some money - I'd say no. If you're building a high-grade set, I'd say definitely submit.

Do you have any extra 1980 OPCs? Im still about 30% away from my set.
Thanks

I finally was able to add this one to my Bench collection. The first psa 9 graded.

<< <i>I've decided to focus on the smaller OPC sets from the 70's. I'm building graded '77-'79 sets. The '77s are tough. Great thread, by the way. >>

There's a guy I know who has about 10 sets from vending in 1978 and 1979 opc. I haven't spoken to him in years, but I've seen his
stuff, and it is beautiful. His ebay ID is paoldguy. Just send him a message and he'll respond. He told me his set price is
120 for the 1978 and 85 for 1979. He is retired, so he may be in and out for a few days being that it's the summer, but I think he will eventually respond. You will most likely find quite a few 8,9 and 9 o/c cards in his sets. Perhaps even a 10 in there. They are that nice.

Big80s · July 9, 2008 12:37AM

I appreciate the heads-up!

fiveniner · July 10, 2008 11:53PM

I have a nice 1972 raw opee chee set probably ex/mt or better.

FB · July 11, 2008 12:31AM

Guys,

Don't worry about me if you're interested in fiveniner's 72 OPC set. Contact and see what you can work out. I've got other fish to fry these days.

Stingray · July 11, 2008 1:28AM

What is the toughest of the 90s OPC set, not Premier, to complete raw??

hotmush · July 11, 2008 2:25AM

I'm going to have to say 1991. Only because the collation was so bad you'd have to buy a ton of boxes just to get set and the factory sets are sometimes hard to find.
Second on that list is 1994 because of the full bleed borders that are prone to chipping and the lack of lined borders make it difficult to tell if the card is centered.

FB · March 11, 2009 10:01AM

Sorry guys - just a shamless plug (spam) that I've loaded a boatload of 72 graded (PSA 8 & 9) and raw O-PEE-CHEE on eBay. Thanks for looking.

hotmush · March 12, 2009 2:10AM

Well, thought I'd add to this since it got revived.
I am now pretty happy with my 77-94 run of OPC. All the sets are complete and minty fresh. Once I get out from under winter, I'm going to extend an offer to fill sets with the boxes of commons I have. If anyone is interested, PM me and I save the wantlists in a file.
Actually, because my OPC sets are where I want them (some day I'll start a 76 set and work backwards). I have been concentrating on the few oddball issues that were printed in Canada for the Canadian market. Stuff like the 1987 Hostess stickers and the 1992 Diet Pepsi set. It's been fun and inexpensive so far.
What I'm really having trouble with is the 1990 Fleer Printed in Canada set.
These cards are hard to come by in either unopened or common-lot form.
But I was excited to learn recently that a number of the 1990 Fleer mini-box sets (League Leaders, MVPs, etc) were printed in Canada and are noted on the backs as such.
I'm in the process of buying these up with eyes toward creating minty-fresh and centered set for the pages that will go with the 1990 Fleer Canadian pages.
If anyone has any of these 1990 Fleer Canadian cards, please let me know via PM.
That is all.

purduepete · March 12, 2009 5:51PM

fattymacs, that is a beautiful Clemente IA card - you should have no problems selling it!

Edited to add: Nevermind, it looks like you were able to sell that card fast!

FB · March 12, 2009 10:44PM

PuruePete,

All it takes to sell a card like that is to wave it out in front of a 72 OPC collector who is happy to be able to find one or two cards a month to add to his registry set. I was upset that my fingers wouldn't type any faster!!!!

Sure is a beauty!! I'll be the guy looking out the picture window in the front for the next week or so!!!

Rob - thanks for calling my attention to it!

CrimsonTider · March 25, 2009 5:59AM

I have started a 1983 OPC graded set, I only have 3 in it right now and they are all psa10. Two of them I subbed myself

DavidPuddy · March 25, 2009 6:04AM

83 OPC is a great set. Count the number of HOF players in that set.

Go ahead, count them. There's lots, and lots.

CrimsonTider · March 25, 2009 6:21AM

In the last group sub I submitted 1983 OPC Mike Schmidt and he came back in a 10. Was quite proud, since he is only the third to grade that high. My other two are 1 of 1's. Love the set and looking for some deals on some of the other 10's out there

Bkritz · March 25, 2009 1:15PM

I have a nm-mt 1977 OPC Semi-set sitting here. The ryan is mint but OC, as are many of the cards. Missing Carlton, Rice, Ryan RB, Fingers, and about 25 others. If anyone is interested PM me. $35 delivered. Again, the set is pack fresh for the most part, but has standard crappy OPC centering.
