1994 Simpsons Skybox/Bongo/Diamond promo apparently given away to dealers that pictures the Willy "The Dupe" Dipkin card. It varies from the standard Comic insert card.
<< <i>As a Yaz collector, easily the 1969 Topps Yaz in PSA 8 or better - tough card. As a Carlton Fisk collector, there are some low-pop commons (86/82) but the 74 has the lowest PSA 9% with more than 20 cards submitted. Luis Tiant's rookie and and 2nd year (65/66) are difficult in PSA 9 >>
The toughest card for me was this 1976 Venezuelan Winter League Sticker. According to the pop report, only 3 of the stickers from this entire set have been graded. There's a PSA 2 Paul Reuscel and a PSA 1 Dave Parker. Needless to say, I'm very pleased with my PSA 6.
Here's one I've searched for for 15 years. 1985-86 Provigo sticker Patrick Roy. I guess I should have bought the team set some years ago for $150 or something. The only two I've seen since are like this one: No backing on the reverse.
That '69 Yaz is sweet. Is that a recent sub? If not you may want to resubmit it. There would be a big difference in a PSA-8 and 8.5 in price my guess is.
First off,, that Tony Perez PSA-9 (RED) card is very nice !! thanks big M.
The 1970 Topps cloth McCovey,, a very nice find ! I`m looking at it and thinking "sheet cut" could there be others out there ?
When i was collecting Johnny Bench I bought this at a show, still in the Safelon lunch bag that contained 20 or so Safelon lunch bags. That was how the 1975 MSA blank backed test discs were distributed.
The PSA pop. report shows that 2 have been graded. Thats wrong, a couple years ago i cracked the slab and resubmitted , hoping for something better than PSA-1,,,, well it came back a PSA-1. So there has really only been 1 graded.
To this day i have never seen another one for sale, anywhere, anytime, by anybody. And i have also never seen the Tom Seaver disc, ever !
Nice Bench disc. Love the oddballs. Just got two more back in the mail today from PSA. I tried to get these slabbed a few years back and PSA did not slab them. I noticed a couple in the population report of other players so I thought I would try my luck. These were run as a series in the Dayton Daily Newspaper in 1970 and are all cut out of the newspaper and finding them in nice condition is tough. There is a regular and all star variation.
<< <i>For Jim Rice, the hardest card for me to find is the 1978 SSPC ALL STAR GALLERY HAND CUT card. The #1 guy in the registry has one, but other than his, I've never seen one. >>
I think it is because PSA does not always grade these cards. The card itself is not hardto find...but the few times I've submitted Carlton and Schmidt from this same set, they have only very sporadically graded it.
I automatically do not include cards that are not hard to find, but hard to find in PSA holders [e.g. like the 1984 Topps Nestle cards...of which I have all three primary cards of Schmidt] >>
I finally won this card this morning! It looks pretty OC, but I'm happy to have it even if it means I'll still be on the lookout for an upgrade. And the best thing was, I got it for about $112 less than the snipe I set for it!
The card in my sigline doesn't exist yet - but no one in their right mind should ever want one, anyway.
The 1979 Topps Dale Murphy PSA 10 is extremely hard to find and I will almost certainly get outbid by several people the next time it comes up.
And for whatever reason, despite the fact that there are legions of wasteful Yankee/Mattingly collectors and this is the most awful, overproduced set ever...it's basically impossible to find a 1988 Score (regular) PSA 10 Don Mattingly.
