78 Baseball Vending

Greetings,

Long time forum lurker finally have a question or need some input.

Long story (yada yada yada), I just found my 78 Topps vending case (with rookies & most stars pulled no Murray, Molitor, Ryan, Rose etc)

A few thousand cards had to be put aside due to various damage over the years. Which leaves with roughly 8,000 undamages vending box quality cards, I did a quick pass pulled 16 Munsons (he must have a common 20 some years ago). I put a few oif these out of Ebay to help pay for the submissions I hopefully going to do. I planning on keeping 2,000 of these when all is said and done along with the rest of my raw 78 set.

But here is where I am stuck, where do I start? I am sitting scratching my head trying figure out a game plan.

I have 10 71 Topps I was going to send in this weekend, but want to tack on 4-5 of these with the latest special.

Any input would be helpful

Thanks

    Submit a few first and see it the results are what you are after.

    Welcome!

    I'd send in the low population cards to pay for the venture - the 78 topps thread on the registry board will name all of the toughies for you.

    There are a couple of real hard ones -- most other 78's don't bring much in 8 or 9, so they need to truly be 10-ish to be worth a shot (and even 10's aren't worth a fortune).

    You might do well with crisp team sets on the B/S/T board here.

    Vending does not yield many 10s due to soft corners, so you may be wasting your money submitting most of what you're planning on. I'd find 20 cards you think have a legit shot at PSA 10 and submit those just to get an idea of the results you can expect.

    If you have any 1978 Terry Forsters that you send in and come back as PSA 9, I'm very interested! image

    The tough 78's to submit even for a 9 are Terry Forster, Johnnie Lemaster is the toughest of them all Pop 5 in PSA 9, Jackson Todd, Rennie Stennett, Vern Ruhle and Chris Speier. Another very low Pop card in 9 is the Reds Team card.

    Some other commons that are worth submitting as a 9 are Bob Watson, Mickey Rivers, Dave Parker, Denny Doyle, Ron Cey. Probably missed a few but this list a start. Good luck.
