These proofs are very scarce and make great additions to type set collections, HOF collections, and player collections.
PSA will slab these as authentic!
Feel free to make me some offers folks!
Thanks!
Hey Keith! It's been too long.
We talked about these ages ago. Always wondered how those cards came out. I'll give you $75 for the whole lot, less if you show any more hack jobs
Kidding aside, those didn't come out so bad...they look great and the prices are right. When these rare cards show up as singles on ebay (once in a blue moon) they are usually wayyy off centered with dings. This is holds true with the bottom of the sheet cards...a fraction off at the start messes up each new row more and more.
I ended up going with GAI, who was the only one grading them at the time. Really not sure if any other company will give them a number grade now? The set 66 card set got a 8.8 GPA. Nailed the Ryan with a Gem Mint and most key cards with 9's on up. The two other sets are equally cut as nice and have been in binders for years.
Nonetheless, collectors here should be jumping on these...especially the player collectors. They really are super tough, even more so in the condition you are offering!
