y, unfortunately i dont need any of those cards if you can believe it! like i said, this last 15% is gonna be a tuff stretch...makes the 72 set i did seem easy.
A set break of the the #1 registry set has just been listed on eBay. Looks like EO's set is about to become even more incredible. Every time I see it climb the registry ladder I just don't know what to say........only WOW !!!!

So, 3 of the top registry sets have been/are being auctioned off over the past 2 months, is that right? Bussineau, Memory Lane, and now the one on eBay? Interesting...
I am breaking my 71 set this week on Ebay. I finally managed to sneak in ahead of Spence, thought that was a good time to retire it and move on to another challenge. Plenty more 9's for Eric to pick up.
From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo. ~WalterSobchak
<< <i>Guess I won't be auctioning mine anytime soon with so many going on the block this summer. Took me 9 years to complete in all PSA 8's...
Haven't checked where I am on the registry lately. I was 8th last I looked - stu's 71's >>
You're tied at 10th. I have no plans to sell my primary set as it was excruciatingly difficult to build it in 8+. I've probably handled 6 high grade sets over the years to reach that 8.00+ level. high grade 71s don't grow on trees. They will hold their value over time.
This has taken years to put together, the mint 71s definitely don't grow on trees...but cards have been in a decade long bear market...but they, like stocks, will have their day in the sun again. for now its gold and t-bills, but it wont be like that forever.
<< <i>I don't collect 71's, but some of the 9's in the memory lane auction looked great.
Mint 9 Gaylord Perry for $161? Seems pretty cheap for a hall of famer. That Dusty Baker is pretty sweet, $2,000. >>
Yep, $161 for a Mint Perry is crazy. I think that's a pop 7. It's a great time to be a buyer of PSA 9 1971s since the market has been flooded with them recently.

I never focused on them in the past because they were so expensive and rare. Do you think the Blyleven and Reggie Jackson will always be $2,900 to $3,400?

Probably so. Pricing fluctuates over time, so they may dip a bit below those levels but then go back up. I wouldn't hold out hoping to get those two for well below $2000 though.
Well, 90% done and moved into the Top 10 finally! When I embarked on this mission, the legendary Frank Bakka said doing the 71 set the way I did my 72 set was impossible, and while the last 10% will remain elusive I'm sure, IT WILL BE DONE!!!
So all you folks out there, keep submitting raw and throwing the good stuff on ebay for me!

Well done Eric. I notice you sold the Powell though. Being a pop 1, how are you going to replace it?
<< <i>Raymond PSA 7 with no qualifiers is currently on ebay. >>
Not only is yours on eBay but there is another one on there as well.
STAY HEALTHY!

Not sure if you saw, but Memory Lane has a ton of 9's in their current auction. Most of them are being auctioned in groups of 20.
