While I get that info for you, can you help me out with some info too?
When did the french protestant Villegaignon establish a community in what would become Rio de Janeiro? In which city were General Franco's headquarters located during the Spanish Civil War? The Persian satrapy of Skudra included which two areas?, Which was not a Great Khan of Mongolia? Which Khazar bek converted the country to Judaism? The St Marco Campanile standing in Venice today is a copy. How and when was the original destroyed? Which Hellenistic monarch was killed at the battle of Ipsus in 301 BC? Who lost the Battle of Tannenburg (or Grunwald) against Poland-Lithuania in 1410? In the late 17th century, the Scots attempted to found a colony in modern day Panama. What name is usually given to this ill-fated expedition? When did Brunei become independent? Which US political party was the first to use national conventions to nominate presidential candidates? What was the most populous tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy? What was the last Mongol state to be conquered by a foreign power? Which ruler of the 'Rus' conquered the Jewish Turkic state known as Khazaria? Which Theban leader is credited with the formation of the famous Sacred Band?
Geez... you guys are tough today. WinPitcher- that's '55 through '59 Burgundy- I DO have a PSA membership, sometimes there's a huge $$ difference between a pop. 30 and a pop. 50 in PSA 8 Nam812- you have plenty of time on your hands to write all that garbage... Nathaniel1960- THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, I'm bored. I'm going to look at more cards tomorrow of which there are a lot of commons from '53-'76. I'm off work and don't go back until Tuesday so get used to these baffling/bothersome/horrific/ posts. BTW, Burgundy, I sent your cards using Paypal shipping for the first time. Hope they get there by 2010
<< <i>Where did you get that list of questions, Nick? >>
Dang, I thought my boy Boo "Will Hunting" potts was going to answer them off the top of his head. >>
Ha! Don't I wish. If I can find the will to pry myself away from brooding over the Granderson trade, though, I'll probably end up looking into at least a couple of them.
Seems no one really understood the purpose of Nam's post.
The suggestion, at least in my eyes, was that if you want some answers, you need to do some homework.
Questions such as these are, for lack of a better word, virtually proprietary information that many glean from hours of study and extrapolation. To openly request such and expect to have the multitudes offer it up freely is akin to asking a high end stock broker for free investment tips or asking a CPA for free financial planning strategies. Information such as this is often guarded and has significant value to those that put in the work and effort to develop such lists.
So, not only is the request considered insulting by some (those that have purchased access to the PSA Pop Reports), it is like asking for someone to publicly publish confidential financial data as this information is used by quite a few to generate income. Income that is derived from hours of study and even more hours spent scouring show floors and eBay auctions. And you seem sensitive about others questioning your request...
It is situations like this that I abhor and it is why oft times I come across as pompous and elitist. I, as well as quite a few others, have spent years putting information like this together and I am quite hesitant to share it because: a) it provides a level of income and b) others would be too lazy to utilize the information properly and would eventually release it to the general public and create a new level of competition. So, I guess that makes me selfish, too. And if that's the case, slap me in the azz and color me purple!
Neal, If I had done any of those sets then I'd give you the information that I had, much like all the info on the '60's sets I've done. I don't get all of the "get it yourself" attitudes. When someone asks me for VCP help I always give it if I currently have VCP, likewise with pop report and SMR questions.
What some people don't want to or may not realize is what was low pop 3 years ago or 2 years ago may not be low pop now and who wants to give out false info?
Plus, Scott had a point, someone armed with all that info say on a spreadsheet who updates it monthly has spent numerous hours working on it. And may not want to just give it up.
Had leadoff asked for one specific set I'm sure someone here would have gladly helped.
But IMO he asked for something that was almost impossible to get easily so we busted his chops (in a good natured way).
If anyone feels differently they can always start working on it and post the info here for all to enjoy......
<< <i>Is this the place where everyone piles on Leadoff. Shirley is elitist-can't make up his mind to support SGC or PSA. It's like Favre with retirement. >>
Can't make up my mind? At least I have a clue to what's going on and don't waste my day scouring eBay to find an example of a card that may be misgraded so that I can post it for all the world to see how much of a moron I am... Yes, you're a moron with a history of being a tired winded blowhard that has an axe to grind.
Oh, and with regard to PSA and SGC, there's no need for me to decide on which one to support since I am quite happy with the cross utilization of BOTH services. See, unlike you, I can make a decision without having to have a majority opinion and I don't have to complain about anyone's auctions or shipping costs.
If that makes me elitist, so be it. We can add it to my other pompous credentials. I'm more than happy to sit alone on my little island while the class clowns take their pot shots. Unlike some of the clowns, I don't have to worry about whether someone else backs me up. I'm a big boy and know where I'm at and where I'm going regardless of how many tell me where they think I SHOULD go...
Otwcards, Did I strike a nerve? It seems to me that you can dish it out, but can't take it. I don't think I've ever called anyone a moron or something like that on a public forum. Definately not 2 times. You called yourself elitist and Shirley, I was only adding to the fun. I think Leadoffs' question was too general and would require alot of effort on someones part. Mickey71

WinPitcher(Steve)- I was asking for low pop. 8s? I added in 7? at the end just asking if there were any that brought $$ in 7, say for instance like a '64 Flood that also brings decent $$ in 7. Jeff(Itzagoner)- nice video!!

Strike a nerve? Not exactly.
It's just that there are a few people on here that I find rather repugnant. Your endless postings about misgraded cards and your whining about other's auctions and shipping is annoying. The fact that you can't get your facts straight half the time is even more annoying.
Personally, I should just keep my opinions about you, and a few others that I've blasted lately, to myself, but that's not my style.
I don't mind people adding to the fun if they're laughing along. You're like the guy that crashes the party empty handed, then complains when the keg is empty. I'm just putting in my two cents because I brought the keg.

I agree with EchoCanyon that you shouldn't have requested 5 years worth of low pops.

I am serious and stop calling me Shirley...
Did his intent go as far as your explanation regarding the profits one can make armed with that info?
That I do not know, but they all knew he was telling leadoff that it was too much to ask for and
since it was too much to ask for that he should do it himself, Ron Burgandy chimed in with buying
a pop subscription and I was my old sardonic self. The lollie pops were a nice touch too.
Next..........

I was busting your chops in a good natured way.
Plus come to think of it you were asking for low pop in 7?
Most folks only consider cards in 8 as low pop.
or at least only know that info.
When I first read your post I thought you wanted low pops (which to me meant in 8) AND what was low pop in 7 too.
But now that I have re read your OP I see you wanted them in PSA 7 which IMO would be almost impossible to get off the top of anyone's head.
Maybe try again ib a few weeks and ask for one year at a time.

Scott I'm not gonna mess with you.
Anyone have any answers to Nam's questions?

That's a popular misconception.
Jeff(Itzagoner)- nice video!!
BTW, no low pops found yesterday but some nice cardboard that I'll try to post later today... if I get done w/ my psych treatment in time
I thought I was clear, most people when they think of low pop it is a card in 8.
I then went back and re read your opening post and saw you were asking for low pop in 7.
I then went on and stated that it is doubtful anyone would even have that info.
In any event, if a card is low pop in 7 (and it is a meaningful low pop) it must mean that not many
or none for that matter exist in 8,9 or 10. Although I am sure it is possible that a card could be low pop in 7
simply because the majority of them are in grades 6 and below too.
NO you never asked for low pop in 8. That was an assumption on my part.
Steve
Another thing that confused me was your comment to Burgandy:
Burgundy- I DO have a PSA membership, sometimes there's a huge $$ difference between a pop. 30 and a pop. 50 in PSA 8
That reinforced in my mind that you were asking for both. Only later did I think maybe he wants 7's not 8's?
Sorry for the confusion and good luck on the sets you are building.
