1970 Topps - complete set in PSA 7 and 8 - My quest starts today

Golfcollector

I have pondered this for a long long time. Being mainly a golf card collector, I have gotten away from baseball pretty much altogether.

After some deliberation... today, I figured what the heck. 1970 is my birth year, and I would like to put together a nice graded set but do not want to drop and arm and a leg.

so, I figured I would start with this post first and see if anyone has any PSA 7's that they would want to part with. I am in NO HURRY to get this done, and in fact haven't even hit the local shops yet. For now if I can pick off some commons for a very small price, that is likely where I am going to start. EDITED _ and I guess if someone has low priced PSA 8's I would take the jump on those too!

If anyone has any "7's" or el cheapo 8's" that would help a fella out...(right now my want list is pretty much everything!) shoot me a PM with what you have and a price and I will respond to you quickly!

Thanks in advance for all who can help out!

Edited to add the fact that I guess i will consider PSA 8's if the price is low enough!

I would mix it up between 7's and 8's. 7's are a lot harder to find than 8's and there won't be a big difference in price for a lot of the common cards.

Good advice!

Like I said I am looking for "cheap" in this quest, unlike some of my golf sets, attaining super high grades and spending a LOT of money is NOT of interest to me when I put this together...but if I can get some 8's spinkled in at essentially similar lower prices than yeah, that makes sense!

I am off to the local shop to look through his raw cards. I have known the owner for a LONG time, he about fell outta his chair when I called, said someone had been earlier today and smacked up about 90 or so 1972's.....he didn't know what was up with the weather and people looking for 1970's BB today!

Hey BBKING

sent you a PM, also thanks to another board member who sent me a HUGE list!

I also have snabbed a few more tonight...commons at about $2.25 a crack on the handfull I have been high bidder on. Now that is the right price for collecting I tell ya !

Golfcollector

Picked up a few more and have some active PM's to finalize a couple of more deals.

My you are all such a helpful bunch!

Dave:
I have hundreds (700-800) of 1970's baseball from vending. I have sent in probably 200 or so and received 99+% 8's and 9's. More than half are from semi-high series (547-633) Some cards I have 15-20 copies each. If you want to send cards in for grading ( PSA special would be $4.50-$5.00 each) I will sell you any of these for fifty cents each. You would no doubt get 8's and probably a few 9's. Send me a PM if interested.

How's that set coming along. I might be able to help you with some cards if you are still working it.

Golfcollector

Thanks for the note.

Since I started I have completed a stem cell transplant to get rid of my hodgkins disease, been home for a few weeks, had a couple of incredibly rare set backs due to chemo medicine, and just got home from the hospital (again) yesterday.

I have picked up a lot on ebay for really cheap. Most 2-5 bucks with shipping. I think I have about 100 or so out of the way so far, but have been taking a break from it for awhile for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the note
