Two Tough PSA 9s from the 1968 Topps 3-D Set

Davalillo

The 1968 Topps 3-D Set is a toughie. While just 12 cards, the cards are quite rare with some(Powell, Swoboda, Flood and Stottlemeyer) rarer than others. I have been working for over 10 years putting this set together and finally got my 11th card during 2010. All I need is Boog Powell with I believe is a pop 3 in psa 8 with 2 9s and 2 10s. The last psa 8 went for about $8,500.

My set currently consists of 3 psa 8s and 8 psa 9s.

On my blog are scans of two of the tougher psa 9s in the set. "Bob" Clemente which is a pop 6 in psa 9 with 6 10s and Ron Swoboda of Mets fame which is a pop 5 in psa 9 with 2 higher..

Jim,

Those are some pretty rare cards. Can't wait to see your Powell once you get it. (We all KNOW you will!)

Jim, glad to see that you're a big music fan. So am I.

Nice work Jim. When you have time, you should post a message that lists all your sets and shows which are complete and how many are needed for the ones that aren't. It would be cool to see a summary of your progress.

One of my favorite sets. After you get the Powell Jim you can round up the B Robinson proof and the 3 other proof cards that recently surfaced ( Monday, T Davis and O'Donoghue)

Gemint,

Wow-- what would take some time but its a 3-day weekend. When I have the time I will do.

Bishop,

Wow--the Powell itself is rare in high grade. The others are just rare period.

How many copies of each have surfaced--any idea?
