Picked these up at a show yesterday. I normally buy cards from the '50s & '60s but I thought these were nice. What you say?

Looks like you just took that Clemente off the friggin printing press.

GooshA · January 23, 2011 6:04AM

Yes, a current printing press. Those cards are 10.5 grade.

Sensational cards. Congratulations. '72 is my all-time favorite set, one which I never get tired of viewing.

Once I left, I knew I should've bought more... commons that is. All of the other stars he had were sharp but OC. He had a binder full of commons though at $1/card. There were at least 50 and probably closer to a 100 commons as nice or nicer than the Clemente. I don't collect this set per se so I didn't know which ones were low pops. He did have a Wilhelm #777 and Garvey that I debated on but passed.

Awesome!!!

Those are great!! If I ran across those raw, I'd be afraid they had been trimmed. Do you measure these before buying them? Also, I would never be so brave as to NM value, even those these are obviously better than NM.

They measure up fine.

Smoooooooookin!!!

Grades are in...pretty pleased I guess. Was hoping for an 8.5 or possibly a 9 in the group. The Stargell has a slight bend on the upper right that knocked it down. Must be tought to get a 9 on '72s(especially stars).

Nice Poppage on the Clemente and Aaron.

Bosox1976 · February 16, 2011 11:08AM

Love that Munson.

tigerdean · February 16, 2011 11:11AM

I personally think those are some beautiful cards and I think you got jipped by some hard ass grader. I think 9,9,9, and the grade was probably appropriate on the Stargell.
