This set is NOT published, but it would be the #1 set for that year. The average is 9.94, it has 122 10's and 10 9's. There are only 24 cards out there that are graded higher than what's in this set. Two of the cards (Benjamin and Ellis) still have no 10's graded. It includes the toughest star PSA 10 in the modern era, the Larry Bird with a pop of 2. The only HOF not graded a 10 in the set is Drexler. VCP for this set is $16,585. I'm looking for 15K shipped. Email me with any questions.
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.

    I agree with Matt. Very underrated. Still a few cards with 0 pop 10s.


    Thanks,

    Hi there, Is this the Sports Rarities auction set that sold last month?

    You mean this one? Looks different, but I suppose the OP could have added to it since then.
  • rtimmerrtimmer Posts: 1,347 ✭✭✭✭
    Yeah I figured since there are only 2 Bird's in existence this was probably that set. The Drexler being a 9 added to the belief so I thought I would ask.

    Absolutely awesome set. Congrats on that amazing accomplishment. Can we see a nice scan of the Bird?
    Thanks so much.

    The hammer price on that set, is not doing you any favors in hopes of getting the $15K asking price.

    This is the very first PSA registry set that I completed. I had it complete at about a 9.15 GPA. I can tell you this is a much more difficult set than the 86-87 Fleer set that preceeds this, in finding PSA 10's. Wish I had the extra change laying around to be able to pick this up from you.

    I'll be honest - had no idea the set break would sell that well via auction...makes me wish I would have done the same with my 9 set - you got great prices on some of those even. Congrats!

    I came in at a shade below 19K, I was thrilled with that.

    Wow...what a great quick flip...that's insane. 2 bidders did a lot of damage on the bigger cards it seems...the registry is a drug.
    Now those ebay fees you will be paying on the other hand...ouch. Don't forget you could hit paypals $20K/200 transaction point to get reported to the IRS, so keep records of your expenses.

    I'm amazed the main bidders on ebay on that '87 set break didn't just try to win it from Legacy. Then take out the cards they wanted and list/dump/consign the rest.

    The Bird, Catledge, and Bailey cards on ebay sold for as much as the entire set sold for. Totally unreal.

    Nice work on buying it and breaking up that set.
