Any good sources for 1971 Topps Greatest Moments?

Does anyone know of a good source for reasonably priced 1971 Topps Greatest Moments cards? There are usually several on eBay but at BIN prices that are so high the cards just linger on there. If you search under 'completed listings', most are unsold.

I've never seen "reasonably priced" and "1971 Topps Greatest Moments" used together anywhere. These always seem very pricey whenever I've run across them. Being a test issue, IIRC, I guess those that have them to sell really think highly of them.

I got my Killebrew almost 20 years ago and was asking the same thing then. You might stumble upon one if you are patient, but most of the people who have these are either not selling, or selling at very high prices. Are you looking for them in high grade, or would you consider a "beater"?

Keep looking on eBay, the BIN's drive me crazy too. Sooner or later someone might decide to auction one off. I agree the BIN's on these are high.

Are there any card shops in your area that sell vintage? If there are, drop in and inquire, you might find one, if they aren't busy you might get in a good conversation about the hobby, from there they could "keep an eye out for one" for you.

Pick up a Sports Collectors Digest and call the dealers who sell vintage, same as above. I remember getting a callback from Mike Wheat Cards on a 1960 Post Killebrew I had called him on several months before. He picked up a collection with one in it, and remembered me. That was a great pick up. Thanks again Mike!

Go to any shows in your area and ask the dealers specifically about them. I found mine that way, the dealer didn't have one but a friend of his was giving up trying to put together a complete set and selling the ones he had off. Not too many card shows locally anymore.

Go to the national convention, it's a long way off, but there will be some there.

Good luck, these are terrific cards!

I have collected the 1971 Topps Greatest Moments set for over 20 years and I will be the first to tell you that not many people have these cards. I have some extras in my collection that I was just packing up to have sold at a show. If you have any interest in picking some up please PM me and we can talk.

Shane - PM sent. Thanks.

Joe - Thanks for the advice. This is definitely a set that one would need to have patience for. I wouldn't be looking for beaters but not top shelf either. Probably more like PSA 6 types.

You are very welcome. Good luck with this great set!
