Some new additions to my most recent '72 Set project

So I started out a few weeks ago looking to build a nice NM-NM/MT set to put up as the other 2 I have are more in the EX/MT - NM range, but as all projects, they seem to change a bit. I now have bought around 150 graded cards from PSA 7 to PSA 10 and mostly averaging toward the NM/MT+ range. I'm 13 cards short from finishing and I have around 70-80 raw '72's that I'll be sending in for grading. I had thoughts of building a super high end set, but there aren't really enough high end examples at auction to build it as fast as I like to, lol. Most of the nice 9's and 10's are at ridiculous BIN's no where near VCP and most of the ones that are at auction go for a lot because the competition is strong. I guess I'll just keep upgrading over time. Here are some of the most recent examples, haven't really decided what to do with the Mays and Yaz as they are BVG, along with the SGC Fisk I picked up. I think I want it to be uniform PSA, but these were great deals so I had to pounce. The MVP 10 is a great card and a great buy I thought. Well below VCP, only 2 auctions in the past year and a half, pop 6. It was one of several 10's offered by the same seller but the other ones were priced well above VCP and didn't get bids. Got this one for $100

Very nice! That '72 set is a classic. Underrated in my opinion.

lol, that was a PSA 8 Stargell and a PSA 8 Carlton. The seller refunded $10 off the purchase price and said one of his workers packed for him for the week before and he had several irate customers. Bought some goo gone and it came off pretty easy.
