I have around 5000 singles from 1970, 6000 1971's, maybe 3000 1972 and 73. Short on 1974's. Very difficult year and will be looking high and dry for some this next trip! Got maybe 600. 1975's 2000 or so 1976 2000 1977 3000 and close to 12 sets
I have a couple great leads and will also be hitting a card show up there. I don't expect to find much at the show (I'm sure its all hockey) but it gives me a chance to talk to a bunch of dealers and who knows what they have at home! Can't wait to get up there!
Will be looking at all kinds of stuff from uncut sheets, vending cases,complete sets from most years, non sports and more!
Fielded a couple calls this week out of nowhere! 1 guy has a 1965 set and the other guy called and says he has sets from 1969 on up minus 1971. Another contact has opc baseball lots from anywhere from 200-1000 cards from each year 1965 to 1976 This same guy has LOTS of non sport sets from the 60's and early/mid 70's Another guy has some late 80's/early 90's vending! And much much more! Hope I have enough cash$$$$$
My time is almost completly booked from Friday the 12th til Tuesday the 16th! Night and day OPC! Eat and drink OPC! I will be dreaming OPC card board jumping over the moon in my sleep.
I have fielded a couple more calls on OPC baseball. My schedule at this point is completly booked from Friday the 12th through Monday the 15th. The calls are about 5 hours away from where I will be. My plane leaves Tuesday morning. If I went to see these other collections, I would have to change my flight and stay another day. I dont mind doing that but i'm not sure I want to drive another 5 hours out of my way and another 5 hours back. The airport is 2 hours from where I will be as well, so the trip back would be 7 hours.
Out having some Chinese food, then off to the hotel at the airport. Up at 430am for a 615 flight. I'm excited as hell to get up to Canada. Hope to have success once again
1st 2 stops Friday night... Walked away with some GREAT stuff. Good size lot of singles 1965 through 1976. Some very high grade stuff. I see many 9'/10 quality cards Mostly commons/minor stars with the occasional star mixed in.

I got 1 or 2 Drydens but sorry I cant help you with them.
1 of the guys that gets me lots of my OPC baseball up in Canada told me he needed all the Drydens I pull out of the box of 79 hockey I got. I have to take care of him if I still want to see more of this baseball...

Expect to see more PSA 10's to pop!!!!
Expecting another big day.
Got some great things lined up
1991 opc baseball wax case
1989 opc baseball vending case
3000 1979-80 opc hockey. Many pack fresh in 8-9 and 10 quality! Wow!!!!
1972,1973,1976,1977
And a 1975 Topps set that is very nice
Everything is packed up. 75 pounds this time
Its Fedex'd overnight and will be in my hands tomorrow
Get ready for scans the next couple of days
Lots of goodies!
Or was this strictly business ?
You said...."Last stop was today.................."
and the final set you listed was 1977 opc.
It was your 1977 post,
and you have 3 1977 opc sets listed in your sig line.
Just kind of weird if you're superstitious.
That 77 I just bought is hands down the nicest raw set I have ever seen!
So many perfectly centered with sharp corners.
I see many 9/10's popping!
If so, keep me in mind

<< <i>Wow, great looking cards Tom. Congrats on a successful trip. That '78 Ryan would have had a shot at a 10 if not for the tilt. Damn you tilt. >>
Thanks!
I agree but I have multiples on just about everything you see here.
I just took a couple quick scans.
I got home around 2pm and the cards were here waiting for me.
I have been going through everything since 2!
I dont get to enjoy any of the lots I buy until I get home and i'm enjoying it now!
<< <i>I dont get to enjoy any of the lots I buy until I get and i'm enjoying it now! >>
I hear you Tom. I bet it is exciting when you come across those with 10 potential. Best of luck with your forthcoming submissions.
