That's actually a pretty fair price, imo, if the cards all measure up correctly..the tougher PSA 9 commons in this set go for crazy money..of any set from the 70s, the minis offer the greatest "bang" for the buck as far unopened goes..

Interesting item to discuss. Evaluating a set by its Registry GPA is kind of like gauging someone's fitness by body weight alone-- it's also very much about body comp/fat percentage. Point being that while a very nice set, this one doesn't have many of the notoriously tough commons or even major stars in PSA 9. Those rare low pop centered 9s are where the real value is in minis. Would be very hard for an aspiring set builder to buy this whole enchilada and then upgrade this one, as they'd be waiting a long time for so many tough, expensive cards. If they just wanted a nice set to leave as is of course different story.

What is total VCP for all of the graded cards? That would give a pretty good idea as to overall value as some would likely go higher and some would likely go lower than avg. VCP.

I did the homework on the set a few months ago when it first surfaced and came to the exact same conclusion as Matty. We even discussed it on the mini thread, though I am too lazy to look it back. The bottom line is that while it is a very nice set, it is startling in its lack of what I would call "power". There is only one ten and it is an extremely common one at that. There are relatively few 9s of key Hofers and few low pop 9s that would bring real money. Echoing Matty, it is a very nice set to own, but it is kind of at a plateau where it is as good as you can get before you start buying cards and $50 to $500 each to improve an iota at a time.

An 8.5~ set was sold by REA a few years ago for $17k~ and it was probably a better set. It had 13 psa 10s including Lynn and a ton of beast 9s, including Carew, Winfield, Garvey, Schmidt, etc.

I've looked this set over on extreme zoom and it looks like a relatively clean set. There are shorts, but they aren't rampant as they have been in other complete sets sold in the last few years.

I also modeled the break value as per vcp and it came up almost exactly at the sets minimum bid, which makes it an impossible break as well. I did make an offer offline in the interest of breaking it and may revisit if it doesn't sell.

so basically it's worth around $15,000 after fees if you broke it, so its true market value is probably around $13,500 - $14,000 at auction.

With that many 9's it would be worth it at $15k and risk cracking and resubbing most of the 9's.

The set would have to be purchased for $14,000 to turn a profit after Ebay fees. I made him a few offers on the set, but his price is way too high.
