Some Nice, Raw 70's In This Week - Scan Heavy

Bosox1976 · October 19, 2012 11:20AM

Got in three nice purchases this week -

1) A 1971 Topps Set that I took a chance on via ebay. Loved seeing sequential serial numbers of the 3 PSA graded cards included (PSA 8 Baker/Baylor, PSA 8 (st) Clemente - light wax on front, and a PSA 6 Aaron, and hoped for similar condition within. Series 1 through 4 were low to mid-grade, it picked up markedly for the last two series.

2) A nice 1973 Topps Set - I'll go through it better tomorrow and scan by tomorrow night.

3) Two lots of 1976 Topps from Gaspipe (Bob) - thanks!

Anyway, bear with me on the heavy scans - I am going to send a sub in from these, and the scans here are a big help to me in seeing things...

Damn - when did photobucket stop using sequential numbers for scans! Copy & paste marathon over for tonight

Some real sharp high pop 76's there! Nice

tsalems1 · October 19, 2012 1:01PM

FANTASTIC!!!!

Crack the Clemente and clean off the wax on front, RESUB!!!

Beauts, Mike! Man, you've got a good eye for those 70s cards. Are these straight from wax?

Bosox1976 · October 19, 2012 9:28PM

Thanks guys. Not from wax- a bulk lot on the 76's and a very mixed, complete set on the 71's (lousy low numbers, sweet high numbers).

Foo3112 · October 19, 2012 9:42PM

Wow, those ARE beautiful cards. Good look with your grading although I think you wont need it because they all look great. That Clemente is BIG money still even with the stain but I agree. Crack it open (if you want to take that chance) and clean it off - or - whoever buys it will do it for you and then resubmit it I'm sure. I'm nervous about cracking cards over $200 more out of a PSA case because it can catch on of the sides and put a dent into the side of the card.

WOW, those 76's are very crisp and beautiful. Very nice pickup Mike!!

Really nice cards!

gemint · October 19, 2012 11:48PM

Those '76 cards look familiar.

I picked up several lots from Bob as well and they were equally nice. Be sure to loupe them for print spots as some cards consistently have them (like the Madlocks). Good luck with the 71s. Looks like you could have a few 9s in there. If you get an 8 on the Raymond, that could practically pay for your set right there.

Mike the cards look fantastic.

cardbender · October 20, 2012 11:18AM

Those are some real winners! Very sharp cards.

Nice purchase.

Great cards, Mike. Always loved me some '71's. The Mays is really nice.

Can I barrow your time machine?
Nice stuff!

Bosox1976 · October 21, 2012 9:43AM

Thanks for the kind words guys. I've got another hundred 71's with one touch (like the Mays) - am guessing those are 7's?

Also, do you think the Clemente is a "slider" 8? It is not as sharp as Baylor/Baker and am pondering cracking it an de-waxing....

The 73's weren't as sharp as I had hoped, but still a few stars worth grading.....

Stone193 · October 21, 2012 9:54AM

Hiya Mike

You picked up some really super cards!

I have some favorites - the centering on those Sox team cards? Incredible!

Thanx.

gemint · October 22, 2012 3:43AM

Hey Mike,

At under $900 for the 1971 set you can't go wrong, even with a 7 on the Clemente. You'll certainly do much better with a 7 NQ than with an 8 ST. I would definitely go for it. I've got my fingers crossed for when you crack out that Schmidt. I've heard horror stories about the screw down holders. Hopefully it hasn't been clamped in there for a decade or more.

LOVE those 76s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
