1975 Topps George Brett PSA 9...

PSA 9 George Brett



I thought I remember this card selling in the $700 to $800 range in the past few years. Is that correct?

If so wow these have really broken out to the upside.

    $2,000


    Here is an example that sold earlier year and was a very strong one.

  • The bidding blew by my offer. Problem is lesser examples are now BIN'd at that level.

    It does happen to be a nice 9 recently graded.

    Heard the 9's of Ryan and Brett were tough to come by at the National. Is that the case?
  • Yes, the Brett 9's have seen quite an increase over the past year.

    HOF PSA RCs across the board have seen a nice increase over the past two years

    Bingo! I have no problem paying strong for cards that are strong for the grade, but I agree with you a Mark, your seeing auctions from PWCC and/or Probstein set new starting points for lesser graded cards. So your left to wait it out until those BIN prices pull back, or watch someone inpatient pull the trigger on the BIN which only further entrenches that new found pricing.

    The Brett and Schmidt RC's are perfect examples of two cards that have doubled in price over the last 6-8 months.

    Mark,

    Can't speak on the Ryan rookies, but the Brett 9's were indeed hard to find. Granted, I got to the National on Saturday morning, but the only one I saw wasn't even for sale. It's going up for auction in the next Memory Lane auction. It's a beauty though.

    I didn't see a Brett PSA 9 RC, but did see a Ryan 9. Dealer was asking $7500 for it. Aside from that and of course the PSA 10 Ryan that Tony E Trade had in his case, there were plenty of PSA 8 Ryan RC's.

  • PSA pop report is showing 180 graded 9.

    I had no idea the market was getting that strong for certain 70s rookie cards.
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the PSA 10 collector he didn't exist.

    to be fair, that is a finely centered PSA 8

    That's actually as nicely centered as the other one, but askew in the holder.

  • 2 more insane BINs just hit the bay! SGC 98 and another "amazing 9" - the sum of which get me a pretty sweet 52 mantle in the 2-3 range.

    Did someone buy up like 30 PSA 9 bretts and bury them? Or is George getting some extra attention on you tube for his stellar interview during 2012 Home Run derby?
  • gemintgemint Posts: 6,099 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The run on HOF rookiees seems to be selective though. Dave Winfield's RC in PSA 9 has increased slightly this year but nothing near where the Brett has.

    MB if I remember correctly you have a PSA 9 Brett, can I ask some details on that, IE: did you buy it raw, graded, psa, how long have you had it and what did you pay? I have a nice raw Yount that I think would grade PSA 8 but my current Brett is probably a PSA6 and I would like to upgrade. Thanks, BC.

    The SGC 98 sold. There are still a number of 9s for sale, with the low being a low end 4sc for 1499.

    If you had the item on your watch list either post the auction number in the thread and I will go find the selling price or go to link posted below and enter it in there and post it in the thread.

    Thanks.

    last vcp was 3k and change

    question will the 98 cross to a 10 or a 9?
  • That SGC 98 is a gorgeous card. Just a beautiful specimen. Politics plays into the crossing game, but focusing on the card itself-- just a real fantastic piece. Congrats to whoever reeled it in.
  • MiniDuffMiniDuff Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭
    That was me. I bought it eyes wide open, assuming it wont cross, but being very happy with the card first and flip second. I've always been a fan of SGC personally. What would a PSA 10 go for today? More than I could afford for sure.

    How many on the boards here have a 9 mini Brett? I believe mine was somewhere between the 100th and 110th graded. Can't quite remember.


  • << <i>card first and flip second. >>



    That is what it's all about! I have owned and held a PSA 10 of that card and yours measures up in every way, and then some.
  • ClockworkAngelClockworkAngel Posts: 1,994 ✭✭✭
    The value is in spotting the 9's that are spectacular 9's and can compare to a 10. Like that Brett. It's gorgeous and I would not flinch if it were in a 10 holder.

    Across the board, 1960's and mainly 1970's HOF RC's continue to skyrocket and are as solid an investment you can get. The Schmidt and Brett are skyrocketing, but Winfield, Yount, Dawson, Molitor, Ozzie, Rickey, Munson, Reggie, etc etc all continue to go up

    That's my mini 9. I pulled it from an REA case I personally bought and broke. Can't find a flaw, but have been unsuccessful so far reviewing it. The Yount was a purchase and I was too lazy to crap the old scan to show just the brett.

    If 9's are going for the low end of $1500, what do you think 8.5 would go for since high to mid end 8's are going over $200?

    $600 if you were somewhat patient via a BIN auction on EBAY.

    Which was a lot like late 1999, early 2000. People that continue to hype without any substance typically profit the most, while everyone else holds the bag.

    That was a steal with a chance for a bump. It was won by a CU member.

    I don't think it will bump. The top-to-bottom centering and stain on the reverse will probably prevent it. Still a nice card. I thought about making a run on it until I measured the centering and noticed the stain.

    I've seen 9's that have worse centering T-B and I must be blind because I don't see a stain. I think it has a great shot at a bump.

    I measured 65-35 top to bottom. The stain is a black spot on the right border on the reverse, about 3/4 of the way toward the top of the card.

    That Aaron 8 is a beauty with a capital B!
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    A gorgeous specimen which is sure to become a $10,000+ item in the years to come; there simply are not enough to go around.


    I guess we didn't have to wait years. LOL

  • gemintgemint Posts: 6,099 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Well, I ended up winning the Clemente. Always wanted that card. I paid a steep price for it but it's a beauty. Just about right on 60-40 top-to-bottom and confirmed the snow on the cap is the holder and not the card. I think it has a good shot to bump but I'm not counting on it. That card will stay in my collection for years. Incidentally, I think the card came from the same collection as Dmitri's PSA 10 version as the cert is just a few cards before this one.

    Thanks. I guess being a big Pirate fan from PA and the Pirates having a quality team this year all conspired against me to make me want this card enough to win it. image

    Congrats on the Clemente pickup. Great card for sure!
