1962 Topps Green Tints Registry Question

tyweb1 · August 24, 2013 10:59AM

Now that PSA has added the Green Tint designation to the flips, does anyone know if those cards can be added to master player sets?

Thanks

According to pop report this is already being done. You will probably have to use the "Report a cert that should match this composite" function to get new ones added.

Wow! How exciting would that be -- and expensive to send in to have re-labeled. I see my 62T Master is still at 100% complete, so if this is the case then they have made the adjustment to the inventories yet.

I'll be keeping an eye on this!

Thanks for the heads up!

I've got all the cards ready to go -- here's a link if anyone hasn't seen all the green-tints in cards 110-196 yet:

You might be able to get them reholdered for no charge under the "mechanical error" guidelines.

There seems to be a "Super" set that includes the green tint cards.

Aha! I'll have to go check that out. That would make sense to have a new category so the original Master Set wouldn't be so disrupted. This is a huge change!

I really hope I can get the flips updated with minimal cost. I'm trying to get retired in the next year or two and don't want to lay out toooo much cash to get this done!

Thanks,

Yup! Here's a link to the 1962 Topps Super Set Registery.

Awesome!!

Love your Ruth #139's, Mike

HoofHearted · August 25, 2013 12:48PM

Thanks, Mike! That green-tint Ruth was a card I bought from the Card Collectors Company (logo below) in the mid-60s. I remember completing the Ruth and WS subsets through the mail at that time. That's the only reason it stayed in the shape it's in! Great memories...

You know, because of that huge purchase from you, I was able to complete that set a lot quicker. Thanks for that great deal. You're one of the best!

I just sent the request in to add the green tint Santo to my master set. Hopefully they accept and add it.

HoofHearted · August 26, 2013 2:16PM

Great idea adding the green tint version to a player set! My Kirby Kollection wouldn't benefit from this breakthrough, dang it.

I emailed Cosetta today to ask how to register those green tints that aren't labeled as green tints. She told me they would have to be REHOLDERED. That is as nuts as it is expensive. I asked why we couldn't just send in a scan and have it added to the appropriate spot, but I didn't hear back. Nor did she address my question about submitting under mechanical error. I also noticed something else. The Angels Team with insets can be registered in the 62 Master Set but not the Super set. Same with the Billy Hoeft Green Sky. Shouldn't the spec number for each card be the same for both sets?

Oh, oh. Really? I sent in a request for them to add those same variations thinking they would go through. If those don't go through, they got some 'splainin' to do! (I just checked and they haven't replied to my request to add them on Saturday night. I'll give it another day or two before following up on this.)

The cards should be sent in under the MECHANICAL category. This is the name for cards that need id corrections. The charge and shipping amounts are both zero. Be sure to include the value of the cards.

Mechanical turnaround used to be a few days. With the backlog, a week or so is more likely.

Watch "My Orders". Since the cards are already graded, the incorrect id will show up there. When the id is corrected, it is safe to add to your inventory.

I asked Cosetta about "Mechanical Error" but she did not answer that question. There is only one possible problem here----the green tint designation did not become official until July 2012 per Cosetta. Could PSA use that as an excuse not to do these under mechanical error if they were slabbed prior to July 2012?
I also discovered something else----there are SEVEN cards that are designated in the "Master Set" that will not cross into the "Super Set". They are as follows: #129 Walls Facing left, #132 Angels Inset, #134 Hoeft Green Sky, #139 Reniff Pitching, #147 Kunkel Pitching, #176 Yost Batting, #190 Moon with Cap. Cosetta is looking into this but logic says these cards should be available for any set that includes them. Something to think about.

Many 1966 Batman B series (blue), say neither "puzzle back" nor "blue bat back" on them. By default, they are "puzzle back". I've sent in many via "Mechanical" to be corrected.

Ditto for 1963 Primrose Flintstones. At one time, PSA didn't recognize the "Farnham Road" version.

Ditto for 1952 Topps baseball. Cards 1-80 come in red and black backs. Those not indicated are treated as red backs.

I've never had a "Mechanical" turned down.

Thanks for that tip. I will send in a few because I'm not about to spend $5 each to re-holder. Had another email conversation with Cosetta that made no sense. As I mentioned in my last post, there are seven cards that can be added to the master set but not the super set. Cosetta said that is correct because the ones in the Super set have to be green tint. I emailed and phoned back that these cards only exist in green tint, so they should be registered in both sets. Never got an answer back.... I'll let you know how this plays out.

When PSA started designating T206 with backs, and again when they designated '41 Goudeys by color, you had to resubmit the cards for reholdering at $5 each in order to get them designated as such. No mechanical error, it's a new service.

JMDVM · September 4, 2013 10:28AM

I heard back from Cosetta today. 7 cards are now eligible for the "Super" set that previously would not transfer from the "master" set. They are: !29 Walls facing left, 132 Angels Inset, 134 Hoeft Green Sky, 139 Reniff Pitching, 147 Kunkel pitching, 176 Yost Batting, 190 Moon with Cap
No need to re-holder

Thanks for the advice. Items updated!

Cosetta confirmed this today-----any green tints graded prior to the recognition of this variation are not eligible for "mechanical error". However, can PSA determine the date for a graded card?
