Who is Brady Hill and will he push the 1970s highend market into bold new heights?

He recently purchased the #1 1977 set and the 1979 Ozzie 10. He has been paying very strong.

Is all hope lost or can MMD (Mintmoondog) take down this apparent Goliath?

    I sincerely doubt the vast majority of set collectors including Henry really care about someone else's set. More power to him.

    It sounds like this dude showed up to the game ready play. I like it. Brady must be the guy who bought the 1977 Topps #265 Mark Fidrych PSA 10 recently.

    Anytime I feel like I spend too much on cards, I can find a buyer like that to change the perspective. I always have to wonder who they are, being able to drop 5-6 figures on cards in a 60-90 day period!

    He will most certainly blow me away eventually image He has been killing me in Mini auctions the past year, he has bought several of the Spence number 1 sets early in the decade, the great Czar 1977 set, and BBCards4U's fantastic 1976 set. It's fun to watch his collection grow. My goal is to complete the decade first and then sit back on the couch with popcorn girl and watch him go.

    Well, here are his current registry sets: Link. It looks like he may have sold his 1914 Cracker Jack set to finance all of this: Link

    I think it's far more likely he simply lost interest in the Cracker Jacks.

    Brady is a nice guy. His 70s stuff is insane. Sold a pop 1 10 of a 1977 common to him about a month ago for decent money.

    Looks like he was willing to do $460 for 1977 Topps John Wathan #218 Royals PSA 10 Pop 1 beating out MMD with a last 5 second snipe. If you got that much or more then you did great!

    Congrats!

    LOL! I must be really slow what are you guys talking about? No I am not Brady if that is what you are saying. I wish I had his kind of money though. Very impressive what he is doing. And the higher prices will help increase the value of everyones collection of the 1970s I think.

    Hinting that someone is an alt of someone else is so incredibly played out/tiresome.
    If you've actually got something, spill it. Otherwise, you're providing exactly the same amount of intrigue as you would if you hit 'reply to thread' without typing anything into the box.

    I think the 70's purchases are pretty secondary for him. He's got some very serious material that would blow away any collector. If he does approach you do not think he's just wasting your time, he's very serious and definitely legit and fair.

    It seems like whenever one large collector gets out of collecting, there's someone else to take their place. I would have thought if/when Spence ever sold his collection, it would be broken up since it was likely too massive for one collector to be willing to absorb it.

    Brady has purchased several cards from me in the past week and he is paying aggressive for strong material. He is incredibly gracious and has educated me on several different questions I had for him.

    10/10 Great Collector.

    Correct. Letters are always the same for bidders. There is one pair that shows as a bidder and another one when FB is left.

    Matty,

    I doubt a guy of his means cares one way or another. Both his and the top sets are private; as a collector, I'd like to see the cards in the sets, but I know there are reasons for keeping them private on the set registry. To each his own.
