Selling My Topps '75 & '76 Collections

Hi, everyone, I'm Rick, I live in Nevada and am a new member here. Signed up because I'm selling my '75 and '76 Topps collections and see some here really appreciate and respect the '75 and '76 series so figured I'd give the collectors first crack at my beauties before I start hitting the pro dealers in 'The Biz'. All these cards are one-owners, I bought them as they came out in the mid-70's. Too be honest, I'd forgotten I still had them, I thought I'd lost them during a move, but as I was just recently looking for some Batman comics I was SURE I had (which it turns out I DON'T have, btw), I found these guys packed away in a small box in the back. I had wrapped these guys in comic mylars in '78 and they've been just sitting there since. There are originally 364 '75 series and 759 '76 series cards.
I've set aside all the '75s that aren't near gem (non-perfect centering, a chip or flake, a small corner ding, ANY minor imperfection) and am left with 111 '75s. The '76 set is not complete, it almost is, some of the cards are duplicates (2,3,4 and even 5 dupes of some cards). You can check out some HQ scans I've made at: http://s124.photobucket.com/user/Hattusas63/library/Baseball Cards/ just copy and paste to go directly there (and check out my killer comic collection too if you want). If you like what you see, drop me an email at Hattusas63 @ gmail. com and I'll attach some Notepad text lists of both collections and email them to you. I've already sold off some of the key '75 key cards (George, Robin, etc...sorry), the offers were just too good to pass up, still all remaining cards are truly incredible, they look just printed, are all centered nearly perfectly, have new gloss, new corners, no stains or edge chips, they are just like new as cards can get (because the pretty much are). So check my '76 Ecks and Brett, Johnny Briggs' and Rick Millers, Hanks, Nolans and all the '75 beauties as well. You won't be wasting your time.... There's a few earlier 70's cards there too ('74 Nolan and Pete, etc).These are all still raw, I do not want to start getting them graded, the prices might start to go through the roof and I'd have to pretty much open a web shop and start selling singles which I have no desire to do. HQ scans can be made of any cards and I can post them to Photobucket as needed. So have a look and see what you think, then email me for complete lists if like what you see and we can take it from there... Happy collecting, and remember, that elusive Hank #550 Gem 10 is still out there
somewhere!

Thanks for the very nice welcomes and the link, White Tornado! I'll turn on my PMs (didn't know they were off). I've answered all emails I've received so far and hope the replies help. Ideally what I'd trying to do is sell by the complete collection, either the '75 or '76 collections alone or both collections together as one lot. If I get into selling by the card it'll get to be a madhouse (and I only have so much bourbon). What I planned is that interested people drop me an email, I'll send them back two Notepad text files listing all the cards and they'll check 'em out and make an offer after seeing everything, kinda like an auction 'high bid takes all' type deal. Of course, any cards can be scanned and posted to PBucket for clarity....THAT'S my plan, anyway, I hope I've clarified things. I'd like to help out selling singly or in small lots, but for efficiency and ease of transactions, I'd really like to just mail 'em out in one or two lots. It'll get pricey dealing with larger lots, but I'm sure a happy price can be found to fully satisfy everyone! Whomever might buy these beauties will not be disappointed regardless of cost, they'll truly be worth every penny invested. PSAing and resale will be fantastic, I'm sure, I just don't have the time to it right now. Thanks again for the very nice welcomes and the url link and, as always: Happy Collecting!

Rookies 1 & 2 and Specials 1 to the pics section at PhotoBucket. Check 'em out and see what you think.....
If you like what you see, email me an offer on what you'd pay for all these pristine beauties, or go back to watching Disney XD. If you like what you see, email an offer, and if it's proper, they are all yours. If the offer is NOT proper, they are NOT all yours. My point here is check them all out on Photobucket and make me an offer. Again, make me an offer for all you see, and if the offer is acceptable, you will obtain, immediately, all these unique cards. I attempt to clarlify my position: If you like my beautiful, pristine cards and wish to buy them, please make me an offer 'I can't refuse' and all these fantastic one-owners are all yours to drool over. I cannot stress enough the identifier that 'If you truly like what you see of the pics I have posted at Photobucket, and you wish to purchase these cards I have posted of the pics of up to Photobucket, please send me an offer of the price you wish to offer for all these luscious cards so I can either accept or deny your said offer'. I don't want to go all Yogi Berra with the conversation here, my point is 'If you like what you see, make me an offer, most here know Baseball Cards and their PSA values, so make me an offer (that does not insult me) and if this offer is acceptable, and fair, I will ship, immediately, all these cards to your home address without any further hesitation what-so-ever. So, to recap: If you like the one-owner beauties you see, email me at Hatussas63 @ gmail .com and after I get the bucks and they clear, (insurance and shipping costs on the buyer) You will immediately have these rarities shipped to you directly, at whatever address you wish to specify to have shipped to. Again, to reclarify the reclarification, please look at the scans and make me an offer on what you see and my reply to your offer will be direct and fully reflective of any offers ensued. I can no longer reclarify on past reclarifications as to state that if you like what you see in the PhotoBucket scans just email me an offer and if it it is worthy, all these gems are yours, forever. (and, as is clear, I am a giant fan Of Monty Python and can reclarify this point, as necessary, to reclarify any past reclarifications as reclarifed by any past reclarifications related to clarifications, directly related/ and or/ non-related, to any clarifications here-to-for-with).
since you most astutely state , most here know psa values , I would like to state that most here know psa grading. unfortunately since you are not a collector and not aware of grading. regardless if the cards are one owner or beauties in your eyes, they are not going to be beauties in the eyes of a psa grader. you obviously did a little research which I commend you for since you felt the need to post johnny briggs. johnny briggs is a common and there is a reason his card has value in a psa 9. your 2 cards are that reason, the card is usually found horribly cut and with horrible print. I wish you luck in your sale but you need to come back from dreamland and realize that you do not have your retirement fund sitting in front of you and you do not have something that collectors of graded cards are going to salivate over and bid each other into the stratosphere.

Sorry on the lateness of my reply here, I had to hit the mountains over the weekend. Please don't get all upset with my previous post, I wasn't being a twit, I just come from the Monty Python/Yogi Berra school of poetic prose. I am not claiming my cards are gem by any means. They've been sealed airtight in anti acidic/anti UV bags since '78 and I'm just saying they are pretty much as perfectly flat and glossy as back when they were printed. The gloss when held up to the light actually hurts my eyes and they are all mostly as flat as glass with zero surface wear apparent. I want to sell as lots because, having collected comics for 35+ year, I know that cherry-picked collections lose their values very fast. Sorry things didn't work out, I'll just hang on to them and get them graded later on down the road. As always: Happy collecting!

Word of advice, do not waste your money on having these card graded.
