1970 Topps Basketball Set (Tall Boys)

JBrules

Hello everyone,
Since jumping back into collecting (last collected in 1987) I have really enjoyed catching up with all the changes (grading etc..) I figured I would start with the 1970 Tall-Boys as a registry set. I have jumped in have about 1/3 of the set with most PSA 8 or 9. I have found them to be plentiful in PSA 8 grade for sale on Ebay. I know the short prints are very difficult to find in 8's but have managed to snag a few of them so far. Can anyone that has collected this set clue me in to other players that are hard to find in high grade? With a lot of cards still remaining I want to make sure I don't miss an opportunity to snag a more difficult find when it becomes available. Any info. on this set would be appreciated. Is it just me or is it hard to find good centering even in PSA 8? Thanks.

The set is great. I'm at 84% 8.43 avg

For hard 2 get look up the PSA Pop report. It's free

u will find card #4 the hardest in 8 A few sp's like Neal walk, Bobby Smith, and Norm Van lier are difficult.

If u have a list I have some extras

It is a very popular set.

If your interested I am currently running a PSA set break on the 1970 Topps Basketball on EBAY. My seller name is SAINSTAME

I would love to bid on your short prints, but global shipping to Canada is prohibitive, less than 10 % to go to complete. If all don't sell please pm and maybe we can make a deal on the board.

Thanks

George, Unfortunately I just saw your message today. Believe me I would have definitely made a deal with you . I have some cards left from that SET BREAK, but I looked at you set and they would not help you. I do however have 2 cards (1968-74 HOF Bookmarks Bob Cousy PSA 3 $300 /Bob Davies PSA 5 $400) that are very rare and expensive that may interest you. I am trying very hard to update my 1974 Topps basketball set and you have 15 commons higher than mine that would serve as great collateral towards a deal. Contact me trough my Goodlieu 1974 topps set.
