1979 Pete Rose OPC PSA 9 jsut sold for $395 on Ebay!

I know this is a very difficult card to find centered but all I can say is WOW at $395!

I just found this card in 1 of the boxes I picked up in Vancouver. This card looks to be just a bit better centered than the PSA 9 on Ebay

You keep finding gold nuggets!

Way to go Tom!

That is a nice Rose you have there. I vote to submit it....looks like a solid 9 with a slight tilt.

begsu1013

nice! have 2 of the opc 9s and didn't pay anywhere near that!!!! keep waiting for psa to add opc player sets, which has to be any year now....

tsalems1

Check this baby out!

This Johnny Bench card has a pop 1 in PSA 8! Also, there are ONLY 2 PSA 6's and NO PSA 7's!

VCP shows the PSA 8 sold for $293 back in 2008!

Sharp cards, Tom! Is there a slight notch on bottom edge of the Rose? If not, you have at least a shot at a 9 on that one. I would say you also have a shot at an 8 on the Bench.

Thanks Tim. I went back to check that spot on the bottom. There is no lift or notch on the edge. That spot has just a little more of a rough cut in that spot.

begsu1013

that bench is sharp and a tough year to find those one's centered. I am constantly looking for a rose (all star/sporting news) of that year and it is completely plagued w/ centering issues....

Tom, those 2 cards are amazing. I have never seen a copy of that Bench that is even close to that one. The Rose is simply amazing with the nice rough cut. Well done!

I have the only psa 10 rose 1979 opc, but yours looks promising. Im hoping not for my sake, but it should be a 9 at least. Great card.

Sweet cards Tom, always love the OPC!

jgrigali

that's a nice bench, and it may be my exhasution from a 12 mile run before work talking, but does it look like it's got a bit of a diamond cut?

firedawg45

nice rose tom. as a well known rose collector the $395 price is just above the average i think. think i paid $350 for mine..after the well known rose master set owners have it it still stays strong. good luck on the bench thinking psa 7 on that which is still a nice card. tough 70 opc issue, my rose all star is a psa 7.

Awesome color and registration on that Ryan, Tom!

<< <i>Awesome color and registration on that Ryan, Tom! >>



Yes, it does have a very slight tilt though. Should be a easy 9

Nice Ryan, Tom. It looks like it would meet PSA 9 perimeters.

Awesome cards Tom!

22 1 23308346 NEAR MINT 7 1976 O-Pee-Chee 240 Pete Rose Card

This is now a POP 2 with only 2 higher. NO VCP sales showing on any of the grades

Even in a PSA 7, this will command good coin

jmaciu

Wow, congrats again for the 76 Rose. That set is so tough. I have a PSA 7 Morgan, which I believe is a pop 2 with one higher.

WOW TOM! Best of luck with that $ale!

begsu1013

I have a psa 7 in the 76...showing pop 3 from "my inventory" pop report....assuming you just got this grade tonight? if so, will kick to a 4 tomorrow am....

tsalems1

PSA pop report shows POP 1 in PSA 7.

Tomorrow it should show as pop 2

PSA 8 shows 1 straight 8 and 2 with qualifiers

1976 O-PEE-CHEE 240 PETE ROSE 7 3 3 $355.00 4/19/14

this is a copy and paste from my inventory pop report...

psa 7, pop 3, 3 higher

begsu1013

i have seen differences before in this...and trust me i hope it is only a pop 2!

its a tough one for sure! i'd like to find a nice centered ryan in a 7 or above. i have a 9oc, but just not the same in my opinion....

tsalems1

Something is wrong then.

Here is the PSA pop report...

It shows a pop 1 and 2 higher with straight grades

LINK

begsu1013

wouldn't be the 1st time. I've seen it bounce back and forth before on a few rare cards (and not so rare cards as well)...i also think it factors qualified cards differently, correct?

meaning an 8oc would show higher on the "my inventory" pop report than a pop 7....i never really use the public pop reports though. i add it to "my inventory" and gauge it off that, but agreed they should be the same.

you plan on selling or keeping? you know im always in the market for high grade ryans n roses!

begsu1013

but then looking at your link there's seven of the 9ocs, which i guess are supposed to be equiv to 7's, right? so what's listed in mine, doesn't really make sense either...

mine should read pop 10

Dpeck100

Congrats Tom!

Pop report this morning shows PSA 7-2, PSA 8-1, PSA 9-1

I noticed somebody has this BVG 9.5 listed right now. I don't know that it would cross to a PSA 10, but the centering sure is nice considering what's typical 1976 OPC baseball.

At $2,555.00 obo, they're probably reasonably far off of what the sale price would actually be. Another BVG 9.5 did not sell under Probstein auction starting at $1,995.00.

begsu1013

that card was from a hand cut sheet. I know, because I tried!

not too far off though if it woulda crossed to at least a 9....

Tom,

I was sweating that one. It looks great Congrats.

tsalems1

Lol!!!

I know you were.

I may resub

Great score!

Would love to find a 1979 OPC Schmidt in PSA 10.

I remember popping the first 1979 OPC Schmidt in PSA 9 a number of years ago. Although the 1979s are relatively plentiful compared to, say, 1974 or 1976, they are certainly crazy hard in top grade.
