What Year do Pop 1's not mean much?

NBTrading

Going through baseball population reports and noticing a lot of 0 in 10's for Topps as far back as 1985. Do you think there would be a premium for a 1/1 in 1985-90's or is there just to many
cards and not enough interest in those sets?

Thanks,
James

When no one is collecting the set.

for baseball, i would say 1985 would be the last year it would matter. Going forward after that, there remains thousands of cheap unopened products for topps in the market place. football would be 1987, hockey o-pee-chee 1988 and baskets 1988.

1988 O Pee Chee Hockey is not cheap.

One thing you can look at as well is how many cards have been subbed. If there are no tens it could be just as much due to lack of interest as it is any sort of value-making condition sensitivity.

The price drop between 1988 Fleer bsktball and 1989 is pretty amazing. I think it goes from $1,000 a box down to $80.

I've always looked at how many people are building the registry sets but I think your right about looking how many have been submitted would give a more accurate demand.

Agree. My rule of thumb has always been under 5% with at least 100 graded before I would even begin to consider something mainstream as "condition sensitive." But even then, you need a sample size larger than 100 when you're talking about a basic Topps release.

I'd bet a pop 1 psa 10 1986 topps baseball card would command a decent price, even for a common. But after that unless it's a star most people would probably prefer to submit to get their 10.

Agree, I would also say back to 1986.

I don't pay much attention to the registry or POP reports (not very bright of me). I would be curious to understand whether the 80s OPC Baseball gets much love from the registry.
