Thinking of selling the #1 - 1972 O-PEE-CHEE Baseball Registry set

lynnfrank

My question is whether I should post here or on Buy, Sell, Trade to gauge interest before taking conversations private?

Wow, a post from the former 72 Topps baseball king Frank Bakka! 1972 was the first set I worked on graded, and I always admired your fortitude for completing that monster set in such a high grade, especially at a time when pops were much lower.

Anyway, to answer your question I would post in BST where you will get a lot more looks.

Wow, great stuff you've got there! I would definitely suggest you place a call to Tom Salem about your 1972 OPC set.

A reputable auction house is the best bet for this set.

There is no Carew ? Salmon ? Garrido ? or Murrell ? or Oglivie ? in the 72 OPC ?

WOW!!!

I actually did speak with Tom Salem about the set after the question appeared on the board. And as of last night - a deal was struck that both I and the buyer are happy with. My set will be retired and it won't be long before a new 72 OPC Baseball King emerges!

Thanks bobsbbcards. Yes I am happy. Slightly less than I wanted, but slightly more than the buyer wanted to pay. I thought about breaking it up so no one person could claim the top spot on the Registry for a while. But, in the end it's someone that I've dealt with before - much simpler as a single deal - and a very easy transaction.

Frank - Congrats on the sale. I always thought of you as the original King of the 72's!
Been a long time.
