Craig Nettles and Jim Nettles

Don't think Stanley could get much cheaper!

ArnyVee · November 3, 2006 5:19AM

Gardner for less than $20 and Stanley for $6? What is this world coming to?! Great deals on both of those!

Buddy was a rookie in 72......( but not on a rookie card)

Odom was not who i was referring to.....so i guess there are two NBA sons .

The Mel Queen in this set is a son.

Ed Crosby is not in this set...???

ArnyVee · November 4, 2006 8:57AM

Updated my set with the #720 & #734 cards along with an upgrade here and there. I'm now sitting at 99.49%

EOMINT · November 4, 2006 10:23AM

Does anyone remember how to order PSA set boxes...I have my 72 set all in those boxes and am doing 71 now and cant remember where on the site you can order them.. Thanks

<< Does anyone remember how to order PSA set boxes...I have my 72 set all in those boxes and am doing 71 now and cant remember where on the site you can order them.. Thanks >>

I thought it was under the PSA Products link, but it's not there now.

GDM67 · November 4, 2006 5:58PM

I'll administer a Heimlich so I can see Joe's post...

GDM67 · November 4, 2006 5:58PM

This is so silly...

[EDIT]: Success!

lostdart58 · November 5, 2006 5:28PM

How is this card a PSA 9 with that horrible small stain. I suppose the rough cut can be forgiven.

bri2327 · November 5, 2006 10:07PM

They guy at PSA probably sneezed on the card just before slabbing it.

diamondman · November 6, 2006 3:59AM

How did this one get a 8 when the centering on the back should have given it a MC
Linky

lostdart58 · November 6, 2006 4:28AM

<< How did this one get a 8 when the centering on the back should have given it a MC

There is small border on the left side.....hense it isn't actually MC....just very OC......but that is allowable. ( 5-95)

A very small border and I thought it was 90/10 and at one point it looks like the border disappears, one reason I didnot bid on it, for the money and it being a superstar I'll wait for a little better centered one.
the nine with the stain looks worse . ouch

lowstartmick · November 6, 2006 8:11AM

I noticed the spot on the Aaron 9 but bid anyway, heck if I could have removed the spot and had a shot at a 10 on a resub...

I really want a nice 8 that I would keep but the last 8 didn't fit the bill. No way of trimming the card to even it up.

EOMINT · November 6, 2006 8:41AM

Well, I jut got the last card needed for my set the Dave Marshall in a 9 in the mail...Ill be entering it tonite, which will take me to 100% complete in all 9s and 10s. Never thought Id get to this point...onward and upward to the 71s!!!

EO

ArnyVee · November 6, 2006 9:22AM

Wow! Congrats on the completion of the set! That Dave Marshall sure is/was a tough one, huh?

Go forth and conquer those '71s EOMint!

lostdart58 · November 6, 2006 12:11PM

EO,

Congrats on sticking it out and finishing the set...........I would be curious to find out whose hands you pried that Marshall from.....

....but won't ask cause I probably wouldn't get an answer.

Jami

Never mind....i figured it out..........

ArnyVee · November 6, 2006 10:46PM

I'm working on acquiring a couple of tough cards.... enter mad scientist laugh here .... "BWAHAHAHA!" ......

lostdart58 · November 6, 2006 10:54PM

<< I'm working on acquiring a couple of tough cards.... enter mad scientist laugh here .... "BWAHAHAHA!" ......

BWAHAHAHA You say!

I have a package coming also.......with two of the cards i need...........ONE card to go!!

joemaggio · November 8, 2006 8:11AM

Oh, what a sad day! I've been banned from bidding on auctions by "snake120_0"

He's mad because I filed a claim with PayPal when the card I paid for hadn't arrived after 14 days. I sent him a note and he said that the card had shipped on "Friday the 24th." The auction ended on Tuesday, October 24. I waited a couple more days and no card, so I opened a dispute with PayPal. A couple more days go by with no response from snake120_0, so I escalated it to a claim. On 11/8, the card arrived - postmarked 10/25, so I closed the claim and left positive feedback.

Now he says I didn't communicate well and was too quick to file a claim.

So now I've been banned...

....but you did get that barton IA for a good price.....

joemaggio · November 8, 2006 11:17AM

<< ....but you did get that barton IA for a good price.....

Yes, I did... and Arny got my original PSA 8 NQ Barton IA for even less! The new one was centered a little better.

benderbroeth · November 8, 2006 2:01PM

i love this set i have almost the entire set raw but dont think i will go for a graded set just to many cards but i do love this set!

lostdart58 · November 8, 2006 10:37PM

MY GOD!! The 10 cent Buy-it-now listing day added 700 items to my 72 Topps PSA search................lots of overprized items.............I did see a few bargains, none of which i needed

Cepeda PSA 8 for $9.99

A couple of PSA 9 commons for $10.00......

I got a headache looking through the listings.......

lostdart58 · November 8, 2006 10:37PM

page turn...

joemaggio · November 9, 2006 12:23AM

yepbg and 707 Sportscards always make me laugh... I wonder if they ever sell anything?

sagard · November 9, 2006 1:05AM

<< yepbg and 707 Sportscards always make me laugh... I wonder if they ever sell anything? >>

707 did at least $150K via Ebay last time during the $0.20 special. Makes their listing fees worth it I'm sure.

joemaggio · November 9, 2006 4:14AM

Are these cards real variations or not?

#378 Fourth Series Checklist small print on front
#478 Fifth Series Checklist LARGE print on front

I have both Third Series Checklist variations, but I've never seen the two listed above.

Joe,

there are two 478s

diamondman · November 10, 2006 11:34AM

I screwed up what happens if you forget to mark the outside package as what submission it is?
A: goes into the problem Pile?
B. They throw it in the bonfire out back?
C. ??????????

joemaggio · November 11, 2006 2:31AM

<< what happens if you forget to mark the outside package as what submission it is? >>

I think that's how 4SC get all their cards...

Actually, I think that just means it might take longer to get opened and logged. Only really a problem if you've paid for a short turnaround time. I've had packages marked properly that got logged anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks.

lostdart58 · November 17, 2006 12:04AM

A fellow collector was kind enough to provide me the oppotunity to purchase an Expos team card plus the #224 World Series card I traded away.......................THANK YOU!!......they were both added to my set today.

One card to go, ( #512 Wayne Garrett).........................it is presently sitting on my desk in an ungraded state.

ArnyVee · November 17, 2006 12:12AM

Congrats Jami!

And, good luck with that Garrett when you get it graded!

bri2327 · November 18, 2006 8:09AM

Im looking for Yankees in PSA 8 or better for my team set. If anyone has any extras please let me know. Thanks.

lostdart58 · November 28, 2006 3:42AM

WOW...did this Wilhelm go cheap.................and with 8 bids.

I was watching it and forgot about it......

ArnyVee · November 28, 2006 6:50AM

Wow, you were sleepin' on that one, huh Jami?

Maybe next time. Great price on that one.

joemaggio · November 28, 2006 7:47AM

<< I was watching it and forgot about it...... >>

Me too.

lostdart58 · November 29, 2006 1:20AM

Congrats to Joe Maggio as his set has gone 100%..........

RayBShotz · November 29, 2006 1:24AM

Awesome Joe! That's a behemoth of an accomplishment. 787 Cards! Yikes!
RayB

ArnyVee · November 29, 2006 4:41AM

Way to go Joe! I see that you got the deal done!

Hope to join you soon! Only two more to finish the set!

Need/Want List.....

150 N.Cash (Have a PSA 7)
532 F.Kendall (Have a PSA 9OC)
582 Montreal Expos Team Card (Have a PSA 7)
708 T.Foli IA
723 A.Santorini

....that's two more to finish the set and an additional three to be all PSA 8 or better!

Someone help me!

FB · November 29, 2006 6:54AM

Congrats Joe!

Between the size and the toughness of some of the commons in PSA 8, that 100% mark is a real accomplishment!!! GREAT JOB!

Frank B

joemaggio · November 29, 2006 7:48AM

Thanks, to all.

A fellow Registry member stepped up and helped me out... hopefully, the 30 cards I sent his way helped him out too. Thanks, Jason!

I still need to upgrade 4 PSA 7's though. The same ones everybody needs...

Hal McRae In Action
Hank Aaron In Action
Expos Team
Al Santorini

Anybody wanna help me out?

ArnyVee · November 30, 2006 9:40AM

These two puppies arrived today along with #228 in PSA 8 as well!
