Pagey Turny Thingy...

lostdart58 · November 30, 2006 9:52AM

Try not to trade away that Mcrae IA this time..........

ArnyVee · November 30, 2006 9:58AM

LOL

I don't think so. Not this time....I hated trading that thing away.

That deal way back then was way too sweet not to take. Ended up getting me probably half of those darn low pop commons that everyone needed.

I can offer $400 if you take paypal. PM me if this is agreeable with you.

lostdart58 · December 2, 2006 1:35AM

Jason,

How did you do on selling that Cepeda PSA 9?

just curious.......jami

EOMINT · December 2, 2006 2:54AM

Jason, that'd be fine...I dont know how to PM, so can u email me at eolander@yahoo.com w your address and I'll get the cards out to you...you can just send me a personal check I dont use paypal.

EO

jason045 · December 3, 2006 12:46AM

I think I ended up getting about $280 or $285 for the Cepeda. Whats funny is I started the bidding at $100 but I had a buy it now of $260 with free insured shipping. The winner ended up paying about $35 more than he had to once you factor in shipping and insurance.

joemaggio · December 3, 2006 1:03AM

Jason -

I'll bet the winner didn't place the first bid, so he probably never saw the Buy-It-Now option. If he was the first bidder, he made a mistake by thinking he could et it for less than $280.

PM me if any of the PSA 9's you bought from EOMINT are for sale... I need about 10 of them.

lostdart58 · December 3, 2006 2:57AM

72's collaspe sell all your psa 9's to me for 5.00 ea dlvd72 's cheap

joemaggio · December 5, 2006 7:58AM

I picked up a Santorini today. Would have got it cheaper except for one crazy bidder running me up. Thanks, Arny!

Piman58 · December 7, 2006 12:27AM

Inspired by the posts on this topic I have started the long journey of trying to complete this set in PSA 7 or better.
Entering my simple collection of 13 graded 72's I have zoomed up the registry to #81 and have an amazing 1.65%
of the set completed. I have some 72's at Newport Beach now being graded under the November special.

For those at the top of the registry, consider yourselves very safe. But for #80 through #50, beware the Piman.

The 72 set marked the beginning of high school for me and the approaching end of collecting cards as a teenager.
Most of the cards that I use for my registry will be from my collection as a teenager. Holes will be filled and cards
graded as my meager funds will allow. I hope to complete this project before I retire in 13 years.

mcastaldi · December 7, 2006 12:30AM

Piman> Considering how many PSA8s can be picked up for the costs of grading or less, I'd really suggest setting your sights higher.

Piman> Considering how many PSA8s can be picked up for the costs of grading or less, I'd really suggest setting your sights higher.

Piman, Mike is right on the money. Should go for the 8's. I just picked up HOF Frank Robinson for $9.99 yesterday.

Mark

ArnyVee · December 7, 2006 12:41AM

Welcome aboard Piman!

You can end up picking up many commons and minor stars in PSA 8 for less than $10. So, don't limit yourself to 7s. But, with the star cards and low pop common players, I could see going with 7s and then maybe upgrading down the line sometime.

Good luck with your quest and keep us updated!

EOMINT · December 7, 2006 9:03AM

Lets get real folks, its all about 9s and 10s...who wants fuzzy corners???

lostdart58 · December 7, 2006 9:35AM

If you really want to put together the set in PSA 7s, I would suggest you contact 4SC or DSL............I bet they have plenty to sell ya cheap.

joemaggio · December 7, 2006 12:37PM

<< <i>Lets get real folks, its all about 9s and 10s...who wants fuzzy corners???

>>

I do! As long as they're on the Expos Team or the Aaron In Action!

lostdart58 · December 7, 2006 12:42PM

...

mcastaldi · December 8, 2006 4:14AM

Piman> Seriously, 4SC has a boatload of 72T PSA8s up with opening bids of $5 each. Why not throw in a ton of $5 bids and see how many you win for that?

And now that I look at it, there are a lot of 72T up right now with Buy-It-Now @ $6 each.

Mike

NickM · December 10, 2006 8:59AM

If you follow 4SC's selling practices carefully, you'll see that most of the 1972 Topps PSA 8s (and indeed other cards) with BINs at $6 were previously unsold at a $5 opening bid. They also sometimes put the unsold at $5 cards up for a $4 BIN - I have picked up a couple dozen '72 Topps PSA 8 cards from them (with a large number of 5th series commons included) at $4 each plus shipping.

BTW, is it just me, or does the Tim Cullen card often have ugly print marks on the upper left side? [I have 2 PSA 8s, both of which look so bad IMO that I'm not registering either.]

Here is my Cullen although PSA 9:

Good luck on your set.......patience will allow you to put together the set at a decent price......You may have to bid on the same card 6 times but eventually you will get it at your price.

joemaggio · December 15, 2006 3:35PM

We need a post, we're all the way back to page three!

I picked up one of the 2006 Topps Target-Exclusive Mantle Relic cards today. I'm not sure, but I think I got a swatch of the Mick's boxer shorts.

ArnyVee · December 16, 2006 12:31AM

Boy, I struck out on both Cash 8s. Can't seem to get that card in my collection.

I have a nice 7, but that 8 continues to elude me. I don't want to overpay, but it seems that I'm going to have to if I want it.

Piman58 · December 16, 2006 12:34AM

Arny,
The Cash 8 will come soon. I sent in a Cash hoping to get the 8 for you, but I
overestimated its quality and only pulled a 6.

ArnyVee · December 16, 2006 12:54AM

I'll get it someday Piman. I'm two away from 100% and 5 away from all PSA 8 or better completion!

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

diamondman · December 16, 2006 2:11AM

Hit 50% complete GPA 8.22, Still need alot of toughies , but aleast the glass is half empty or is that half full either way time to celebrate I'm parched, no wonder it's after 12:00 PM and I have not had a beer yet??

but O'D in Denver and I just can't remember her name ?

FB · December 16, 2006 10:11PM

The Cash was a tough one for me to come up with in PSA 9 for the longest time. When I retired my 72 set, I was down to 8 PSA 8's left. I believe that the Cash was one of the last 6 PSA 9's that I upgraded after 6 years - so keep at it! You'll eventually find the right combination of patience and money!

Frank

ArnyVee · December 16, 2006 10:16PM

Yup, patience is definitely something that you must utilize with this set!

lostdart58 · December 18, 2006 12:40PM

Hey Joe,

I see you added that McRae IA card in an "8"......

..............two more upgrades to go!!

Jami

joemaggio · December 18, 2006 1:58PM

Thanks, Jami!

Two tough upgrades to go. I've tried to be conservative in my bidding over the years, but I think I'm gonna have to bid really high to get the Expos Team and the Aaron IA in PSA 8 NQ. I will though, because I really want to finish this one.

Thanks to fellow board members Jason and Dwayne who were cool enough to trade me the Foli IA and the McRae IA!

My goal now is to buy enough PSA 9 commons to get to 8.50!

alnavman · December 19, 2006 4:58AM

Figured this thread would provide reliable estimates...any ideas on what these might bring???? thanks al.

alnavman · December 19, 2006 5:00AM

One other question, can you help in identifying some of the cards that are hard to find from this set....the set I pulled the four cards from may have some help for those striving to complete this set.....they are not all nm-mt, for example the Fisk was a mess and the Mays card came back 7OC but there may be something there....al.

ArnyVee · December 19, 2006 5:25AM

Al, the regular Rose and the Clemente should be around $60 to $100 depending on who's bidding. Last Clemente went for just over $100 (Clemente PSA 8) and another went for $92 (Clemente PSA 8). But, another one ended at $54 (PSA 8 Clemente). As far as the Yaz, one went for $26 BIN (Yaz PSA 8), so it's somewhere in the $20-30 neighborhood for that one.

There are lots of tough low pop cards out there. But, look for the ones that I need first!

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)

Al,

There are alot of tough cards in the set..........if you have access to the pop report figure any card with a pop in PSA 8 of 35 or under is tough....also any card in PSA 9 or better with a pop of 10 or less is tough.

If you do not have access to the pop report then go to Arny's set in the set registry....since most of his card are PSA 8 you will be able to figure out the populations there.

That Rose IA in PSA 9 should bring you a nice penny!!

Jami

jason045 · December 21, 2006 1:13AM

My grades from the November special just posted. Pretty nice overall. Pulled 8s on some of the tougher cards like McRae IA, Dietz IA, Harmon, Henderson, Houk, Marichal IA, and Grote. A little disappointed in the Henderson and the McRae IA. I was expecting 9s on those two. Sub #605582 zip 71251 if you want to check it out.

ArnyVee · December 21, 2006 2:18AM

FB · December 21, 2006 10:03PM

Jason,

These are the 800 count vendor cards you bought at the card store - aren't they? GREAT JOB!!!!!

Frank

jason045 · December 22, 2006 1:04AM

Most of them are from that vending lot, Frank. For those who don't know, I was lucky enough to buy an 800 count box of '72 commons for $150 from a local dealer. A guy came in the shop with an album full of '72 stars and the box full of commons. He said he'd had them since 1972 when he bought 2 vending boxes. The commons spanned the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th series. I havent had time to thouroughly check all the cards, but based on the shape of the few I pulled for the special, the results are promising.

alnavman · December 22, 2006 5:51AM

I went back thru the cards I had from this year to see if I could assist anyone but discovered why this appears to be a challenging set. Many OC cards, fuzzy photos, some miscuts....you guys sure must have spent some great amounts of time and effort to put together your sets....makes me jealous

of course in a good way!! Everyone have a great holiday weekend!!

FB · December 22, 2006 8:52AM

I'll say it again Jason - GREAT JOB!

We all hope to run across these types of deals, but since it doesn't happen that often - we have to live vicariously through posts like yours!!!

Frank

alnavman · December 27, 2006 9:49AM

If anyone interested I've listed my 1972 Pete Rose In Action PSA 9 on ebay today....saved a little on the listing fees so I'm happy....if interested take a look

Pete In Action PSA 9

I also listed his regular card from that year along with some basketball and other year baseball...

al.

lostdart58 · December 28, 2006 5:23AM

HHHmmmm,.........Bil Voss cards seem to be disappearing from the set registrys.......

I sense some sort of a trade..........

lostdart58 · December 28, 2006 8:14AM

I see Mastro has listed a set in the registry........I guess it is in their upcoming auction......

Incomplete with a bunch of 9OC cards in it..................I will be interested to see what it goes for.

kadokakid · December 28, 2006 8:44AM

I see a 72 set up for sale on Ebay, $45,000 something buy it now.

Peace
