1984 Donruss Baseball - the unofficial but legal thread

ArnyVee · November 28, 2006 11:58PM

The 10s can go as high as $650 or so....usually they end somewhere in the $500-600 range though depending on who's fightin' it out for them.

I added a couple of upgrades and one hard to find sucker to my set. So, now I'm inching closer to #1 All-Time on the basic set also!

Bkritz · December 1, 2006 3:39AM

Hey Donruss'ers.

I need a few cards to complete a RAW 84 Donruss set. Can anyone help? nm-mt or better, please.

12 Knight DK
97 Dawson
107 Molitor
116 Seaver
475 Hendrick

I can offer up a psa 9 84 Piniella if someone can help me finish this raw set. Or, if someone wants it, just say the word, it would come with a psa 9 MINT NQ Mattingly # 248. $90 delivered.

Thanks a Million.

These are back from my latest submission. I could not help but share my excitement. They have gone into my Perez collection:

alnavman · December 2, 2006 1:23AM

WOW, those are two sweet Perez cards.....since I still need him for my set I am jealous!!

Stingray · December 3, 2006 9:27PM

Just registered my set was at #17, but now #18. I see that Redspydy66 has entered a set, going for all 10s?? I have seen that name several times on Ebay, though is he on here?? Well there seems to be quite a lot of upgrades and additions to everyone's sets. Makes for fun watching. I think I will be able to stick with this set!!

ArnyVee · December 3, 2006 10:29PM

Kirk, not only is it a great set, but with a great group of collectors and that helps a lot when trying to keep your focus on a set.

Congrats on being in the top 20! Let me know about the deal we discussed when you get a chance.

That might have to be on hold for a bit!! Just bought a Wii yesterday for the family Christmas present!!

ArnyVee · December 4, 2006 6:00AM

Nothing yet on a small sub from 11/3.....sheesh...

Anyone else have any luck?

ArnyVee · December 4, 2006 7:06AM

By the way, after today's cards that I received through the mail....I'm now at #1 in both the basic and master sets!

blindflyer · December 4, 2006 7:54AM

Congrats, Arny!

ArnyVee · December 4, 2006 11:18AM

I added these on the "mail" thread, but had to add it to our thread as well.....

ArnyVee · December 4, 2006 11:23AM

Thanks Tom!

rvc · December 4, 2006 11:36AM

nice job with those 10's. keep me in mind if u get any i need!

ArnyVee · December 4, 2006 11:40AM

I'll keep an eye out for you rvc!

Stingray · December 4, 2006 9:18PM

Congrats Arny!!

I had a question on comparing cards graded from wax and factory sets. Besides the borders being thinner, I was wondering if the green ink on the back is darker on factory cards. Do not know if it has been mentioned, but I think it is a darker shade of green on the factory cards??

Wow, nice job there. Can't wait to see where that puts you in the set registery.

ArnyVee · December 7, 2006 9:14PM

Great job Tom!

Couple of toughies in there with some 9s and a couple of 10s! You definitely have the eye for the '84 Donruss!

blindflyer · December 7, 2006 11:32PM

thanks guys ....

getting nine 10's was a bit of a surprise.

overall:
nine 10's
twenty-three 9's
four 8's

I'll take it any day of the week!

... and, several of the 10's were pop 2 and the Sutter DK Steele 9 was a pop 2 (with no 10's).

definitely pleased!

alnavman · December 9, 2006 7:04AM

Hey Arny, sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well....get better SOON!!!

al.

blindflyer · December 9, 2006 11:24PM

Guys,

I'm trying to understand value ...

What does a pop2 PSA10 common go for on ebay on average?
pop3?

I know that high pops usually go anywhere from $8-20.

thoughts?

-t

ArnyVee · December 9, 2006 11:55PM

Pop 2 PSA 10s usually go for $25 to $35. If it's a Yankee or minor star then it would be closer to $30-$40.

You usually get more bang for the buck when trading those lower pop cards though.

blindflyer · December 10, 2006 1:52PM

page turn

blindflyer · December 10, 2006 1:52PM

c'mon ... page turn, dammit!

blindflyer · December 10, 2006 1:54PM

Thanks Arny ...

Trying to decide what to do, really...

-t

mosaic · December 10, 2006 2:37PM

Say, blindflyer and everyone else that sometimes posts to "turn the page" (so to speak)... just wanted to remind you that the # of messages displayed per page is a setting that can be changed using the Customize link above. I don't know whether the default is 10 or 20, but mine is set to 30.

So, what might look like the top post or first post on a page to you might not actually be the top or first post for others.

Just sayin...

alnavman · December 11, 2006 6:26AM

how's everyone doing??? still waiting on two submissions from PSA....how's your turnaround time been? one was an 80 card submission, the other was a 44 card submission under the $5 special.....the second was mostly 84 Donruss.....

alnavman · December 11, 2006 6:28AM

I think when they talk about the page turn they mean it's aggravating that you post a message and you can' see it......then you post another two or three and like magic the page turns to the next page and allyour messages show up.........sort of what I'm doing now.....this is my second message, let's see if the page changes for me..........I know that bug has a message out there in no man's land right now also........al.

alnavman · December 11, 2006 6:31AM

ok, right now if I go to the thread it shows my name as the last one to respond, yet the last message I see when I open the 84 Donruss link is the message from MOSAIC........where are my three messages and the one from the bug.....al.

alnavman · December 11, 2006 6:36AM

sorry bug, you didn't have a message out there......my oops.....and now the page has turned.......everything is right with the world....also if anyone is interested let me know before it goes to ebay...this is a Thornton STEELE version....it is mislabeled......

Bkritz · December 11, 2006 6:53AM

Wouldn't it be great if Don West collected 1984 Donruss gem mint 10s?

ArnyVee · December 12, 2006 10:50PM

blindflyer · December 13, 2006 1:38PM

Finally got my sub back from PSA (had to go pick it up at FedEx) ....

It was a 37 card sub ... here are some of the highlights!

Arny, the Ray Burris, Danny Jackson, and Enos Cabell came from our Box Bust a few months back. I'm ready for another!

-Tom

ArnyVee · December 13, 2006 1:50PM

I'm ready for another box bust as soon as others are ready! We can split it four ways ($50 each includes all fees & shipping) and end up with 9 packs each!

blindflyer · December 13, 2006 2:02PM

Arny,

You know I'm in ...

... just need two more.

-t

Stingray · December 13, 2006 9:46PM

I would like to, but with Christmas so close and other things, I can't!!

I need a favor if possible, anyone with a Kent Tekulve #410, can you scan a copy on here for comparison. I have a PSA 9 and it has some white smearing on it on the dirt in the infield to the left of Kent, looks to be part of the photo and not on the card itself. I have only been able to locate an autograph one on Ebay and this white does not appear on it. I will try and get a scan of my card tomorrow.

Kirk

ArnyVee · December 14, 2006 3:06AM

Doh! Sorry Kirk, I forgot to get that scan to you. I'll try and do it tomorrow and posting it here.

BugOnTheRug · December 14, 2006 3:12AM

Arny - did you get your 11/3 results? I'm STILL waiting on my tall-boy special.

I learned my lesson - next time I'm gonna write 'CC special' 196 times on the box.

ArnyVee · December 14, 2006 3:28AM

Still waitin'....stinks.

alnavman · December 14, 2006 5:52AM

You know what guys,.....I think they are just backed up......I have two submissions that are still out there....one from 11/15 and a second one that I mailed on 11/30 that hasn't even been entered on the site yet. From other threads I've been seeing similar complaints or facts if you may.......maybe they all went on christmas vacation....

Arny: If you need another person for the box break, let me know.
