And dropped them off to PSA at the show in NY.

24 cards in all and 20 should be graded 10 (we'll see).

3 HOFers -- Yaz, Sutton and Carlton

    If you get 20 10s out of 24 cards you better go back and get the rest of those packs. I am betting you are in for a serious letdown if you are expecting that many 10s.

    Sweet, I hope you get all 10's. Where did you find these at?

    These packs have been sitting in a closet in Mom's house for 30+ years.

    We had a cousin from Canada who send them to my brother and I in 1975. But since they were OPC, we felt they were inferior to Topps (we should thank our lucky stars for ignorance). As a kid, I remember opening one and putting it back in the wrapper.. French writing, ewwwwwww! 2 more seemed to open on their own (weather over the years) and 2 more were still closed and I'm having those graded as well.

    I guess we'll see in about 60 days, but I am standing firm on my guess of 20. They were absolutely gorgeous.

    please post the results when you get them , having opened about 10 different boxes of opc's from the 70's in the last few years , here is my guess on your grades

    2 - 9's
    10 8's
    4 - 9 oc's
    4 7's

    I hope I am wrong but good luck.

    I would guess that to be about right. I have opened a bunch of OPC 70's as well, submitted upwards of 300 cards from the rips and have gotten a mere ONE 10.

    This is a travesty.

    Anything worth resubmitting?

    I had two 1972 OPC from Baseball Card Kid that were graded 10.

    The only two in the sub, I believe. Must have been very lucky that day.

    You don't grade much do you? If you get one 10, you should be elated.

    Used to grade all the time. Quit for now.

    The thing echo needs to understand is that it's near impossible to get 20/24 PSA 10's from 2002 Topps, let alone a condition-sensitive nightmare like 75 OPC. I'm guessing he's never submitted vintage for grading and doesn't own many graded cards. I'm also guessing that most of the cards are tilted, OC, have print marks, and all the other crap that is common for 70s OPC. And lastly, I'm guessing he hasn't looked at them under a loupe. If he can get 10 PSA 9's out of the lot I'll be really impressed.

    Edit to say- I'm also not sure he realizes that 20 PSA 10 '75 OPC with stars like Yaz, Carlton and Sutton would be roughly worth $6,000-$8,000. Also worth noting, there are a total of 35 total PSA 10's in the entire '75 OPC set out of 1800 total cards graded. I'm not really trying to dash his hopes and dreams, just being realistic.

    Well, I appreciate all the comments/feedback.
    And yes, I do not own many graded cards. This new part of collecting is entirely new to me.
    And 20/24 was probably quite an over-estimate, but we'll see.
    The cards were MAGNIFICANT. The sharpest corners I have ever seen. A few may have been OC as well as MC.

    Thank you CDSnuts. You said exactly what I have wanted to say all day but couldn't figure out how to say it so it came across nice. The fact that there are only 35 ever graded 10 is a great point. If I saw any sub that came away with 20 of 24 10's, it would be one of the best subs I have ever seen.

    the last 48 ct box I opened yielded 4 psa 10's and about 20 psa 9's to put things into perspective
  • PasadenaMudSlidePasadenaMudSlide Posts: 732
    The tilts were brutal for this issues. Miscuts were very prevalent as well.

    Good luck!

    75 OPCs are horribly OC for the most part, though I did pull two POP 1 PSA 10s in my last sub after opening about 5-6 packs. I think I was lucky, though, as some packs did not yield even one gradeable card.
