If I remember my trivia right I think Diego Segui was the starting pitcher for the Mariner's in their first game ever. If not him it was some other old guy like him!
fiercely competitve set, particularly low pop 9s (5 or fewer) and virtually any 10. A year ago, I could buy 10s for $225 pretty easily. Now, it is pretty common to see the $500 price tag on 10s. From about April of 2007 forward, there has been a steep climb in the prices. I am staying out of the bidding wars since I believe that the pops will change dramatically over the next few years. There has already been a significant increase in 9s and 10s over the past year. Some cards may not change much due to various factors but to me it's too risky to pay this kind of money for 10s until the pop of raw 75 minis has thinned significantly. But, if you have lots of disposable income, and you don't mind a possible loss (on paper), go for it.

I agree with Cravetopps. It's not uncommon to see PSA 10 commons sell for anywhere between $400 - $700 these days. Just a week or two ago a Reggie Jackson and a Yaz PSA 10 sold for over $4,000 each. Too rich for my blood . . .

Segui pitched for the Seattle Pilots (didn't the back of his card back then say he enjoyed C**K Fighting) and was the starting pitcher on Opening Night for the M's in 1977. Lost to Frank Tanana and the Angels.

RIP GURU
There are three 10's, five 9's, fourteen 8's and so on...
I'd be interested in geting some insight from a 75T mini guru as well.

Not sure what is considered super low, but only five 9's is low with the amount of people collecting this set.
