Dan,
Awesome set. I think you priced it to sell. I am pretty tempted myself. The Williams looks really nice.

Let's see a scan of the Jab.

Wow, nice Richards!! I wish you would stop tempting me.

AWESOME cards!

New kitchen? They don't have Burger King in Imperial Beach?

stormsurge · January 14, 2008 11:30PM

Always have liked the look of this set. Hope it finds it a good home.

There is a Los Panchos less than a mile away, but some humans claim they can't live off of Bean & Cheese Burritos.....

1954 · January 15, 2008 5:58AM

Well you might as well finish up the set here by scanning the other 12.

that feller is cool

dstudeba · January 15, 2008 10:04AM

Ok, Ok, sorry to any bandwidth challenged folks.

1954 · January 16, 2008 5:29AM

Dan,
All of these cards look great and look under graded. The only one that looks right is the Slaughter which is not a bad 4. Love the color of the Pafko.

Thanks Shane,

As you know I have gone through a lot of Wilsons over the past 5 years. I will have to ask you to stop complimenting the set though as it makes it harder on me to go through with the sale!

1954 · January 16, 2008 11:01AM

Dan,
I sold mine and it was hard. I still have two Williams sitting in the safety deposit box along with 5 other cards graded PSA 5/6. I will make another one in near future. I should have bought Steve Eberhardts Jablonski last month.

SL

Griffins · January 16, 2008 1:10PM

hmm, wonder how many of those will get half grade bumps in the "New PSA"

1neatstuff · January 16, 2008 4:38PM

very nice set

1954 · January 17, 2008 12:55AM

Could increase the value $4000 now for you Dan. You might want to do this before you sell, seriously. The set is only 20 cards and only one of those will cost you $70.

SL

dstudeba · January 17, 2008 5:17AM

Interesting thought on the bump thing.

Shane - I should have bid higher on that Jablonski also. Dumb.

1954 · January 22, 2008 11:47AM

Dan,
How about an email back with the details? I am dying to know.

D and Shane - I've also been looking at this series and was going for a card this week (item 290223371910) - Richards, creased with dog ears but centered - and it went for 260 + shipping....Did I miss something? Low pop common, sure. But worth $300 as a PSA 3? I figured it would reach a bit more than the same graded Hack or Groth - around 150 - 200.

anyone know why the lot with all the Wilson Franks Slaughter and Richards got pulled from Mastro?

Mastro Lot 1058

nam812 · April 20, 2008 11:05PM

The description called Paul Richards Frank instead of Paul, but I don't think that's the reason.

1954 · April 21, 2008 4:17AM

Apparently the item was pulled because there was a question of authenticity????? I don't know if the cards were hand cut from sheet or if the cards were fakes. I saw that someone got a bid in before they closed the auction down. Later on I found out that a friend of ours placed an initial bid and Mastro sent him the skinny on it.

Regards,
Shane

Trailrider-
The Richards is a very tough card to find. That one that you have a post of is a really nice copy. Although it may technically grade a PSA 3, the card has great centering and eye appeal. I have a very nice copy of a Hack 5 and Groth 6 if you are interested.

Shane

sbtrailrider · April 21, 2008 3:29PM

Well, it is nicely centered which is why I put a bid in, but it went for more than a straight 4 as I estimated it...and seeing 9 of those same cards pulled from the masto auction hopefully means more will be on the market as single sales. Given the option, I'd rather have a roughed up edge or corner than a off center square edged card.

As for the Hack 5 or Groth 6, please pm me...and anymore 64 standups in your stock? I'm at 80+ % mixing 7 and 8.

1954 · April 22, 2008 1:57AM

I will check the inventory tonight and PM you tomorrow. I can't recall picking anything new up, but I will check. Congrats on getting to 80% on the set.

This is the first time I have seen all of the cards from this set. Thanks for sharing.

Wondo · April 24, 2008 3:05AM

I was the purchaser of Dan's set, but my ownership was short-lived. I had to put it in Mastro's auction.
