Check out this sweet all PSA 5 1954 Topps set! Too bad I don't have $10K for it. :(

1954 Topps set; EVERY card is PSA 5 NQ

If I ever get into 1950s/1960s sets, I probably could only do the key cards in PSA 5 at most. But for a set like 1954, it does make sense to do all the cards graded, seeing as how it's a realtively small set (250 cards). It's also my personal favorite for the 1950s (besides the 1952/1953 sets everyone loves) because I like the colors (1958 is a close second). image

Or do you guys think $10K is too much for this set? I mean, they are all graded so that has to count for something, right?

    The first thing I would do is figure out the SMR of the set. Then figure out what '54 Topps sell for relative to SMR in that condition. Then you can peruse the sellers completed auctions to see if you can determine his bottom line price.

    SMR for that set is under 7k. His Aaron looks sweet, I was not impressed with the Williams.

    For the price he is asking I'd have to see all the cards. He is after all asking for almost 10k


    Many cards in 5 could be net graded dogs that also could be 7OC.

    Wrinkles, etc


    With that said, it is a complete graded PSA set.

    Good for you.

    I would think you could get that set at 60-65% of SMR. I sold a nicer 1954 set - with nicer stars and a great Aaron (described here) - and got 77% of SMR. Somebody could tell you SMR, but I am thinking $5,000 - 5,500.

    edit: for my poor memory.

    And should be MUCH more affordable than say, a set with 7's and 8's. image

    VCP shows the sales of the most recent PSA 5's from 1 to 250 totaling only $4,994.38 (actually 241 cards as 9 commons have no PSA 5 sales to show)

    yes, but that could be more fun to put together than pay too much as a whole. I guess you would also have to figure in how much each card would cost and add shipping to determine the value. What would a raw EX common cost + grading?

    That set should be sold piecemeal if the guy wants that kind of dough for it.

    It was almost reasonable yesterday.

    For 10K, you should be able to get a PSA 6 or better complete set. I've picked up quite a number of PSA 6s in the 10-12 dollar range.
