That is a wow! For that price I can buy 8 really good PSA 8 1971 Steve Garveys rookies.

Maybe it's worth that much because he finally remembered to zip up his fly.

So it was actually a 1971 Tough Common Variation Card.

VitoCo1972 · June 25, 2008 1:32AM

I'm not an expert in 71's, but I believe this is agreed to be the toughest card in the set in NM-MT or better shape.

bman90278 · June 25, 2008 1:40AM

I'm just wondering. Does that card look to be over graded in that holder? It appears to have 2 top corner issues, but is also off center. Does the centering on this card fall within the 65/35 to 70/30 standards or is it better? Just wondering for future reference.

It looks to be exactly 70/30 l/r.

Thanks, I wasn't totally sure, but I felt it had to be very close or better. I've been slowly working on doing a sub soon, so that will help.

Added:
That being said, I feel that's not a solid 8 compared to what I've been looking at.

I would argue not only the toughest card in the 71 set but thee toughest of all 1970s sets. Not even close to being a solid 8 but your lucky to find much of a border on 71 raymonds.
Interested to see what it closes at as this card had dropped recently. I guess its on its way up.

lsutigers1973 · June 25, 2008 2:02AM

With only 20 PSA 8's and one PSA 9, I would say it is pretty tough.

I would expect the winner to be Mets71 at a price around $1650... Unless he finally found his PSA 8 from the raw ones he overpaid for.

The card is very tough and usually only has about 5-10% of the right border.

As other's have stated, the Set Registry is a powerful drug.

Nothing like paying $1K+ for card that has been in the $1 bin for the last 30 years.

Not surprised at all, Ive seen many a PSA kook pay 1000+% more than they should

If it's that easy, then pull it out of your $1 bin and claim your 1K.

Wow!!
