Bob,
What are you willing to pay for some of the high numbers in PSA 6? I have a friend who has five of these that you need that were just graded.

If you offer him something tempting, he perhaps will not place them out on ebay.

I know you said you're looking for 6's but there's a #156 PSA 7 on eBay now as well as four different #195's, 2=PSA 6, 1= PSA 7 & 1= PSA 8.

Good luck!

Downtown1974 · July 8, 2008 12:44PM

Downtown1974 · July 9, 2008 12:41AM

Mike, Thanks in advance.

It will be a while before I can find a decently centered Clemente in 6.

relaxed · July 9, 2008 7:32AM

Bob,
Was a pleasure dealing with you. Trade was satisfying for me also. Thanks, gary

RipublicaninMass · July 9, 2008 7:56AM

There was a SICK one that ended a few months ago I believe it was in Goodwin, most perfect centering I have ever seen....and of course no pic at vcp

price was 1148. I am pretty much down to the big guys for my set in 7/8

Downtown1974 · July 9, 2008 10:20AM

Saved the toughies for last Ted? But what is that I see in the "Better than Drugs" set, a Snider in 5? C'mon Ted thats not like you.

RipublicaninMass · July 9, 2008 10:50AM

lol checkin up on me??? That was from my original raw set which was mostly 5-6, still waiting for a deal on the Snider...last one was about 800 OUCH!

Downtown1974 · July 9, 2008 11:52AM

Did you ever sell the other set you had on the registry?

RipublicaninMass · July 10, 2008 2:23AM

I did, can't remeber the price for it, sent a PSA 4 Snider with that set I had lying around. I expect the 5 snider may reside ina 6 holder on ebay in the coming months to help pay for the 7!

RipublicaninMass · July 12, 2008 6:31AM

THANKS jerk! Just topped my set! j/k Good luck! after the big guys...one day...I will be around 17 on the list

Way to go Downtown!

RipublicaninMass · July 17, 2008 3:56AM

Back up to #29 for me, a few Clementes were listed, maybe with 25% off they will only be 10% over the last few sales

1954 · July 17, 2008 7:29AM

I will be up there with you soon guys. I have 68 PSA 7's and a few PSA 8's with about 30 PSA 8ocs. I love this set and hope I can have this thing done by December.

Shane

RipublicaninMass · July 17, 2008 9:51AM

COOL! Always glad to have a new 55 collector, PM if you have any questions I could help you with

relaxed · July 17, 2008 10:34AM

I'm with you Shane I love the 55's. I'm 28 on the registry. I originally was going to complete the set with Psa 5's and 6's, then it was all going to be 6's, now I have combine my collection to have PSA 6,7, and a couple of 8's. If anybody want to trade I do have alot of PSA 5's 6's, and a few 7's to trade. Gary

Sounds familiar!! I collected this set when I was about 16 (1993) When they were graded it was mostly 5-6 sans a trimmed koufax, and the Clemente was a PSA 2. I got back into the set a few years back and would like to finish with mostly 7's and a sprinkle of 8's.

detroitfan2 · July 17, 2008 12:22PM

Shane,

RipublicaninMass, relaxed, and Downtown1974 are all awesome collectors of this set and have been fun to deal with. I'm down a ways from these guys, needing 33 more to finish my set in PSA 4/5/6. I also have about 80 duplicates to trade, but again all are PSA 4/5/6. Good luck on your quest. Much like the 1954 set, this set is a fun collecting goal because it has, relatively speaking, a small number of cards, and there are no "master sets" qualities (i.e. no recognized variations). The high #'s can certainly be pesky, but nowhere near the 1952's or 1953's.

-Tom

Downtown1974 · July 17, 2008 12:38PM

Tom if it wasnt for you and Gary, I would still be quite a ways from completion. Thanks again for all your help and the kind words.

1954 · July 17, 2008 11:55PM

Tonight I will pull all of my duplicates together and place them here on the board. If some of you need some of them we can trade for those that I need. I don't have many but perhaps they are some you might need.

Shane

RipublicaninMass · July 18, 2008 1:41AM

I have some that should be done soon...14 bus days of 45

1954 · July 18, 2008 12:52PM

Here are some duplicates that I have. I am looking for 7/8/8oc for my set. Please let me know if you have anything to trade from 1955.

#156 Joe Black PSA 5
#69 Ed Bailey PSA 8oc
#22 Bill Skowron PSA 8oc
#140 Mel Parnell PSA 6
#56 Ray Jablonski PSa 6
#20 Andy Carey PSA 6
#18 Russ Kemmerer PSA 6
This is it for right now.

Shane

relaxed · July 18, 2008 1:15PM

Shane
I'm actually looking to replace my Russ Kemmerer with a better centered one. Can I see a scan of him. Thanks, gary

1954 · July 18, 2008 1:19PM

Gary,
I have a pretty nice copy but I don't have a scanner. I am sorry. I will tell you that it is centered 40/60 t/b and 60/40 left to right. I think the card presents as a PSA 7.

Shane

relaxed · July 18, 2008 1:34PM

Shane,
I really don't know what you need but I do have a #145 Elmere Valo Psa 8 (oc). Gary

Brick · July 19, 2008 9:34PM

I have the following 1955 to trade
#1 Rhodes PSA 5 nicely centered
#12 PSA 7
#26 PSA 6
#60 PSA 7
#72 PSA 6
#76 PSA 7
#109 PSA 5
#110 PSA 8 OC
#118 PSA 6
#137 PSA 5
#141 PSA 8 OC
#160 PSA 6

I need the following in PSA holders to complete my set
#20, 25, 30, 64, 78, 101, 166, 177, 179, 201, 202, 207
I will consider any reasonable offer. In fact I'd like to complete my set this year so I may even consider some unreasonable offers. Thanks

RipublicaninMass · July 20, 2008 3:53AM

Brick, I should have a few of those in PSA7/8 the next month or so, waiting for a sub to plop...I dont any from your list though. Good luck on the set, I am trying to finish by years end as well!

Ted

relaxed · July 20, 2008 6:01AM

Brick, I just sent you a pm.

1954 · July 20, 2008 1:53PM

Brick,
I could use #12 and #76 from you and I will give you #20 in a PSA 6 and some cash? Let me know if you want to do anything.

Shane

relaxed · July 20, 2008 2:50PM

Shane,
I sent you an update with cards you might be interested in the pm I sent you.

1954 · July 25, 2008 12:57AM

A big thanks to Ralph and Gary for helping me with my set. I am sending them out today guys. I have been very busy at the office.

Thanks again.
Shane

MCMLVTopps · July 27, 2008 10:00PM

Just one card to go.....

Looking for a 55T Freese PSA 7. If you have one and want to sell it, please PM me. I have several PSA 7s in 55T, maybe I can fill a few holes if you want to barter for the card. I only want the card in a 7NQ.

Thanks,
Al - mcmlvtopps
