Terry-

Nice sub!!!! Dont know what to say on the managers, thought I had one grade 8 way back maybe Im wrong?????????????????///

DavidPuddy · May 22, 2009 1:29AM

Scored a 10 on a card that I almost didn't send in!
I'm happy with the grades, but it does bug me that I didn't get any .5 grades on the 8s.
I have no idea why they didn't grade the coaches card. It looked like a 9 to me, and I need one for my set.

Surprised the Rose got and 8. It has the worst centering of all the card in that sub.

Let me see if the scan is in my photobucket.....

DavidPuddy · May 22, 2009 1:35AM

I found the Rusty Stuab raw scan. It came from a pack that I got from Chris (cwazzy) as part of my secret Santa gift. Thanks for the 9 Chris.

These scans are from a group rip last year. 6 cards from the 2 packs graded 8 or better.

CrimsonTider · May 22, 2009 6:21AM

I know that this is a 1977 OPC thread, however, I have decided to post my results from my Group Sub II here only because they are OPC.

That and there is no "1992 OPC Official Thread".

354 1 14792859 GEM MINT 10 1992 O-PEE-CHEE 40 CAL RIPKEN JR. Card US
355 1 14792860 GEM MINT 10 1992 O-PEE-CHEE 215 RICH GOSSAGE Card US
356 1 14792861 GEM MINT 10 1992 O-PEE-CHEE 399 GARY CARTER Card US
357 1 14792862 GEM MINT 10 1992 O-PEE-CHEE 426 ROCK RAINES Card US
358 1 14792863 GEM MINT 10 1992 O-PEE-CHEE 648 SCOTT FLETCHER Card US

CrimsonTider · May 22, 2009 10:54AM

Sorry guys, not trying to hijack your the 1977 OPC thread. I'm also posting my results from group sub I. Only the ones that are OPC

GEM MINT 10 1983 O-PEE-CHEE 300 MIKE SCHMIDT Card US
GEM MINT 10 1983 O-PEE-CHEE 364 GARY LUCAS Card US
GEM MINT 10 1992 O-PEE-CHEE 245 JOHN SMOLTZ Card US
GEM MINT 10 1992 O-PEE-CHEE 560 RICKEY HENDERSON Card US
GEM MINT 10 1992 O-PEE-CHEE 620 GEORGE BRETT Card US

My next sub will be all OPC. However, the results will not be anywhere as good as these. I'm hoping for a few 10s and a lot of 9s and some 8s.

Wheres the best place for unopened OPC wax?

DavidPuddy · May 22, 2009 11:10AM

Nice Scott Fletcher

tsalems1 · September 19, 2009 3:36PM

Just picked up my 26th PSA 10 card from this set. If anyone has any available, please PM or email tsalems1@verizon.net

reelinintheyears · September 20, 2009 1:28PM

Don't know what the boys at "Just Collect" have been smoking lately, but they just listed a '77 OPC Garry Templeton PSA 10 for a 7-day auction with a starting bid of $1,000!!! And it's not even a pop 1. At least they're offering free shipping though! I've picked up some high grade '70s and 'early '80s OPC's here and there over the past couple of years and the most I've paid for a single card has been $100 for a '73 PSA 10 Luis Aparicio (also a pop 2, but at least he's a HOF'er) and $85 for a '75 PSA 10 Bill Freehan (pop 2). Admittedly, I've gotten some good deals from "Just Collect," but this was just too much to let go without comment. I suppose that's the price the consignor is asking for it, but in my opinion they really should not be taking crazy consignments like that since it makes them look awfully bad.

tsalems1 · September 20, 2009 1:58PM

That card has been talked about before. Last time they listed it at $2000.00.
Waste of money even listing it

tsalems1 · November 9, 2009 10:25AM

Now have 28 PSA 10's from this set and just shy of 50% complete overall. Still looking for more. Please PM if you have any...

DavidPuddy · November 9, 2009 11:07AM

Great job Tom! Keep it going.

fattymacs · November 11, 2009 12:09AM

Moved to B/S/T

tsalems1 · December 8, 2009 9:04AM

Now over 50% complete on set 1 with 33 PSA 10's and a GPA of 9.244

Working on another sub with around 70 more 1977's

Topps29 · December 10, 2009 3:28AM

? What does a box of 77, 78 and 79 OPC Baseball sell for these days?

fattymacs · December 10, 2009 5:50AM

Recent ebay:

1978 $198.00 and $275.00

1977 $509.00

dunno how good the boxes were, but that's what I found.

hotmush · December 10, 2009 6:39AM

Been tracking sales of these for a while now.

1977 (seven boxes sold): Ave: $411.16;
High: $509 (Dec. 2009); Low: $394 (Nov. 2006)
Last two boxes of 1977 have averaged $475.

1978 (14 boxes sold): Ave: $226.14;
High: $355 (Feb. 2009); Low: 120.50 (Oct. 2006)
Last two boxes of 1978 have averaged $260.

1979 (12 boxes sold): Ave: $179.99;
High: $275 (Dec. 2009); Low: $140 (June 2009)
Last two boxes of 1979 have averaged $250.

In three years, I have seen two cases of 1978s sell on ebay. Can't confirm if it's the same case, though.

Hope that helps.

milkandcheese1 · December 17, 2009 2:56PM

I can attest that one of the 77 boxes was VERY nice, got it on a 2nd chance offer. Compared to the typical 2-3 cards that are completely unsalvageable, and 2-3 more badly miscut in 78 and 79, these didn't have the gum glued on issue, and even the wax stains on the top cards were minimal at best. Centering was more like a Topps issue than the usual OPC 65/35. I'm probably a culprit on some of those 78 and 79 boxes (definitely the latter), 78s I stopped after a 2nd horrid box. Not create competition for myself, but my experience with 79 boxes is just slightly below the quality of the 77 box that apparently orginated at baseball card exchange. Tampa Bay Cards boxes have been quality on every purchase so far, so if you feel the urge, I'd suggest them as a reputable seller. I'm done with ebay until I mail off roughly 2-3k OPC subs, otherwise they will never get subbed. I'll definitely give a heads up on any PSA10s that come back for 77, the Ryan RB might make it, 9 at worst. Keep me in mind if you get any PSA9 or 10s for 73, 76 or 79. Reached the halfway mark on 73 and 79 already without sending in my raw stuff.

Nice sub Terry, you're getting closer.

gameusedhoop · March 10, 2010 8:49AM

Terry, glad to see the Palmer crossed very nicely for you. I thought it had a chance based on the other 9s that I had.

mmsportscards · March 15, 2010 7:01AM

ThoseBackPages · February 20, 2011 10:06AM

Sweet Dent!

Dialj · February 20, 2011 4:16PM

And to think; it didn't put a "Dent" in your pocket. Great pick-up!!

xbaggypants · May 25, 2011 5:11AM

Anyone have OPC 77's Jays?

ThoseBackPages · July 21, 2011 2:46AM

ThoseBackPages · December 19, 2011 7:25AM

Anyone have any Munson's laying around?

tsalems1 · December 20, 2011 9:29AM

Here are a couple Bert cards I have...

tsalems1 · December 24, 2011 9:56AM

Picked up 2 more 1977 O-PEE-CHEE PSA 10's from board member jessherron

Now up to 51 PSA 10's in my top registry set

estang · December 26, 2011 2:04AM

Looking for a high-end Lyman Bostock to add to my collection... anyone?

tsalems1 · January 26, 2012 9:22AM

Bought a couple 1977 opc baseball sets. Typical centering on most cards but I did find a few goodies.

Bonds I think will PSA 8. Last 8 on Ebay sold for over $80 (I think because of the hype here on the CU threads)
However, this is the best centered card I have found on Bonds.

The other card that is just as hard to find centered is the Ken Brett. I think this has a shot at a 9 (pop 0 in PSA 9, pop 1 in PSA 8)

ThoseBackPages · January 26, 2012 10:50AM

WOW look at that centering!

Show us the Munson, Hernandez, Nettles, Carter, Reggie and Seaver!

tsalems1 · January 26, 2012 10:52AM

oops

tsalems1 · January 26, 2012 11:06AM

The Carter will probably get sent in and will 8 because of centering.
The Ryan is nice except the damn crease! Not sure if it shows up in the scan

ThoseBackPages · January 26, 2012 12:01PM

No, cant see a crease on the Ryan.

Good call on the Carter, centering is really nice on it. Do you already own a lot of Carter 8's?

tsalems1 · January 26, 2012 12:15PM

I had a PSA 9 and sold it before I started my registry sets. Im kicking myself now!
I dont have any 8's either. I have several raw but all O/C.

ThoseBackPages · January 26, 2012 12:39PM

<< <i>I had a PSA 9 and sold it before I started my registry sets. Im kicking myself now!

Ahhh!

i ripped five packs last week trying to get some submittables of guys i collect (i was handing PSA a sub at a show) last week, but no luck.

tsalems1 · January 28, 2012 3:22AM

Working on raw sets if anyone has pack fresh cards from any of the group rips. I know many people open a pack or 2 or 5 that they get
and pull cards that will grade well and throw the rest in a box. Those are the cards im interested in. Please PM me

tsalems1 · January 28, 2012 12:09PM
