POINT FIVE MONSTER STRIKES!!

image now how did i know this would happen????
another hastily assembled 50 thrown together with the assumption that i needed to beat an end of March deadline, DOH!.....pretty much as expected once again, with a couple bumps in the road....so i guess i'm left to wonder, without the addition of the .5 grades, would the nearly 20% of the order have been graded higher or lower......hmmmmm, speed grading [scratching chin]

all 64s from vending, as expected

    Super nice... especially for eBay buys... I've found it tougher to get 9s on '66 cards than on '67.

    << <i>Super nice... especially for eBay buys... I've found it tougher to get 9s on '66 cards than on '67. >>



    couple takes on that.....there have been a lot of nice raw 67s available lately, so my presumption is that there has been enough to go around for all of those who have an interest.....conversely, on 66s i've found the bidding to be much more aggressive on better raw examples, so the set popularity combined with the limited availability of these cards might provide an explanation.

    very nice sir. You are right about the '67's. I bought several pretty high grade lots at great prices. The ones I just subbed I paid the most for but they were still less than $1 each and I got all 7's and 8's.
