1978 Topps baseball collectors

wrongleg · December 26, 2009 11:13AM

I haven't done any kind of detail list. I was planning on it but it was extremely time consuming putting on ebay 1 at a time. The Gross sales were just short of 6000 I believe (had a few other sales that month) Pretty good considering the Murray and the Ryans were only 8's. After all the fees still did pretty well. Thanks to all that did participate. - Joel

Congrats Joel, glad you did well with it. Thanks hg3, will look into that one, have lost a few Munsons already. Seem to be finding out when you get near the end, hard to feel like is near the end, it gets much tougher to find what you are looking for.

Nice job Joel, I enjoyed the small write up about this in your PM

Looks like Hatch just added the Murray rookie card to his incredible
'78 set as he attempts to be the first registrant to complete a pre-1980
mainstream regular set in all PSA 10 grade........UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

hg3 · January 6, 2010 6:02AM

Thanks Bill.....I held my breath waiting for it to arrive from a collector in New York!!

augustaman · January 12, 2010 5:55AM

...............now I see 5 more 1/1 PSA 10 cards
recently added. WOW!!!

hg3 · January 12, 2010 6:20AM

Thanks. For those extra cards, I owe a big thanks to another '78 collector who also has an exceptional set from the sixties -- we struck a trade that helped each other. Now, it's back to the hunt for more....unfortunately, the closer I get, the further apart the "finds." Take care.
Hatch.

Just got these back from PSA. Overall I was very pleased...the Murray RC was pulled from a wax pack. All of these cards were pulled from either wax or rack packs.

Thanks, Mike, appreciate the kind words!

Hi gents,

I've listed a Garvey and Luzinski in PSA 10 on eBay. I forgot to share this with you guys earlier. Four days left. Just an fyi. Good luck with your persistent pursuit. Bobby

packman · February 14, 2010 3:38AM

The available cards are as follows

Burleson
Zisk
Garvey
Cey
Concepcion
Foster
Parker

Packman,

If the Brett or Jackson are available, I have PSA 8 and PSA 9 HOFers from the early part of the 1970s to trade. Thanks..

packman · February 14, 2010 10:13AM

The link above will take you to my listing of 59 cards on EBay - PSA-9's and a couple 10's. These auctions all end this coming Sunday evening Feb 28th. All cards started at 99 cents and have no qualifiers and no reserve.

Bosox1976 · February 25, 2010 6:19AM

I've got a couple of tough tens - please let me know if interested...

MrG · March 17, 2010 7:43AM

augustaman · March 18, 2010 6:09AM

Is Mr G making some deals with Hatch?????????

hg3 · March 18, 2010 6:43AM

Bill,
Let me just say that I'm thankful that this community (you included, of course!) is so helpful to each other's efforts. To date, my set has benefited from the assistance of virtually every collector in the Top 15 list (you guys are great!). I'm anxious to see some possible changes to Mr. G's set....not that I have any inside knowledge, mind you...

Hatch

hg3 · March 18, 2010 7:22AM

Thanks! ...hope you get some top grades. I dropped under "75 to go" recently, but it's obviously a sloooww pace. The 74 I have left to find are all POP3 or less with many POP 0. The odds are against me, and I certainly can't do it without the kind of help you guys give me. Regards,
Hatch

hg3 · April 23, 2010 5:48AM

After an "international" mega-swap last month (MG, thanks for such a fun trade), another tough card has made it into the set....#185 Ellis Valentine POP 1....many thanks to FM. 62 to go. All help invited....I can't do this alone. Fortunately, it's turning into a community objective.

hg3 · April 23, 2010 8:05AM

Great job getting those two Sparky Lyle cardsin 10's.....single digit POPs. Schultz too, if I remember correctly.

theczar · April 30, 2010 11:28AM

My liquidation sale has been going pretty well. I have my remaining 1978's priced out everything from $3 up to $950.

PM if something fits your needs.

I hardly ever post in the set registry forum, so my apologies if trolling for cards is considered bad form. On the chance that it's acceptable, I'm in need of two cards to finish up my '78 Dodgers set in 9:

#145 - Rick Monday
#508 - Johnny Oates

Thanks in advance for any help.

Geordie

Congrats to Hatch for getting some love from the PSA gang for having the BEST MODERN BASEBALL SET OF THE YEAR.

<< <i>Congrats to Hatch for getting some love from the PSA gang for having the BEST MODERN BASEBALL SET OF THE YEAR. >>

Ditto here for Hatch.

asw37 · June 26, 2010 3:03PM

hey i have a psa 10 1978 topps reggie jackson for sale or trade. Is anyone interested? Please feel free to pm or email me with offers. My email is weitzas@gmail.com. Thanks!

hg3 · June 27, 2010 9:37AM

Thanks guys for the nice congratulations. This set is a community effort (with so many cards arriving through trades with other '78 collectors). As a '78 set community, we can all share a bit of the recognition.

Best regards,
Hatch

Rangerman · June 27, 2010 11:44PM

WAY TO GO HATCH--------- I'm a fan of your accomplishment so far.

Tony

Seminolelaw · June 28, 2010 6:22AM

congratulations hatch on the finest 1978 set ever assembled. John

bigred1 · June 29, 2010 12:41PM

Wow, congrats. I feel like I contributed, even if it was only one card. A very impressive accomplishment. Best of luck finding the rest.

Regards,

Tim

SOM · June 30, 2010 4:28PM

Please add my hearty congrats to the list, Hatch.

Beautiful job...and worthy of the highest honors!

Nick

SOM · August 8, 2010 4:55AM

Are you kidding me?

Hatch, if this is you: don't do it!!

Nick

theczar · August 8, 2010 5:18AM

hg3 · August 8, 2010 8:06AM

I agree....It's hard to justify the ridiculous eBay prices required to fill spots. However, I have 50 cards (or so) left to reach 100% 10. For every high price card I have to pay for on eBay, I'm spending much less on non-eBay purchases, and sometimes "way" less on submission 10's. If you assume an average price of $200, then multiply times 50 cards, it totals out to $10,000. Add another $7,500 to get the Ryan whenever it shows up, and the total still remains below $20,000 That's a price I'm willing to pay to reach the 100% milestone. I realize it's not a strong investment strategy, but then again, I don't understand how someone can spend over $10,000 on a two-week vacation cruise, ending up with only photographs and a sunburn. Hope that makes sense.

SOM · August 8, 2010 8:13AM

Hatch...I get it! You make perfect sense, as usual.

I was (kiddingly) pleading on your behalf, referencing the fact that there are probably sellers out there who are trying to take advantage of you.

Now, I hope you DO win it!

Nick

hg3 · August 8, 2010 9:13AM

Nick and Paul,
Thanks for the support. Despite the cost, the eBay path is providing a more frequent opportunity to upgrade slots (as Paul pointed out). It also turns out to be a lower cost than sending in submissions. For example, for every 1,000 new cards I look at from box rips, only 50 match the slots I need, and of those, only 1 in 10 are at a quality worthy of sending in. I'm currently getting about 35% of my submissions back in a 10 grade. So, in short, I can get 1 to 2 new slots upgraded for every 1,000 cards opened. At 360 cards per $500 wax pack box, it's about $750 to $1,000 per card to go that route (if you exclude the money I could recover by selling material I don't need). On the other hand, if I could get my hands on an unopened case, I'd have a lot more fun. Any idea where there may be a case laying around?
Take care,
Hatch

wrongleg · August 8, 2010 2:20PM

Hatch your set is amazing. I dont see anything on their website but does Larry Fritsch have any cases that they might sell? Good luck in your quest.

Joel

hg3 · August 8, 2010 5:08PM

Thanks Joel! I appreciate the tip, and I'll check into it.

SOM · August 9, 2010 2:53AM

Hatch...you might also have good luck with this fellow

Nick

hg3 · August 9, 2010 3:33AM

Thanks Nick. I think this was also the place/site that Larry Fritsch (that Paul mentioned) was at -- I believe he passed a way a few years ago. I've bought individual rack packs from them, as well as other unopened material. Very good experience dealing with them. Thanks again.

MintMoondog · August 9, 2010 6:37PM

Wow!
I have not been paying attention to 78s for a year or so. I've been working on the other 70s years. That is one incredible set hatch!! My best wishes as well, could you please keep us updated each time you get closer? Maybe scan the remaning cards as you acquire them? I believe you are close enough for a final countdown and I would like to share the pursuit vicariously.

Henry

hg3 · August 10, 2010 3:38AM

Thanks. Will do.

calaban7 · August 11, 2010 2:57AM

Once again , your great set inches up word. There are many that are keeping an eye on your set . I hope you make it.--- Sonny

mealeworm · August 11, 2010 7:21AM

I have a general question about the 78's...

I have a decent stack of "mint" 78's that I was think of sending in to PSA. I did a quick look at the pop report and some are low pop 9's and zero pop 10's.

What prices do the low pop 9's command? and the say 0-3 pop 10's?

TIA Dave

TNP777 · August 12, 2010 3:16PM

I thought I'd troll here for the last '78 I need to finish up my Dodger set - looking for a Johnny Oates in 9. My apologies if this is frowned on here - I do have a thread up on the BST board as well.

calaban7 · November 3, 2010 7:54AM

Once again , your great set inches up word. There are many that are keeping an eye on your set . I hope you make it.

Nice Bumbry , I'm sure.---- Sonny
