Forget "8"'s You can see what I mean in Larry's response. Post a scan of your Schweder!

I agree the Lansford is a little on the heavy side, but don't forget those corner cards are a bear. Especially the Low Numbers

Hi Guys---Just saw this thread as I haven't been on the Board much lately, but wanted to contribute.

I have a complete set I bought in packs back when I was 12 yrs old! I don't think I've ever had a single upgrade & decided to have them graded by SGC just as they remained to this day.

Here are a few of some of the key cards:

Man you took care of your cards, Fred! Impressive that you pulled these out of packs.

1952 Bowman Large
 
Brian Wentz years ago had a major find of 1952 Bowman football cards. He helped Randy Stuckemeyer build his #1 SGC set. I think he had as many as 15 sets/near sets he built from the find. They were all in SGC holders. He could never find a nice #54 or #144 from what I remembered. It's too bad his set is no longer posted. He eventually found an SGC 92 Lansford. So, based on that find, you would think Randy would have been able to pull better the an SGC 80 Lansford. I think he ended up paying 27k for his SGC 92. Randy was probably the most condition conscious collector I had ever met. He found the SGC 96 Nagurski that was later crossed to the PSA 9.

Paul Kaufman had the #1 1952 Bowman large set on the PSA registry for 15 years. The only cards he couldn't find PSA 8 or better were #1Van Brocklin, #9 Spencer, and #45 Van Buren. There is an excellent article on the psa web site that greg bussineau wrote that shows the sheet positions and describes why the 52 Large SPs and SP+1 are so difficult.

Both are pretty good data points for the rarity of the SPs and the Lansford.
