I love your sets, especially the 74's!

As of today, I'm very pleased to report that I've been able to upgrade my set to the current Finest Possible GPA and Set Rating. I now own a highest-graded example of all 36 cards in the set, with one-third (12) of them Pop 1's. Many thanks to Brian Hodes, aka BKH, for agreeing to trade me the only three cards on the planet that could allow me to complete this goal. Here are the three 9's (all Pop 1's) that I acquired:

Congratulations! Awesome!

Freakin' awesome!

Bumping this classic thread up. I just graded a raw set I bought last year on eBay. Got some really nice results including a PSA 9 Cool Papa Bell, which is a pop 1 none higher. This is such a fun set to collect and you can even find signed versions now and then.

One of each of the sets got very strong prices in REA for raw cards. The first set went for $2,160 and the second set went for $1,380. That's 72 cards for $3,540.

The last REA auction had 2 of the 1978 sets. One was graded and one wasn't. The ungraded set actually sold for more even though they both were high grade sets. That is strange since there's significant risk and cost associated with getting the ungraded set graded and hoping it ends up grading higher than the set that was already graded.

Optimism. Those raw cards are tens! Gotta be!
