On the weekend I went back to have another look at the set and also the 1975 Topps Baseball and 79-80 Topps Hockey (with a Gretzky rookie Beckett RCR grade of 7.5) sets that he has.
I was very disappointed to see a smudge/stain on the right short edge of the Schmidt. The only other card I noticed a stain on was the Bench. The rest of the cards were razor sharp except for the horrible centering on many. Several of the star cards were 90/10 and 100/0.
The 75 Topps set was in great shape, including the Brett and Yount rookies, except for marked checklists. The Gretzky set was also in beautiful condition.
After some negotiating, the lowest he would go on all three sets was $1,800 Cdn. I had $1,500 on me. I think I would have done the deal for $1,800 but my disappointment in the Schmidt card held me back. Thoughts?
