Jerry,

Will do as soon as I get them. Pretty bummed as the grades hit on PSA web site this weekend and as of today, still not showing as shipped! Ugh!

Thanks! Mike

good gambles! the big o rookie has kind of taken off the last couple years too...$500 is comparable to a vg3 signed. not sure which is better, psa 7 or psa9mc.

I knew you of all people would appreciate these as well. Previously the highest pop report grade is a 7, I am totally ok with the 9 as it is MINT and of course MC but still they will list it in their pop report under 9 qualifier which looks pretty cool all alone there at the top!!

It is a 7 in their GPA as you know. Funny thing is, I asked for no qualifiers and called them as it most likely should have been a straight 7 BUT they said that they almost always put the MC on the card even if you ask for no qualifiers. Not sure why but no big deal.

If I'm working on a straight graded set on the Registry without autographs then I want all of my grades clean with no qualifiers but with the signed cards, I'm cool with qualifiers since the real beauty on the card of course is the auto. I now have 2 MINT 9s (MC) from that set signed and they are both unique and both HOF Rookies. Oscar and Jerry West!!!

Peace, Chad

Only known Si Green and highest Oscar Auto RC EVER!
Here they are! Take note of the PSA 4 hi # Oscar RC all the way on the bottom.

TOUGH 4!!!! MINT corners, centering ok........BUT gum stains on back that I could not remove! UGH! Nicest 4 you will ever see!

Jerry.....if the PSA 4 Oscar low # RC looks familiar it is because it is the exact unsigned card you sold me in that set last September! Thanks again!

Enjoy!

Peace, Mike

PSA just awarded this exact set of mine with their top 2018 Autograph Award!!

(The Impossible Dream) - 1961-62 Fleer Basketball - Best PSA/DNA Autograph Set of the Year
Autographed trading card sets are an entity all their own. To assemble such a grouping, one must be part collector and part historian. These hobbyists learn about each individual shown on a card, how long they played, when they retired, what they did after leaving the game and, in some cases, when they left the earth. Collectors tie their collection permanently to the athletes, knowing that each card was actually handled by the subject at some point along the journey. This is not only one of the greatest vintage basketball sets in the hobby, but it is also 95% autographed. A rarity indeed.



PS: Luckily they will consider "partial sets" as long as they are at 95% or higher completion. I am now down to needing only 3 cards:
#7 Carl Braun paying $750
#24 Phil Jordan paying $2500
#37 Guy Rodgers paying $750
