Vintage PSA Reveal Part 2 - High Grade Cards from the '70s!

[@RichardKvorka]

Great video!!!

[@alltimesportscards]

Nice video. Very informative and your knowledge of players and the 1970s sets is impressive.

'75-'84 is kind of my jam. Ha. But even as a kid, I liked players from the 50s and 60s even though I had not seen them play. The stories behind the game were always interesting to me. That's what I'm trying to share here, in addition to cards. Thanks for watching!

Amazing results. Really liked the Eck and the OPC Murray and Rice Rookie Cup really stood out, congrats.

[@VintageBaseballCorner]

@blixcards Thanks! Overall, it was a good sub, minus a few of the '75s. But, hey I'm not perfect. The Rice is indeed gorgeous! I thought the earlier cards going back to 1960, in Part 1 got even better results, which was a nice surprise.

[@blixcards]

@@VintageBaseballCorner You bet! I saw that reveal as well, you nailed both. Watching your videos has me heading back to PSA, they are grading realistically again, obviously. You have a great eye!

Very nice cards. Never new about the 75 all star color scheme. New subscriber

@@peterb4871 Thanks for watching and the sub! I never caught the like colors either until the last year or so. Hope you'll come back to check out the next reveal, 1980-present. I'm working on it now.

i so agree about the OPC !! They are so much more rare, and so much more impossible to get in 8-10 grade. I actually just bought a 1979 OPC pack on its way from BBCE. Another awesome video, as much fun as part 1. I am also a big fan of hostess and kelloggs cards, so one of my fav from this submission is the Hostess Aaron

[@VintageBaseballCorner]

Glad you enjoyed it! I picked up a cheap box of '83 OPC cards at an Estate Sale recently. They seemed to be mint. I'll dig thru them soon, but I'm thinking Gwynn and Sandberg are not in there. I think time will be the friend the OPC cards need. As they continue to get older, I believe people will learn to appreciate them more. For now, there are a lot of collectors who don't value anything past the 1960s.

Hi Chris. I always learn a ton from your videos and it's great to follow your collection and grading adventures. My 75 set is in a binder, so I never noticed the color pattern for the all-star designated cards. Not sure why they made the exceptions for Aaron and how they missed Reggie Jackson. My only thought is that perhaps different designers/artists worked on different cards, and they didn't "get the memo" or as they designed the cards, they had several other projects going on at the same time and they simply missed it. Topps quality control at the time was undoubtedly a lot looser than it is today. As you know, back then the target consumer was us kids but it's great to look back with a new perspective and set of eyes. I am also not sure why they "blanked" out that face on the Cubs TC. Perhaps they had problems getting the player signed prior to final design of the card or simply a printing error. Maybe a fan "photo-bombed" the picture and Topps picked it up. Cubs TCs have often been interesting and different from other TCs in the sets. I recall the "floating head" designs such as in 71, 72, 78 etc. where Topps seemingly had problems getting them all together at the same time for a photo or problems getting everyone in the picture under contract - not sure. The 76 Bench is one of my favorites as well. I don't think Johnny has a bad card, but he is best represented when shown in action at defense (such as 76 and 73). As a lifelong Mets Fan Mr. Grote is one of my favorites. It is sad news about his passing but it's a nice memory to see him in his Mets uniform on that 75 card.

I didn't recognize the common colors of the All-Stars until a year ago or so when I started filling up the AS Registry. Crazy how some things are right in front of you and you still miss it!

[@Collectwhatyoulike]

Do you think taking a paper trimmer to the Hank Aaron Hostess would benefit the grade?

[@VintageBaseballCorner]

@Collectwhatyoulike At this point no I don't think so, because the cut is already just into the lines on the right side. It would be tough to cut the rest of that side closer and keep the cut straight. Originally, yes, it would have been better. At least I don't think I could be that precise based on how it is now!

Thanks for the clarification and for watching!
