A couple simple questions for you guys....
 

Posted By: <b>Mike Campbell</b><p>Regarding the George C. Miller - Which one of the two variations is rarer ? <br /><br />Regarding the W574 - I have a Graded PSA showing the year 1932. <br /> <br /> I have a Graded SGC showing a year of 1933.<br /><br />Who's correct?<br /><br /><br /><br />PS - ( A bit OT) In a private E mail the other day, someone asked what Ozzyzoe means.<br /> Ozzy was my dog, who has since passed away, and Zoe is my cat. Who is very much alive.<br /> I guess that means I am an animal lover.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p>a PSA bashing thread I think that the 1932 on the PSA card is a typo and 1933 is the correct year. While there are variations within the set they are all attributed to 1933.

Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>But I will turn this into a PSA bashing thread. A 5? A 5?! Yet the minions will buy....<br /><br /><img src="http://i7.ebayimg.com/04/i/08/a7/e4/4f_12.JPG"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.ebayimg.com/05/i/08/a9/fc/cf_12.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Mike campbell</b><p>I was just looking for the correct year. The bible is not always correct either. I want to get the incorrect one corrected. I have been through this with all three of them. PSA is not the only one who does this. <br /><br />Thanks for the input.<br /><br /><br />So which variation is tougher?<br /><br />By the way, I believe that could be the worst 5 I have ever seen. Agreed?<br />

Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>Mike,<br /><br />It appears as if something was bleached on the back, perhaps some writing? Coupled with the fact that there is paper loss on the front, and there you have it, a PSA 5!

Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>Of the 32 cards in my set, 31 are Type 1 & one is Type 2. I began this set not even knowing there were two different types and once I found out about this factor, it did not play into which cards I bought or didn't buy. In other words, the 31-1 disparity was random chance.<br /><br />Dan Mckee knows a lot more about this topic than I do.<br /><br />Of the 60 GCMs currently being offered in the Dollof catalog (Nov. 2006), 42 of the 60 are Type 1.<br /><br />I think that all players are available in both types but I'm not sure about Andrews. My Andrews is Type 1.

Posted By: <b>Mike campbell</b><p>Based on the difficulty of even finding them, type 1 and type 2, isn't a factor in which one to choose. You must grab them when you get the rare opportunity. I was just curious. I have a PSA 5, the incorrect version. Very nice card. I like this set even more than the Diamond Stars, which have similar characteristics. Though the Diamonds are one of my favorites, they are very common and easy to locate. I like the art deco look. Actually I like art deco anything.<br /><br />Edited to add note to James Feagin: I have some grade 2 and 3's in my 206's. I am going to bleach them, and write on them, and then try and bleach it out, so that I can get the grades up to a 5. Thanks for the tip Jim.....<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Mike campbell</b><p>What is the website of the upcoming Dollof auction ? I was unaware of this event.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p>Mike:<br /><br />GAI also thinks that the W574's were issued in 1933.<br /><br />In reference to your question about Dolloff, I believe that Bruce was referring only to the Nov 2006 Dolloff catalog and not a Dolloff auction. Dolloff, however, has auctioned/sold a lot of cards on eBay in the last six months. They had to reduce a lot of their prices before their cards would sell.<br /><br />Brad<br />

Posted By: <b>Mike campbell</b><p>Thanks Brad. The 574's aren't that rare, you'd think that they could get their act together on this issue. But I will get the incorrect one relabeled. I am not aware of any other issues where there seems to be this confusion. Although there has been two or three times when I have sent something to get entombed, the grading service had to be told what year it was, and what it was to be called. I have had to send things back and get them corrected.`If one were dishonest, that could present some problems I suppose. I know it's naive, but I'm always hoping the grading services know what they are doing. Turns out they don't.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>Right, Brad & Mike. I was referring only to the Dolloff catalog. Their phone number is 603-433-3957. They are open M, T, Th & Fr only, 11-5pm, east coast time. The person you will talk to on the phone is an order taker only, NOT a card expert. <br /><br />A lot of folks say that the Dolloff prices are too high. A GCM Bill Dickey graded PSA 4 sold on ebay for $2,030.last August. Dolloff has an ungraded Dickey in vg as we speak for $1250. They also have an Al Simmons, another HOFer, graded vg/ex for $1650. So the prices, while not cheap, are not really out of line.<br /><br />I have found their grading to be accurate. They also offer a return privilege.<br /><br />When you consider how scare these cards are, for Dollof to have 60 in inventory is rather amazing. Jim Manos turned me on to Dolloff a while ago and I was able to acquire the last card I needed for my GCM set.

Posted By: <b>Mike Campbell</b><p>Those prices are more than fair. In fact I find them to be very fair.<br /><br />Thanks for the info.<br /><br />
