1968 Topps 3-D Baseball
Posted By: Dave Hornish
OK, these are some of the nicest cards ever I've always thought; although I love lenticular cards in general. But can somebody show a scan of the little easel that came packaged with the cards? I only know about them from an old REA auction and have never actually seen an example, but that was in the pre-catalog days and hence, no photo. I've always presumed the easel was thick carboard that was punched out and then "A into B" tabbed for use. Interesting idea by Topps for displaying the 3-D's! Who's got one?

I still need 3 to complete the set. I do have a wrapper. I know Bob has a nice set and can put up scans. I have never seen the easel though and if someone has a picture, would sure like to see what it looks like

I was suspicious about this, so I checked when I got home. There aren't two variations on the Perez. Depending on the angle you hold the card, you can see a player to his (our) left or, turning it slightly, see a player to his (our) right standing behind him. Try it with yours Jim when you get a second.

Here are a couple more pics , Jim has the Robinson which we traded a while back and I don't have the return card scanned so I will post his. These do not come up on ebay except when Bob put his dups up way back. That was one exciting night, hey Bob?

My local card shop just recently picked up a very high grade set of 68 3-ds for $9500 ungraded. He sold it to a local Dr. who is a big collector for $25,000 the next day! Wow is this set that rare to bring that kind money? Anybody have links to were this set has sold recently? Thanks

Jim is right. If it's even a PSA 8 set, then the Dr. got a bargain. VCP has very little data on recent 3-D sales since there haven't been many. They have sales data for the Clemente 10 that sold last December in Mastro ($30K) and some prices for the three common ones (Fairly, Davis, and Maloney).

The shop owner did tell me that every card was as good as he has ever seen in this particular set. He said being conservative every card would grade a 7 or better and more likely 8s and 9s. He also purchased a complete wilson weiners set which is supposed to be in great shape. Again I am not familiar with that particular set either but he speaks highly of it. Anybody have an idea what a set like that should be bought for? Thanks

Everyone that has not had cards graded on a regular basis thinks their cards should be 7's or 8's. A few months ago some raw cards were posted on this forum with the owner stating they should be in that range, and they were quite obviously 5's or less. Shop owners seem to be the worst about this- it's all part of the "if I'm selling it it's gold, if you're selling it's crap" mentality many of them seem to live by.

Vanessa -- Anthony is of course totally correct. And don't forget, if the seller is so sure of those grades then you have to ask yourself, "Wouldn't it be in his/her best interest to get those cards graded in the first place, to maximize their own profit, not your own?" Your pattern seems to look for highly-sought-after great-condition cards, usually ungraded, and therefore should sell for much more once you have them. Although we all have an eye out for that, the fact is that among the collected experience of this forum you will find few stories like that. Sure we'd all like a windfall, but what we all really seek are the particular cards we want at a fair price to both parties.

The only reason I mentioned the card dealers opinion of the cards is he is such a highly respected dealer in business today. I am not going to mention his name, because I don't think that would be right. I do trust this persons opinion on cards though, he has been doing this for a very long time and is known by most of the dealer legends around the country. Now that being said , he is asking me if I would be interested in the 54 Wilson wiener set. He hasn't given me a price as of yet so that's why i am posting asking about the set here. I guess I am asking what things to look for in this particular set that drains the value. I have researched mastro and memeory lane and can see what some of these sets go for and do understand thier value. Thank you

I'd be very wary of any dealer that would forego 4-5 figures in extra profit y not having a tough set like Wilson's graded. I suspect it's probably because he knows they won't grade what he is representing them as.

I want to move to Vanessa's area. The dealer she goes to gets the rarest of the rare... He was able to acquire an authentic Ruth and Gehrig signed baseball and now a 1968 3-D set, etc. Why can't I ever find this stuff without having to pay ten of thousands of dollars?

You would not believe some of stuff he has in his safe at his shop. Believe me this guy has been doing this for a long time. Name a rare set that you are looking for and Ill bet he has it or can get very quickly. He has owned and sold some of the most rare sets in the biz.

I don't feel comfortable giving his name out. I didn't in my earlier posts. I've told him about this forum before trying to get him to visit sometime. He is old school and likes to lay low and be quiet. Great guy and a lot of help.
