CLOSED: 1972 Topps Trade/Reverse Auction, Day 17
OK, after a couple successful auctions, let's try it again. I'm going to list a bunch of 1972 Topps cards up for auction. However, I don't take cash...you can only bid with a scan of a card in trade. Since I collect T205 and T206 Sovereigns, those bids will tend to get higher weighting in case of multiple bids on the same day. If there are no bids at the end of the day (10PM Mountain Time), I'll add some more cards for the next day. The bids must be pre-WWII cards (no strip cards), but condition doesn't matter to me. I reserve the right to not accept a bid for whatever reason, but I'm generally not too picky. Shipping is on me, and you pay to pop yours in an envelope. Questions?
Here's the list (includes all cards from the posts below): 63 Duke Sims Ex 68 Jim York NrMt 77 Ron Theobald NrMt 92 AL ERA Leaders ExMt 102 Lloyd Allen NrMt 122 Larry Biittner NrMt 123 Ed Acosta NrMt 124 Yankees Rookies NrMt 142 Chris Chambliss ExMt 145 Don Kessinger NrMt 148 Dick Billings ExMt 149 Gary Neibauer ExMt 154 Ted Simmons Ex 155 Larry Dierker NrMt 158 Jerry Kenney NrMt 161 Brock Davis NrMt 165 Chris Speier Ex 172 Darrell Evans IA NrMt 174 Clay Kirby IA NrMt 175 Tom Haller ExMt 179 Dock Ellis NrMt 180 Dock Ellis IA NrMt 182 Ed Kranepool IA Ex 186 Ron Bryant IA NrMt 190 Dave Guisti NrMt 193 Kurt Bevacqua NrMt 194 Fred Norman NrMt 203 Ron Blomberg Ex 211 Garay Sutherland NrMt 216 Joe Niekro NrMt 220 Jim Perry NrMt 226 Roberto Clemente WS Game 4 Ex 227 World Series Game 5 NrMt 231 Casey Cox NrMt 234 Ron Taylor NrMt 239 Tom Timmerman NrMt 245 Tommie Agee NrMt 246 Tom Burgmeier NrMt 249 Harry Walker NrMt 254 Boots Day NrMt 255 Jim Lonborg ExMt 259 Sparky Lyle NrMt 269 Don Hahn NrMt 273 Bobby Floyd NrMt 274 Al Severinsen ExMt 275 Cesar Tovar Ex 276 Gene Mauch NrMt 281 Bill Parsons NrMt 287 Jim Hardin ExMt 288 Johnny Jeter NrMt 295 Dick Dietz ExMt 306 Ken Boswell IA NrMt 311 Clay Carroll NrMt 312 Clay Carroll IA NrMt 314 Luis Aparicio IA NrMt 317 Rich Hand NrMt 321 Joe Lahoud NrMt 322 Jose Pena NrMt 331 Stan Swanson NrMt 335 Bill Hands NrMt 349 Al Fitzmorris NrMt 355 Bob Watson NrMt 356 Gerry Moses NrMt 369 Jim Lefebvre NrMt 370 Don Buford NrMt 380 Earl Williams Ex 385 Mickey Stanley NrMt 391 Ken Sanders ExMt 399 Milt Wilcox NrMt 400 Tony Oliva ExMt 404 Jeff Torborg NrMt 412 Dick Kelley ExMt 414 Bob Miller NrMt 415 Cookie Rojas NrMt 418 Tom Shopay NrMt 421 Ellie Rodriguez NrMt 427 Tito Fuentes ExMt 430 Bob Robertson IA NrMt 436 Reggie Jackson IA Vg 437 Maury Wills NrMt 444 Ken Henderson IA ExMt 448 Willie Stargell IA Fr 451 Tony LaRussa Vg 452 Ed Herrmann NrMt 454 Oakland A's ExMt 456 Mark Belanger NrMt 457 Padres Rookies Vg 458 Aurelio Monteagudo ExMt 459 Rick Renick ExMt 460 Al Downing ExMt 462 Rickey Clark NrMt 464 Jim Roland NrMt 467 Steve Kline Vg 468 Richie Scheinblum NrMt 471 Luke Walker ExMt 472 Phil Gagliano NrMt 473 Dan McGinn NrMt 475 Gary Nolan NrMt 477 Tom Phoebus NrMt 479 Don Shaw NrMt 481 Billy Conigliaro NrMt 482 Joe Hoerner Vg 483 Ken Suarez NrMt 484 Lum Harris ExMt 486 John Lowenstein NrMt 489 Expos Rookies Ex 491 Lou Pinella BP NrMt 492 Mel Stottlemyre BP NrMt Take Care, Geno http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...s7b5vfqix.jpeg |
Day 2 additions
Here's a few more cards I've added to the list above:
148 Dick Billings ExMt 149 Gary Neibauer ExMt 275 Cesar Tovar Ex 281 Bill Parsons NrMt I always loved those trophies, and wondered if Topps actually gave those guys something! Parsons piled up a lot of innings in his rookie year, finishing 2nd to Chris Chambliss in ROY voting. He sort of tailspinned after that, and was gone a couple years later. I hope he still has his trophy to remember! http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...sochf9cvx.jpeg |
Yes, they really did give away trophies.
Here's a thread on the topic: http://www.net54baseball.com/archive...?t-182455.html And here's Billy Williams with his trophy: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps538cd7a3.jpg |
Day 3
Here's a few more nice ones for today!
288 Johnny Jeter NrMt 314 Luis Aparicio IA NrMt 418 Tom Shopay NrMt 231 Casey Cox NrMt http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...sirxfqszn.jpeg |
Day 4
OK, here's a few more for Day 4! Those IA cards are the best...loved those as a kid! I didn't start buying cards until 1974, but the older boys had these wickedly cool, colorful 72s with those awesome, horizontal action cards. How could they have such enticing cads as those, then throw in those horrible Boyhood Photos? I'm surprised any kid kept those.
Up to 38 cards, with 3 HOFers! 306 Ken Boswell IA NrMt 77 Ron Theobald NrMt 211 Gary Sutherland ExMt 239 Tom Timmerman NrMt http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...shkpvgdgw.jpeg |
Day 5
Here's a few more for Day 5!
42 total, 3 HOFers...and that pink hat!! How great is that? I think the Rangers should wear pink hats like that again. Who employed the Topps airbrusher? It must have been some family relative... 246 Tom Burgmeier NrMt 254 Boots Day NrMt 269 Don Hahn NrMt 317 Rich Hand NrMt http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...spk3ln6rw.jpeg |
Day 6 Additions
Here's a few more top add on...46 total cards now! One of my favorite things about those IA cards was using my other cards to try to figure out who the supporting actors were. One of my least favorite things was guy wearing what looked like garbage bags under their jerseys...I guess UnderArmour was years away in 1972!
349 Al Fitzmorris NrMt 356 Gerry Moses NrMt 430 Bob Robertson IA NrMt 259 Sparky Lyle NrMt http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...scye1ffth.jpeg |
Day 7 Additions
Here's four more on Day 7, making it an even 50 cards! There is no shortage of chain link fences in this set! Lefebvre had parts in Gilligan's Island and Batman back then. Dock Ellis might have seen Batman when he faced him...
287 Jim Hardin ExMt 355 Bob Watson NrMt 179 Dock Ellis NrMt 369 Jim Lefebvre NrMt http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...saxctyjrc.jpeg |
Day 8 additions
Here's a few more for today... up to 54 total. Sorry, no scans for the next few days, as I am away from my scanner.
404 Jeff Torborg NrMt 311 Clay Carroll NrMt 245 Tommie Agee NrMt 255 Jim Lonborg ExMt http://img.beckett.com/images/items_...3122/front.jpg That picture is not my actual card, but the hat is so bad, that I had to include it. I never knew that Lonborg became a dentist after retiring... so there you go. Also, he's the player in the picture behind the bar in Cheers that is supposed to be Sam Malone. Good stuff!! Take Care, Geno |
Day 9
Here's a few more for Thursday! With Palmer on the ERA card, that makes 58 total, with 4 HOFers...
427 Tito Fuentes ExMt 92 AL ERA Leaders ExMt 165 Chris Speier Ex 172 Darrell Evans IA NrMt For some reason, Tito Fuentes always makes me think of Chico Escuala from Saturday Night Live. And could somebody please tell me what Darrell Evans is doing on his card? |
Day 10
A few more today...62 total with 5 HOFers!
415 Cookie Rojas NrMt 226 Roberto Clemente WS Game 4 Ex 421 Ellie Rodriguez NrMt 63 Duke Sims Ex |
Day 11
Up to 66 cards!
203 Ron Blomberg Ex 380 Earl Williams Ex 161 Brock Davis NrMt 124 Yankees Rookies NrMt Sorry, still no scans until I get home... |
Day 12
Here's four more! I remember Bittner pitching an inning for the Cubs when I was a wee lad. I always thought that was really cool!
331 Stan Swanson NrMt 400 Tony Oliva ExMt 412 Dick Kelley ExMt 122 Larry Biittner NrMt No scans for a couple more days...sorry! |
Day 13
Four All-Star caliber guys in today's group! Kessinger was a personal favorite of mine, being a Cub fan. He was the batter in the "black cat" episode, and then later ended up managing on the South Side, where he was in the dugout on Disco Demolition Night. I think he locked the boys in the locker room when the riot broke out. Anyway, he was always remembered as the last guy left from those late sixties Cubs teams that featured four HOFers and never won.
142 Chris Chambliss ExMt 145 Don Kessinger NrMt 154 Ted Simmons Ex 182 Ed Kranepool IA Ex Up to 74 cards, almost 10% of the set! |
Day 14
We're up to 78 cards, which is officially 10% of the set!
295 Dick Dietz ExMt 391 Ken Sanders ExMt 399 Milt Wilcox NrMt 414 Bob Miller NrMt |
Day 15 additions
Here's a couple more for Day 15!
437 Maury Wills NrMt 456 Mark Belanger NrMt 123 Ed Acosta NrMt 175 Tom Haller ExMt http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...s40mxqwvy.jpeg |
I will make an offer tomorrow if there is no bid tonight.
|
Day 16
Up to 86 cards! Niekro hit one home run in his entire career. Guess who it came off of...A bit of nepotism, perhaps?
190 Dave Guisti NrMt 194 Fred Norman NrMt 216 Joe Niekro NrMt 274 Al Severinsen ExMt http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...s0ppu15ev.jpeg |
Day 17
Since it's Friday of a holiday weekend, here's 23 more on the pile! If I am counting right, I think we are at 108 now...
482 Joe Hoerner Vg 473 Dan McGinn NrMt 481 Billy Conigliaro NrMt 484 Lum Harris ExMt 489 Expos Rookies Ex 467 Steve Kline Vg 471 Luke Walker ExMt 472 Phil Gagliano NrMt 475 Gary Nolan NrMt 468 Richie Scheinblum NrMt 486 John Lowenstein NrMt 479 Don Shaw NrMt 492 Mel Stottlemyre BP NrMt 415 Cookie Rojas NrMt 491 Lou Pinella BP NrMt 483 Ken Suarez NrMt 477 Tom Phoebus NrMt 335 Bill Hands NrMt 460 Al Downing ExMt 436 Reggie Jackson IA Vg 180 Dock Ellis IA NrMt 68 Jim York NrMt 174 Clay Kirby IA NrMt http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...sgwjgkvat.jpeg |

Excellent bid!
Awesome! The auction will end tonight at 10 PM Mountain time!
|
Ugh I just picked up a bunch of T cards from a local online auction, but haven't actually gotten possession of them yet. would've been glad to throw a few at this as I am working on the '72 set.
|
If you want to post a picture of the card(s) you bid, HercDriver has been a good trading partner, and I wouldn't want you to miss out.
|
I appreciate that, but I hate to post pics I didn't take. Without the cards in hand I don't feel comfortable representing them with the seller's images (if I can even snatch them, I didn't look to see if they were protected)
|
Winner!
OK...auction closed! John wins the big lot... nice group, my friend! I'll PM you details. Scott, save your T cards... I'll probably do it again in a few weeks. Next time will probably have more stars and maybe some high numbers. Thanks to everyone for taking a look!
|
Just picked them up, so if you do it again and I don't respond PM me! Posting some in July Pickups.
