a couple of thoughts/comments:

* The cards in the card savers should, in my opinion, get graded. To be clear, I left those in the card savers for the scans just so numbnuts me wouldn't damage them...not trying to obscure any blemishes...in fact, I think the scans looks pretty good. If anyone is interested and wants "naked" scans, no problem

* I get a rough mix of the overall set as 53% ExMt+/NrMt, 47% Ex-ExMt. This mix compares nicely and quite favorably to recent REA set auctions, which I did use as some of my comps. A 47%NrMt, 46% Ex-ExMt, 7%VG set in this month's Fall auction had a similar mix of conditions on the superstar cards, with some of my keys grading higher, at $9900. A 42% NrMt, 47% ExMt set with a better Yaz but missing the mantle #350 in the December 2021 auction at $10,800. Both sets had far less graded cards...like a handful each. This set is frankly just better all-around than those two.


Asking $8250/obo via PayPal Good & Services.

If anyone is feeling particularly deal-ish, I would entertain a package deal with this set and the nice, loaded 1968 partial set and 1969 stars I listed separately. More to come.

These are bigger deals than my usual on this site...and I am relatively new. I do have references as to my grading and overall deal execution on this board if needed.

Thanks for looking...Tried to show everything in the scans/pics...PM with questions
