Arrow FT: A Slew of PSA 1973 Topps #615 Mike Schmidt RC's

Although 99.99999999% of the time (Wait, ONLY 99.99999999%?? Why is your estimate so low? ) Net54 is just a buying/selling site, I still remain hopeful that there are still collectors about with good stuff to trade.

I have a hoard of PSA/SGC graded 1973 Topps #615 Mike Schmidt High-Numbered HOF Rookie Cards* available for a good swap.

I haven't put a specific dollar trade value on anything. We all know what these guys are generally 'worth.'
If you're interested in a card/cards, PLMK from the get-go what types of stuff you have to trade.
To be clear, this isn't a fire sale. Since the card is the key to the 1973 set, I'm always happy to keep them.
At a minimum, I need to hold onto one or two of the best of these guys for my PC.

There is a list of things I am generally looking for posted below. If you are interested in talking, give me a shout!








*Notes:
• Do not be fooled, the stain on the PSA 8 is very obvious, very apparent. The card was originally labeled with a PD qualifier, but I asked PSA to change it to the proper ST designation. Unfortunately, the high-def scans have lightened it too much. (I fidgeted with the controls in an attempt to darken it a tad, but it didn't clarify the staining at all. I will happily show other pics/scans to anyone inquiring.) The invasive liquid is coffee-esque and appears on both the front and back. If you don't care about a splash of Taster's Choice on your 70's rookie cards, then it is a beautifully centered, sweet example!!
• I believe the 'PD' on the 7 is simply the fish-eye on Schmidtie's (isn't that the correct way his nickname should be spelled??) hat, or perhaps there's a little too much snow for a straight 7? Hell if I know, but one thing is certain, way back when they always pulled the 'PD" trigger too quickly.
• The second PSA 5 is a recently graded card under the newer, harsher standards. It looks beautiful, and I knew if I didn't grab it, the next person to see it would.



I am particularly interested in these:
• HOFers in nice shape from the 50's through early 70's (preferably graded, but open to cards in their natural state)
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Babe Ruth and Nolan Ryan cards
• 1971 Topps Greatest Moments
• Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups HOFers in nice shape
• 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
• 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOFers in nice shape
• 1967 Laughlin World Series (with address on back) in high grade
• Major HOFer rookie cards
• 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOFers in nice shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set in nice shape, hopefully with stars and/or high numbers
• And who knows what else?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
