1967 Topps high # "unofficial" price guide

[rsdill2]

I've been feverishly chasing '67 high numbers for a couple years to try and complete my set. Other than the Seaver (which is a whole different animal), I'm almost done. I've purchased on forums, eBay, or at local card shows/shops. Early in my chase, after a couple times of paying too much for a card labeled as a 'SP' that I found was selling for much less on eBay, I decided to create my own price list to help me know when to pull the trigger.

I like to buy raw, crease free, well-presenting cards that would typically grade a 5 or 6 or so. The prices I list, I define as "good deals" and basically if you can purchase an EX or better card at that price, do it.

The Topps Archives blog had a well researched post (link) in 2011 about price guide labeled single prints and sheet layout.

604 Red Sox $55
605 Shannon $50
606 Taylor $15
607 Stanley $40
608 RCs DP $5
609 John $35

In summary, other than Carew, the 'DP' cards are easily available for < $10 and seem to consistently demand a lower price suggesting they're all correctly identified as double prints. However, there's a wide range of selling prices among the "common" non-DPs. With some "no name" guys selling in the $30+ range and others for < $10 which suggests a wide variance in demand among single prints (be it artificially created or by production numbers).

Anyway, thought this might help somebody else out there chasing '67 high numbers.

Robert-- thanks for sharing your findings and good luck in finishing the set. One of my favorites. How many do you still need ?

It is a great set. The photography is, in my opinion, one of the best Topps released. Still need 30 or so low #s but I haven't been chasing them very much. Need 14 high numbers, most notably Seaver then Cash and the rest are relatively common.

1967 is to my mind the best looking set of the 60's and I would say it could even be the best design of any Topps set if pressed (my top designs in chrono. order: 52 55 57 67 71 72). I find the high numbers fascinating and did a bit of an update on the math in a post about four years ago. Worth a look if you are interested in the SP and DP theories.

Dave:

I know we have had this discussion but I'm in agreement with the OP's list of 67 Hi #'s

I know from my dealing days back in the day -- that most of those cards listed as DP's were

1) Much easier to find in lots

2) Much Harder to sell to collectors

3) Available easily from other dealers

Somewhere that other half of the sheet is out there. I'm hoping Mulder and Scully can find it.
