Default Three mailbag questions

1. Opinion sought on the PSA 8 Rex Mirich (football) MB now on ebay as a BIN. It is clearly NOT an MB as many have pointed out. PSA still makes mistakes with these cards although they are getting better.

2. Another asked about the BB, FB, Hot rod sets on Huggins and Scott that end soon--very unusual to see hot rod cards offered anywhere. Huggins and Scott seem to have more experience handling MBs than other auction houses, selling a Win a Card game every year or so and selling an occasional baseball or football subset. I would trust them as a solid auction house.

3. SCD grading MBs--none now, maybe in the future, they have been approached by at least two collectors on this. Beckett has only graded a few since PSA started.

I thought that those MB sets were part of your consignments Carlton, along with your 68 Topps holiday rack pack with the WL McCormick on the front

They are, I just didn't want to comment on my cards but answered the question talking about Bill Huggins who I think is a very trusty guy for the hobby. The guy who emailed me has a VG set of BB cards that he is thinking about selling down the road and wanted my opinion auction house vs ebay.

They are very nice looking sets Carlton...I would have been shocked if these sets were not out of your collection. Out of curiosity, were there any specific factor(s) that compelled you to offer the BB, FB and HR sets separate of each other rather than offer them altogether as a single set, or was the decision left up to H&S?

Larry, I figured some guys already had the baseball and would look to branch out to the FB or HR sets. Some collectors already have a BB set and would likely not want to buy those 77 cards. I thought there would be some collectors that knew nothing about this set before the SCD article and would want only baseball.

As one who loves collecting I think the best way to collect this set is to go to shows and card shops and check your own binders.

I have helped fellow collectors finish their MB sets or MB team sets over the years. One guy collected the Topps Rookie Trophy cards so he only wanted the Seaver, Reggie Smith, Carew cards. I always enjoy knowing what others like to collect.

If anyone is interested in something they could always PM me.

Could "always" use a centered "8" once you get that Brooksie "9"...

Default 1968 Topps Milton Bradley Cards

I have been collecting these cards (BB/FB/HR) for four plus years and have accumulated a large inventory(very difficult) of raw and PSA graded cards. I will be liquidating most of my inventory starting in January on Ebay. If any one is interested in purchasing cards directly from me prior, please email me at: finlcareer@aol.com Thank You, Tom....
