That's a beautiful Namath , you wouldn't have any duplicates of any 65 tall boys for sale to get the ball rolling would you ??


Thanks Tucker



QUOTE=oddball;1307369]The '65 Tall Boys is actually where I started with my vintage set building in 2005. So I've seen a ton of Ebay sales of the '65s for several years now.I focused on raw and graded cards in the EXMT-NRMT range and found it to be pretty affordable, especially with the raw stuff. Regular commons in EX condition are readily available for $3 to $4 apiece, with common short prints normally found in the $5-$7 range (again in EX condition). Sometimes you would even be able to snag VGEX singles for a couple of bucks!

If you're not too picky with the checklists, they won't be too bad. The only problem is Namath, who will run you up to $400 or so, even in PSA 2/PSA 3. Other than that, I bet you could put together a decent, presentable set in mid-grade for right around a thousand bucks. Probably $600 to $750 total in VGEX/VG would be my estimate. It is a great set that was a blast to put together!

Here is the key to my set:[/QUOTE]

Tucker: I actually have a few laying around that I've upgraded over the year. I haven't done a show for a long time, so I haven't unloaded them. Garron is probably EX, Webb is EX+, McGeever is also EX (top left looked like it was pinched in the edge of a snap-down case). All three of those still present well. Obviously, the Dawson is off-center, but the corners are a solid EXMT. PM me and we can settle on a suitable price if you are interested in any of them. Thanks!

I only bought 3 cards at the National and 2 are prewar baseball. Just this one for football...



Only that upper right corner keeps it from being an 8. Love the card, but dang these are huge holders and cards. Obviously my first 1965.
Thanks for looking

Good luck with your set Tucker. Bought this Namath from a guy from the East Coast. Great guy and he has a ton of 1965 cards, graded and raw. Will need to look for his ebay store address. He will give a nice break if deal done outside of eBay.

Jeff - that's the second time in two nationals, I saw something that caught my eye passed and you scooped them up a few hours later..in 2013 the National City Browns and now in 2014 the Eckersall postcard. Wait til Chicago ... you better bring your "A" game, instead of selling first then buying, I'm going to flip the order...

You mean these?











Bring it on, Carl! Or you could just sell ME some of the stuff you have that I need and kill two birds with one stone.
