I think it was a 1965 set not 1976.

76, but #1 on the PSA set registry.

There are many things I'd rather spend $173K on than a 1976 set of baseball cards, but each to his own.

My bad.. the 65 set was in Mile high auction. It sold for 175,000.

Babe Ruth bat for 212k. Or 1976 set for 175? Wow!

Consignor must've crapped himself on seeing that outcome.

I cannot fathom spending that kind of money on it, and it is my favorite baseball set from my childhood.

1976 set for 173k?..
The question that should be asked is how did the seller get 550 psa 10s?

That's the truth! It is a great year IMO. I recently purchased a very nice raw set. Some of the star cards need to be switched out because I want better centering, but my project will cost just a little less...
