The seller on that 71T Raymond was Cardfinesse. I just bought some raw 67T cards from him, they're in transit to me. He's got a great store, real nice pics.

Wow, certainly is a nice card but I can think of 100 cards I'd rather buy for that money. Shows you the draw of set registry. I had to go see if mine was worthy...I'd say it's a strong EXMT, very crisp corners...and OC.

I have the 71 set fully graded....prices for cards in this set have exploded over the past few years. When building the set, the 536 card was one I absolutely opted for in a 7 . It is the 2nd lowest pop for an 8 in this set, and one of 25 or so 8's that has 4 or fewer graded higher. Combination of those two stats really drive the price up for those set builders opting for 8's or better. If one was lucky, they could pick up a 71 Ryan and Mays in 8's for near the same price of this semi-high # common.

My log has mine graded as a 6. After reading this thread, I don't even have to look to know that it'll look just like that

High grade vintage commons going for stupid money is nothing new. The '71 Raymond is notoriously difficult to find anywhere near centered. That accounts for a lot of it...

I decided to pull out my card and see what it looks like.

Nice centering. I did the same with mine awhile back. It's sharp and centered nicely s-s, but is a bit low on the vertical centering. Alas, the potential PSA 10 I went looking for was not to be.

That's only $3,000 more than my complete set cost.
