Thanks for the updated list, Chris. Sanguillen was the only Clemente teammate not at the funeral. He was still out in the waters searching for Roberto.
Growing up watching Garvey and collecting his cards, I will never understand why he is not in the Hall of Fame. He had a great career and often overlooked is how well he performed when it really counted in the playoffs. Also had a very long consecutive game streak.
Dave G. You are Soo right!!! Steve Garvey was a great player--Pitchers knew they were into a challenge -----Steve had power and could put one into the seats often he was a gentleman----and knew how to play first base-----and baseball.
Little correction note, sorry. Dick Allen has missed the HOF the last two times by one vote. In my opinion, it’s the most glaring oversight by HOF voters for any player. I hope he’s in on the next session.
Dick is still paying the price for the fact the writers hated him during his career, (perhaps with good reason...) and shafted him in the early going on the writer's ballots. He was the first black superstar who did things "his way" in terms of not towing the line that other black players seemingly had before him. Put it this way, the swagger of a Reggie Jackson would have been impossible were it not for Dick Allen paving the way. His cold stats anymore just make his HOF omission more glaring by the year. The man led all of baseball in OPS for a solid decade - above names like Aaron, Clemente, and Mays. Very well deserving, and a shame they didn't put him in before his death.
@@jchcollins I blame Bill James and his outlandish claims about Allen in his book The Politics of Glory. IMO, although brash and outspoken, James did major damage to Allen in what now are disproven facts. I am certain that Allen will get in on the next vote though.
@@markkarpinski1460 I actually came off less impressed with Allen than I had been when I read his biography. He could live up to his name admirably. I understand why he did the things he did, but he didn't help himself out ever in his career in terms of his later HOF consideration. History suggests he will get in eventually at this point, yes. I do hope it is soon.
@@jchcollins I'm not condoning how Allen reacted at his boiling point. He always ran hot, but between Bill James, the Philly Media, the city and some of his racist teammates and managers, I can't blame him for speaking up. He exposed a lot of it, but the essay by Craig Wright, “Another View,” for the SABR “Baseball Research Journal,” Vol. 24, 1995, exposes even more. Now Ted Williams, who is legendary for his mistreatment of the press, the fans and management is firmly cemented in the Hall, as well as many racist players, managers and front office people. Sadly, with his passing, the only correction of injustice will be done for his family.
@@markkarpinski1460 Exactly. If he had been white he would have been in the HOF a long time ago. What I am saying is that knowing what he knew about how things would shake out - Dick did things his way still. You gotta admire that.
As I've gotten older, that '71 set has continued to climb on my list of all time favorites. When I was kid, the '71s didn't interest me as much mainly because the set lacked any really big time rookies. Now I appreciate it for the set itself and not the number of rookies it contains.
Hey thanks Chris I just started collecting 1970s Topps this January so far I got mostly 78 & 79 working my way backwards! So this information was very valuable!
Thurman should be in hall of fame. Just like Sandy Koufax who only had 5 great great years he had 9 great years and was still in prime. 4 more years if he did not die would have been a no doubter. Not sure why people don’t consider on committee
So enjoyed this as these sets were the ones that I collected as a kid and was able to complete back in the 80's. Those 71's are so darn tough yet I always loved the balk borders....my favorite set of all time though is the 72....the colors just pop...thanks for the update!!
Love the videos, always takes me back.. Grew up buying the 70 thru 77 Topps As life happens we moved aliot and all my cards disappeared..Couple years ago not to get into details. I received them after 40 years. Do not know how to have them graded. There are so many I do not know where to begin. I thank you again.
I still remember getting many of these when I was a kid in the 70s buying packs for about ten cents. Most are still tucked away in my card collecting boxes.
Great video! I love vintage over modern. Thanks for all the work you do in these videos for our entertainment and education as far as I’m concerned. Has helped me a lot in my collection and investing. Thanks for sharing! God Bless!!
True, I do the same, but do not sleep on the 80s, 90s 2000 and modern players, all these cards shown were very cheap many years ago. So when talking about investing, you have to be diverse or pay up for the future greats.
If you find a nice raw 1971 card I would advise to put under black light. You want to make sure that it has not been sharpies in. If it has been colored in it will glow. Target has a black light pen for around $15.
Awesome video, Chris. The 1971 Topps Thurman Munson, is one of my favorite cards in my collection. Please do an updated version of the most valuable cards, from 1975-to-1979, but perhaps include Beckett and/or SGC, in addition to the PSA too.
No cap you have the best sports channel on the tube I love your original content I love these type of videos I love when you give us the high rollers amazing content appreciate it
I know the 70 Topps is Munson’s rookie, but the ‘71 Topps is such an iconic card and one the cards from my child hood I had, lost, and got back and will honestly never part with. It’s such a beautiful card!!
I believe the answer is the undervalued Bert Blyleven, amazingly from 1971 Topps. Always looking forward to the rollers and whatever else you throw our way. Thanks!
I never cared for the '71s. they were too much like the '62s and the corners and edges were to easily damaged. my favorite TOPPS sets are '56, '57, '60, '63, '72, '75, and 1952! I went ABSOLUTELY CRAZY over the Fleer 1959 set!! and I really liked the Bowman 1955 set (I kick myself, I didn't buy the 1955 set Near Mint at a card show once)!
Great video i have the 1970 Hank Aaron card 500 would love to have it graded one day when things cool down at PSA because it's very well centered and no soft corners
I know where I can pick up a mint state raw Mike Schmidt rookie card that'll grade high for under 500 and checking Monday to see if it's still available ! I'm all over it if so ,I'll be fckg stealing the card ! It'll grade at least an 8 by these eyes!
Great video!! Having been born in 1960, this is my area of cards! I still have pretty much every card on the list in various conditions. 1971 is my favorite year but so hard to get in good condition. Thanks Chris.
I think the 1972 set is a more interesting set than the 1971. It reflects the bright and various colors of the 1970’s. It also seems to be more unique and a little less expensive.
Has there ever been a movie made on Clemente's life? I don't believe so, but a modern movie would probably boost his cards values. Also I would LOVE to watch it!!!!
Thanks for this. Enjoyed this video and a few others of yours recently. I am surprised that 1972 Carew didn't make this list. It was always the highest priced in the '70's, early '80's.
Great video as always Chris! This is the era when I started collecting and I own approximately three-quarters of the cards you showed. All my cards are still raw, but from what you've taught me I doubt very few of them would be psa7
Geez to think the amount of money we wasted putting these in the spokes of our bikes. I remember having multiples of the 71 reggie jackson that I traded when I was a kid.
Quick suggestion since you started re doing these lol. Maybe up and down arrows based on the previous video. Give it that beckett feel lol. I love these as using the 7 is a very good number and one that tells us if grading a good raw copy would be worth it( eventually) lol.
Great video! It's also great timing as I have been getting together a list of 60's &70's HOF RC I'd like to find raw. Wish I could afford them graded. But looking at your PSA 5 prices maybe I could afford a few. It's a new project I have been thinking about if I can get to any card shows this year or next year. I would love to go the Raleigh show and hang out with you Chris for what ever time we can.
5:12 In my best BCCID voice "Interesting fact that is obviously driving the value of this card, it's the first player featured on a baseball card with a mustache in some 50 years. Wow."
4:03 - 10 time all star, an MVP award, and played in LA? weird how this guy not in the HoF, yet we are debating on Todd Helton and Scott Rolen today. he seems better than they were
Garvey was definitely regarded as a Hall of Famer during his playing days. He was generally regarded as the best player on the 1970s Dodger teams, though it was not clear he actually was. Playing in a pitcher's park most of his career, and a quick decline after his prime, meant that he didn't have the great numbers a 1B is expected to have.
Chris, good point on not more pitchers being included. To me, this comes back around to the era and all people want to celebrate from the 70's is Nolan Ryan. (Sandy Koufax is the same for the 60's). While I get that for most collectors, hitters and especially homerun hitters are going to generally be more popular than pitchers, it's perhaps most glaring in the decade of the 70's. But just narrowing down to pitchers, Ryan was only one (and not the best even...) of many notable pitchers including Seaver, Carlton, Palmer, Perry, Jenkins, Tiant, Hunter...and yet today because of the K and No-No record, all anyone wants to talk about is Ryan. That has been one thing about this era of the vintage hobby that has baffled me ever since I got back into collecting as an adult about 6 years ago.
@@acecampbell8594 Most of the guys I named, probably. Ryan did the sexy things with K's and no-hitters, that's why he is held in such high regard today. But the pitching stats which contribute most to winning ball games - ERA, WHIP, BB/K percentage, winning percentage - and just in one case, Seaver is easily on top. Winning percentage is off the charts better than Ryan, over .600. ERA under 3 for a 300 game winner. Which of the great 70's pitchers did more to win ball games? As impressive as Ryan is, he wasn't in the upper echelon of that category during his prime.
I have a few each of those 1971 Reggie Jackson and Pete Rose cards. Probably about 100 of the 1971 Topps cards in total. They were my dad’s. I don’t collect and don’t know anything about grading, but they look brand new. Corners are sharp and there’s not a scratch on them. I put them in a binder as a kid and they’ve been in it for 30 years.
Goose is my guess (did not cheat and look at any other replies below) Chris - I love these lists. Particularly happy because I’ve been trying to do a 71 set PSA 5 to 8. It’s complete, but only about 20% graded. All the stars are graded, just need to finish grading or buying the commons! My highest graded star or key card is a Reggie in a PSA 7
Great video as always Chris. Happy to see the Mike Schmidt made the top 5. Also notable that his card in a PSA 10 topped them all. My PC has a 7. The answer to your trivia question. Took me a bit of time to get the answer, and I did it without cheating; but it’s Rich (Goose) Gossage. Didn’t see his 1973 Topps RC anywhere on your list.
I have the 1971 Hank Aaron, the 1971 Pete Rose, 1971 Johnny Bench, '71 Reggie Jackson , and 1971 Steve Garvey rookie card. I'm still trying to get the '71 Bob Clemente and Thurman Munson though. The Nolan Ryan '71 is pretty pricey too, still trying to get that one to complete my 1971 set.
Nice Video! The crazy low pop on that 71 Topps set is ridiculous. Look at the OPC sets from 71 and they have almost no pop much less low pop! Like less then 20 cards graded total low. I had blazer of Nolan Ryan 71 OPC BVG 6 I sold 15 years ago....I could only imagine what that would pull at auction today.
I'm in process of putting an amazing set of Nolan Ryan collection together and the oldest one I have is a 1972 Topps ! That 1970 Nolan Ryan Topps just moved to #1 on my list past 1980 Henderson Rookie card ! 1970 Ryan card is fckg AWESOME and favorite all time player !
I think getting all 20 in PSA 5 today for a couple thousand dollars, and throwing them in the safe deposit box for 20-30 years, would seem to be the bargain of the century.
Don’t just do a few more please. Keep ‘em comin’! Great videos man. There’s just something about your videos and narration I really enjoy. Thank you sir
Great video! A few notes - Rich Allen didn't make the hall unfortunately, and Mays is *6th on the home run list. Great content as always though Chris, thanks for taking the time to make it!
In many cases, almost usually due to multiple players, even though Munson has only one other. Nolan Ryan, and koseman, seem okay, partnered up. Though cal ripken's same year traded card out values his first. So, it seems fickle, seaver ,Steve Carlton,Pete rose, and what's with Yaz? That's a head scratcher no matter what. So, a segment to clarify,. Classify, confuse, would be welcomed...
If you can get a demolition team,I can show you where 7,000 Topps cards from 1956-1965 are buried.I threw them away on a field in 1966 which soon after a housing project was built on the site.In those days,they probably didn't clean up the area before building so a few thousand may still be there.
Several of the hall of famers would have been in the top 10 with multiple different cards. Nolan Ryan for instance has the 1970 and 1971 cards that are both over 380 for psa 7 copies
Not sure what you mean by reprint, but both Mays and Aaron were still active in '73 and have regular cards in the set. Also it's card #1 in the set, and those tend to show up in worse condition due to being stored on top and in the front in boxes.
Thanks for the updated list, Chris. Sanguillen was the only Clemente teammate not at the funeral. He was still out in the waters searching for Roberto.
Famous last words: “Hey honey, I just dropped $55,000 on a Bert Blyleven baseball card.”
Can you imagine how many trips to the nail salon that would have covered. The things you guys waste your money on, sheesh!
LMAO! I'm shook
I mean, just on general principle. Blyleven was a good pitcher but 55K for one of his cards? I don't think so, lol.
His wife said, hold my martini!
Ah no...
Growing up watching Garvey and collecting his cards, I will never understand why he is not in the Hall of Fame. He had a great career and often overlooked is how well he performed when it really counted in the playoffs. Also had a very long consecutive game streak.

I agree. I was a rabid Phillies fan throughout the mid 70's early 80's. And the two hitters we feared the most were Joe Morgan and Steve Garvey.

I just made a mid-grade 71 set. Was stressful finding the last few cards. Worth it though.

That was my era starting as a 9 year old kid in 1970. Had all of them. Looking at the ‘70 cards brought back a lot of memories especially

I never cared for the '71s. they were too much like the '62s and the corners and edges were to easily damaged. my favorite TOPPS sets are '56, '57, '60, '63, '72, '75, and 1952!

A Great lineup. Thanks for your time. Always Informed me in some of the card's I have. To be Graded, hmmm or not..
Mike Schmidt 1974 2nd year card still very reasonable for a PSA 9 IMO.
I know where I can pick up a mint state raw Mike Schmidt rookie card that'll grade high for under 500 and checking Monday to see if it's still available ! I'm all over it if so ,I'll be fckg stealing the card ! It'll grade at least an 8 by these eyes!
One thing I would have loved to see was pop counts for these cards, but as someone who is getting more into cards, great video.
Great video!! Having been born in 1960, this is my area of cards! I still have pretty much every card on the list in various conditions. 1971 is my favorite year but so hard to get in good condition. Thanks Chris.

Has there ever been a movie made on Clemente's life? I don't believe so, but a modern movie would probably boost his cards values. Also I would LOVE to watch it!!!!
There have been talks about a Clemente movie in the works. I know, his son, Roberto Clemente Jr. Wants to make it happen. Hopefully one of these days.
Thanks for this. Enjoyed this video and a few others of yours recently. I am surprised that 1972 Carew didn't make this list. It was always the highest priced in the '70's, early '80's.

I actually have every one of these cards. My Father In-law was friends with him and played with him before his professional career.
Cool video, helps newbies like me know what to look out for.
I really enjoyed your narrative. Crazy amount to pay PSA 9/10. MY FAVORITE IS THE 71T Ryan with the RC sign in the background. No Bob Gibson!
71 Topps are beautiful simple design 👌
4:03 - 10 time all star, an MVP award, and played in LA? weird how this guy not in the HoF, yet we are debating on Todd Helton and Scott Rolen today. he seems better than they were
Garvey was definitely regarded as a Hall of Famer during his playing days. He was generally regarded as the best player on the 1970s Dodger teams, though it was not clear he actually was. Playing in a pitcher's park most of his career, and a quick decline after his prime, meant that he didn't have the great numbers a 1B is expected to have.
Great job...I really enjoyed this video! I don't think Rose should ever be inducted in the HOF but like you said it's subjective. Really nice job!
Great Vid I'd take the aaron over 6 used camrys any day 😎
I'm not surprised that the 71 Topps dominated the list. The 71s Topps set are condition sensitive. Suggestion do the same but without any 1971 .
I like the idea of 3 leaders in a stat card...
Chris, good point on not more pitchers being included. To me, this comes back around to the era and all people want to celebrate from the 70's is Nolan Ryan. (Sandy Koufax is the same for the 60's). While I get that for most collectors, hitters and especially homerun hitters are going to generally be more popular than pitchers, it's perhaps most glaring in the decade of the 70's. But just narrowing down to pitchers, Ryan was only one (and not the best even...) of many notable pitchers including Seaver, Carlton, Palmer, Perry, Jenkins, Tiant, Hunter...and yet today because of the K and No-No record, all anyone wants to talk about is Ryan. That has been one thing about this era of the vintage hobby that has baffled me ever since I got back into collecting as an adult about 6 years ago.

@John which pitcher are you saying was better than Ryan in this range?
@@acecampbell8594 Most of the guys I named, probably. Ryan did the sexy things with K's and no-hitters, that's why he is held in such high regard today. But the pitching stats which contribute most to winning ball games - ERA, WHIP, BB/K percentage, winning percentage - and just in one case, Seaver is easily on top.

As impressive as Ryan is, he wasn't in the upper echelon of that category during his prime.
I can still hear Chris Berman saying Bert "be home Blyleven"

Gossage is correct!
Fun fact! If you want to see some interesting footage with Willie Mays look into the whos line is it anyway clips from the 50's
I guessed Dave Winfield....realised after 2nd view you said that....I'm clueless...Dave Parker hopefully one day
Great video as always Chris. Happy to see the Mike Schmidt made the top 5. Also notable that his card in a PSA 10 topped them all. My PC has a 7. The answer to your trivia question. Took me a bit of time to get the answer, and I did it without cheating; but it’s Rich (Goose) Gossage. Didn’t see his 1973 Topps RC anywhere on your list.
Gossage is correct!
I have the 1971 Hank Aaron, the 1971 Pete Rose, 1971 Johnny Bench, '71 Reggie Jackson , and 1971 Steve Garvey rookie card. I'm still trying to get the '71 Bob Clemente and Thurman Munson though. The Nolan Ryan '71 is pretty pricey too, still trying to get that one to complete my 1971 set.
Nice Video! The crazy low pop on that 71 Topps set is ridiculous. Look at the OPC sets from 71 and they have almost no pop much less low pop! Like less then 20 cards graded total low. I had blazer of Nolan Ryan 71 OPC BVG 6 I sold 15 years ago....I could only imagine what that would pull at auction today.
I'm in process of putting an amazing set of Nolan Ryan collection together and the oldest one I have is a 1972 Topps ! That 1970 Nolan Ryan Topps just moved to #1 on my list past 1980 Henderson Rookie card ! 1970 Ryan card is fckg AWESOME and favorite all time player !
I think getting all 20 in PSA 5 today for a couple thousand dollars, and throwing them in the safe deposit box for 20-30 years, would seem to be the bargain of the century.
A lot of those PSA 5s seem cheap because the black border cards make the 7s very rare.
Great Video Chris. Just so you know, Wilie Mays is now sixth in All-Time Home Runs.
Good call on that
Bonds and ARoid should not count
Don’t just do a few more please. Keep ‘em comin’! Great videos man. There’s just something about your videos and narration I really enjoy. Thank you sir
Great video! A few notes - Rich Allen didn't make the hall unfortunately, and Mays is *6th on the home run list. Great content as always though Chris, thanks for taking the time to make it!
Good catches on those!
The Vida blue gene tenace is a sleeper as the Oakland team dominant in the early seventies. 😊
I'm curious to see what players have 2nd year cards more valuable than their rookie card like Munson
In many cases, almost usually due to multiple players, even though Munson has only one other. Nolan Ryan, and koseman, seem okay, partnered up. Though cal ripken's same year traded card out values his first. So, it seems fickle, seaver ,Steve Carlton,Pete rose, and what's with Yaz? That's a head scratcher no matter what. So, a segment to clarify,. Classify, confuse, would be welcomed...
@@deanerlarrald6492 Great examples!
If you can get a demolition team,I can show you where 7,000 Topps cards from 1956-1965 are buried.I threw them away on a field in 1966 which soon after a housing project was built on the site.In those days,they probably didn't clean up the area before building so a few thousand may still be there.
I have a few of those, two of the pete rose cards (but not the most valuable) and the dave winfield card.
I have a lot of these cards from the 73 and 72 series I believe Most of the ones you showed Where would I take them to be appraised
Yes because no one is like Pete Rose there's no more guys getting 200 hits season
Several of the hall of famers would have been in the top 10 with multiple different cards. Nolan Ryan for instance has the 1970 and 1971 cards that are both over 380 for psa 7 copies
Noting Chris’ price of a used Camry has gone up. Used to be 7-9k and now 10k.
1973 Goose Gossage rookie did not make the list. Fun to see these.
Correct!
Neither Ozzie or Eddie made it ay? Weird. Thanks for the great content, as always.
Ozzies RC is 1979 and Murray is 1978
Hey what about Don Sutton, Topps 673 ,, Andy McGaffigan Topps 488 ,, Don Baylor Jim Rice ?
Hey Chris, great video! I believe the answer is Goose Gossage? ('73)
Gossage is correct!
Bruce Sutter was a rookie during this era and made the Hall Of Fame.
Sutter's Rookie is 1977
Shocked at the 73 Ruth, Aaron Mays. Its basically a reprint. 1971 Garvey my favorite card.
Not sure what you mean by reprint, but both Mays and Aaron were still active in '73 and have regular cards in the set. Also it's card #1 in the set, and those tend to show up in worse condition due to being stored on top and in the front in boxes.
I don't know what you mean by a reprint on the Babe Ruth Hank Aaron and Willie Mays
Very interesting video I enjoyed this I believe the answer is Rollie fingers
Nope I think it’s the goose Gossage
Gossage is correct!
