    Just watched this vid for the third time today. Love it. That Earl Campbell card is so great. I always thought of him (and maybe Bo Jackson) as the baddest back. Going to have to pick that Earl card up. At one time Mean Joe was one of the most well-known players in the NFL because of the Coke commercial. I remember that commercial like it was yesterday. That may have been one of the first super SuperBowl commercials. A classic. And Sweetness... nothin’ to say there but he was amazing. Still upset Ditka let the Fridge take the TD in the blowout SB and didn’t give that to Peyton. I gotta get over it, it’s been 35 years! 😀

    No mention of the 1977 Topps Mexican? That set is by far the hardest set to build. All of the 528 cards in the set are typically 10 times as expensive. Lots of short prints and condition issues make this the most difficult - and expensive - set I have ever built.

Top 20 UFC/MMA cards that have sold on E-Bay would be more popular than you might otherwise think imo. 🤔 MMA is on 🔥🔥🔥 right now and the only way to popularize it is to promote it.

    Just recently I started looking into key 70's FB in ~ PSA 8 and have already picked up a couple from this list, as well as a couple "2nd year" cards. It's interesting, yet not all that surprising, that just about every card shown is currently selling @ 2x compared to Oct. 2020. 1970's FB, and even basketball, have much lower print runs than Topps baseball and perhaps people are starting to realize that, hence driving up prices.

    • @collectorinvestordealer
      @collectorinvestordealer  4 роки тому

      Good question, tough to say. For cards in the 70s, an "8" is considered high grade, while for cards in the 10s, and "8" is almost considered a low grade. But that may change over time. And Mahomes is so young, could have any number of super bowls left in him.

Your videos are remote drops no matter how many times I have seen them. Question that goes well with this video. Do you see complete team sets often? Im a Dolphins fan and starting a 1966 to 2000 Topps set. I think it will be a great hunt and might do another team after.

      Vintage RCs of HOFers have always appreciated in the past, even in lower grades. The higher the grade has been, the more the card has grown. But PSA 7s still have seen long term growth as well, no real reason to think they wont continue to.
