What else do you collect?

[OgNasty]

Any Transformers The Movie 1986 fans around here? They just released a set of cards with Upper Deck for the 40 year anniversary, including a set of numbered cards and some autographs. I’m not a pack ripper but I am going to score a set of the numbered cards on eBay. One of my favorite movies ever. Now I’m going to have to watch for old cartoon voice actor signings.

Got my set of x/1986 numbered cards and a nice little display.  I had to do some hunting to keep from overpaying for my Optimus Prime...

I also found the 1 card I was missing to complete my PSA10 big head card collection (only 1 exists) and the seller wanted $750 for it!  It is a $1 card...  Someone else ended up buying it anyway, but I'm sure there are probably a dozen people sending their $1 cards in to be graded now so it is only a matter of time.  When I complete it I'm scheduled to appear on a card collecting podcast.

Shoot me a pm if you get on the pod cast

I have a lifetime goal on the Ben Franklin Phillie mint.


I WANT every year ie 1950-1963 in pf69 condition.

But those 1950,1951,1952,1953 pf69s are really pricey.

The 1948 and 1949 do not come in pf of any kind.

I ESTIMATE that 1948-1953 would be over 60k together in top rankings.

While the 1954 to 1963 are about 14k together. In pf69

https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/6213670-001/69/

  the 1952 in pf69 is rated at 13500 worth.

 listed on ebay at 10,500 which is pricey

They’ve been begging me to come on for a while but I haven’t had anything I thought was cool enough to show off. It isn’t even the psa10 versions of the set I’m collecting either, but the entire autographed set of cards. I am 1 Ken Griffey Jr away. Don’t know if I’ll share that podcast appearance with the Bitcoin folks or not. I’ll have to see how it comes out first. 

If I can ever get Griffey’s signature…

I was able to get a deal on the 1952 PF69 Ben Franklin.


so I am closing in on the best set in the world

1948         these 2 are
1949         only MS68  FBL

1950       this may not get up to PF69 I have seen PF67*
1951       not sure what this goes up to

1952      PF69 !!!!! yes

1953      PF68 not sure if a PF69 can be found there is a PF68 cameo

1954      PF69 yes
1955      PF69 yes
1956T1  PF69 yes
1956T2  PF69 yes
1957      PF69 yes
1958      PF69 yes
1959      PF69 yes
1960      PF69 yes
1961      PF69 Yes
1962      PF69 yes
1963      PF69 yes



so the bold ones I need better than I have

 so 12 down and 5 to go.

That’s how I feel about the stuff I collect too. Even though when I die it’ll probably end up in a box getting donated to Goodwill. It’s about the hunt!

The  ones below will be very costly

1950       this may not get up to PF69 I have seen PF67*
1951       not sure what this goes up to

1953      PF68 not sure if a PF69 can be found there is a PF68 cameo

maybe 100k for them

and the do not show up much

Thats very interesting, I like old hand tools and like to "fix them up" to enough of a standard
that broken bits are fixed and blades are sharp but I rarely repaint or recoat metal parts, the
best I do with them is give them a coating of either microcrystalline Wax or ACF-50.

I see from the image you posted it seems that some of the parts on the hand drill have been
nickel plated, is that correct and did you do that metal plating yourself?

I can imagine, and there is defintely a fair amount of cost gone into the exiating PF69's already?
Thats some collection there.

the 1954 to 1963  cost about 12-15k

the 1952 was listed at 13500

I paid under 10k

so maybe 24k for the ones I have so far.


the 1952 I got at PF69 and there are 19 in theory

the 1953 is at best a PF69 there are 23 of them  I have a PF68

the ones below I have

the 1954 comes in PF69 lists for  4250
the 1955 comes in PF69 lists for    900
the 1956I comes in PF69 lists for 2500
the 1956II comes in PF69 lists for 400
the 1957   comes in PF69 lists for 600
the 1958   comes in PF69 lists for 900
the 1959   comes in PF69 lists for 825
the 1960   comes in PF69 lists for 860
the 1961   comes in PF69 lists for 675
the 1962   comes in PF69 lists for 500
the 1963   comes in PF69 lists for 500

I think I can get the 1953 one day

but the 1950 and 1951 may cost too much to get in pf69

[aoluain]

Would you go again with a PF68 collection?
