Thanks for compiling and sharing, John. Comments: Mantle dominated the 50’s list. The Simoli and Robinson Venezuelan card made the 60’s list probably due to grade and rarity and the 70’s Willie Horton because of PSA 10 grade. Lot of collectors still have disposable income to pick up cards. Too high for my budget.
Thanks Kevin. I agree with all your comments. That Venezuelan Robinson card is a little suspicious though having sold for so much more than the previous high. According to eBay it was a sold and completed listing. But since it didn’t show up in VCP, I wonder if the transaction actually went through. But for my videos I go off of what eBay says are sold listings.
nice cards agree Garvey belongs on the list!!! nice cards Lou Whitaker rookie, Bench and Fisk, Wille Horton, Homerun king , Mr. October late 70's Mike Schmidt , Willie Mccovey.
Kind of surprising to me that the highest-graded 1952 Topps Mantle selling on eBay was a PSA 1.5. Maybe the higher grades sold at auction houses. Regarding that PSA 10 common that sold for $4500, it's amazing how much a deep-pockets collector will pay to upgrade a 1960 common from PSA 9 to 10, to nudge their GPA up a smidge in the PSA Set Registry.
There isn’t always a 52 Mantle that sells on eBay every month. I think most of the higher graded examples are sold through auction houses. And yes, it always surprises me when I see a high grade of a common card in a set sell for a crazy price. Must be a set registry thing by people that will spend whatever to work their way up the leaderboard. But, we all collect in our own way and some have a lot more money to spend than the rest of us.
@@WadeBoggsFan In the early 2000s I was obsessed with my Johnny Bench master set in the PSA Registry. I was usually #2 or #3 on the leader board, but #1 was within reach. I even had a PSA 9 Bench rookie and Venezuelan Bench rookie. Once I won an auction at $300 for a 1979 Bench PSA 10. That was a crazy stupid price back then, but I was bidding against a Registry rival who also wanted that 10. Twenty-plus years later, the last eBay sale was $855, so it worked out OK. Anyway, I get it about Registry madness, but it still amazes me when it's abouit a common.
Good to see Garvey at the top for the 1970s. He had more 200 hits seasons than Tony Gwynn and had five gold gloves.
Wow. I was not aware of that. I would have thought that Gwynn had more given his higher batting average.
Beautiful card Jim! Thanks for sharing
Hey John I commented on another video and it showed up on yours 😂 sorry about that.
Good stuff John.
Thanks Russel!
Well done my friend 🎉🎉
Thanks Ken!
Awesome list
Thanks Orlando!

RIP Luis Tiant!❤
He was a great pitcher. There’s a case that he should be in the Hall of Fame.
