4th Best 1967 Topps Set Broken; Singles Net Over $170,000

October 7, 2018 By Rich Mueller

The fourth best 1967 Topps baseball set on PSA’s Registry is no more.  Bidders in Mile High Card Company’s latest auction put down enough big bids on individual cards that the 607 card set was sold individually at a cumulative total of $170,133, besting the top bid for the set as a whole.

With nearly every card grading 9 or 10, there were plenty of options for collectors to upgrade their own set.  Record-shattering prices were attained for numerous cards including the #150 Mickey Mantle. Graded PSA 9, the card sold for a shocking price of nearly $14,552–about seven times what they typically sold for just five years ago. A PSA 10 Al Kaline from the set rocketed to $13,021. The two key high number rookie cards—Tom Seaver and Rod Carew, both graded 9—netted over $12,000 combined.

“Prices all across the board were at or near record numbers in this auction. It’s a good time to be a Mile High Card Company consignor and we anticipate even better results going forward,” said MHCC President and CEO Brian Drent.

A T206 Eddie Plank SGC 40 VG 3 was another featured attraction and one collector finally nailed it down for a price of $65,362.  A 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle PSA 4.5 VG/EX+ sold for $44,504, over $3,000 above the previous sales record.  A 1970 Topps #600 Willie Mays PSA 10 GEM MINT destroyed the previous record of $6,809 in 2015 with a winning bid $34,045 while a 1950 Bowman #22 Jackie Robinson PSA 8 NM/MT shattered the old record by nearly 30% with a winning bid of $13,003.

Other big sellers included a 1933 Goudey #92 Lou Gehrig PSA 8 NM/MT which realized  $44,128, a T206 Ty cobb (bat on shoulder) graded PSA 7 that reached $26,016; a rare 1928 Sociedade Industrial #100 Ruth/Gehrig SGC 70 EX+ 5.5 that drew intense late bidding before fetching $16,043, a 1956 Topps #30 Jackie Robinson Grey Back PSA 9 MINT that closed at $14,480, a 1956 Topps #33 Roberto Clemente PSA 9 MINT that hit $21,726, a 1956 Topps #135 Mickey Mantle Gray Back PSA 8 NM/MT that sold for $7,618, 1959 Morrell Meats Sandy Koufax PSA 7.5 NM+ that finished at an astonishing $25,172, a 1966 Topps #50 Mantle SGC 9.5 MINT+ that hammered for $19,216, and a 1959 Bazooka Jim Brown Hand Cut PSA 5 EX that went back and forth between bidders before finishing at $7,448.

Several PSA 9 MINT 1962 Topps football cards destroyed the record books, including #24 Ron Bull at $5,440, #25 Bears Team at $4,945, #32 Lou Groza at $5,017, #58 Alex Karras at $4,495 and #122 J.D. Smith at $4,495.

Rookie cards continued to be hot with a 1958-59 Topps #66 Bobby Hull SGC 8 NM/MT hitting a record-shattering final price of $52,332, a 1936 National Chicle Joe DiMaggio Slams It PSA 8 NM/MT bringing in $8,467, a 1948 Leaf #8 Satchel Paige PSA 1 PR doubling the previous record price at $7,348, a 1951 Bowman #6 Don Newcombe PSA 10 GEM MINT selling for $10,233, a 1959 Topps #514 Bob Gibson PSA 9 MINT closing at $11,641, a 1975 Topps #620 Gary Carter PSA 10 GEM MINT that found a new home at $8,179 and a 2003 SP Authentic #148 LeBron James Autographed PSA 10 GEM MINT posting a new record price at $17,872.  

Autograph seekers turned out in heavy numbers to chase items like a Babe Ruth single-signed baseball that closed to strong bidding at $40,336, a 1939 All Star Game multi-signed OAL (Harridge) Ball with 23 signatures Featuring Gehrig, DiMaggio, Foxx and Ott which sold for $8,745 and a 1958 Topps Baseball near complete autographed set (442/494=all PSA/DNA encapsulated which will change hands at $11,541.

Game-used and memorabilia items sold included a 1969-70 Reggie Jackson Oakland A’s game-worn vest-style jersey ($13,731), a 1973 Bob Griese Miami Dolphins helmet ($3,819) and a 1982 St. Louis Cardinals World Series ring belonging to Orlando Sanchez ($7,950).

Sets sold included a 1933 Goudey($11,156), a 1950 Bowman baseball set with nearly all cards graded, ($7,950), the ninth best 1961 Fleer baseball set on the PSA Set Registry ($5,586), the fourth best 1959 Topps football set ($30,718) and the sixth best 1960 Topps football set ($8,192).

Other interesting items of note were a newly discovered 1893 Zimmer’s Baseball Game ( $25,152), a 1972 Topps Baseball 4th Series wax box (BBCE) that sold for $8,256, a 1973 Topps Baseball 2nd Series box (BBCE) which landed at $9,302 and a 1968 Topps football box ($15,427).
