Gus Landt Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I've been watching that complete graded set of these stickers on eBay the past few months. I'm super tempted to crack a box or two of these stickers to send off for grading. Has anyone here had these stickers graded? I'm wondering what kind of grades I could expect from opening packs. I imagine they'd have to be pretty high to compare to the cost of leaving the box sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makeminemarvel Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Dave Hornish blogs on all things Topps and I don't think this has been posted. Probably way more info than all but a few are interested in: The Topps Archives: 1975 Topps Comic Book Heroes MAY1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they'd have to be pretty high to compare to the cost of leaving the box sealed. Current state of the post bubble market - at PSA10 varying levels of profit can be made depending on the sticker. PSA9 for most stickers the grading + round trip shipping expenses will syphon off most or all profit. CGC9.5 falls closer to PSA9 than 10 in terms of current selling rates and collector perception. It is critical to note the average sticker ripped from one if these packs will be a PSA 6 or 7, with one PSA8 perhaps every other pack. A clean fresh box if one is very lucky will yield 4-5 PSA9 and perhaps 1-2 PSA10 although getting zero 10s is more likely. My opinion worth far more sealed due the rarity. If packs look nice get the packs themselves graded/slabbed Edited June 9, 2023 by MAR1979 Subby1938 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post the1Luder Posted July 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2023 So much awesome information in this thread that helped me with my collection of this set. I don't have any of the uncut sheets/information to contribute, but did pickup a few oddball and what seems to be printer waste that I've never come across (no reason to believe it's not legit, but maybe someone can shed some light) so thought I'd share. Printed on 1975 Topps Football backs 1974 Marvel, 1975 Topps Not stickers and not die cut Color registration is way off so probably test prints on new plates/press Looks to be handcut and a terrible job at that Terrible condition so maybe it was cut from a tossed out test sheet All **, at least the ones that are visible Purchased from Connecticut (don't know if they did any printing there for this set) comic_memories, MAY1979, Subby1938 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subby1938 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I was wondering if anyone could help me source the Sub-Mariner sticker from Australia made by Scanlens. From what I’ve been able to find these versions don’t say “ printed in USA “ on them . The other sticker I’m after is 1975/75 test . Never seen a picture of one any help would be amazing .
