I would be interested in seeing a list of all the Reds cards you had.
I found a few 60's Reds, nothing from your list.

Do you have the #32 Sophomore Stalwarts.

There is no telling how much someone is will to pay for a gem mint 10 graded card. The higher profile the player, the bigger the premium people will pay.

Take this 1987 Fleer Larkin RC for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1987-Fleer-204-Barry-Larkin-PSA-10-GEM-MINT-rookie-card-/200716336784?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item2ebba03e90#ht_500wt_1182

It sold for $108. Book value is $10, typical sell value for an ungraded card is a couple bucks. So it ended up selling for almost 11x the BV and while he's a HOFer he isn't nearly of the same status as Jerry Rice.

The book value on the Rice RC is $60 so it doesn't surprise me at all that a 10 would sell for $2k+.

I do. Do you have either the Brooks Lawrence or Don Newcombe? If so, what condition are they? They are the two cards I currently have that are a little below my condition standard for the set.

When you were going through someone else's stack of cards, you seperated them into 2 piles... "need it" and "got it"

Well you are of no use to me. :)

Got any other years? The only other vintage Reds I have are a few Nuxhall's and two from the 1958 set (Jerry Lynch and I can't remember the other, picked them up for $2/each in PHX).

What condition are they in? Sharp corners, creases, centered, etc?

Center and handled/slightly worn corners. I'm not your mint graded guy.

I don't care about mint, I just like to stay above EX if possible.

How does your Hobie compare to this one:

Hobie is nicer, McMillan is slightly worse.

Frank Robinson, Bill Henry, and Whitey Lockman are the ones I have duplicates of. The Whitey Lockman has a fold in a corner but the other two are in decent shape. When the girl gets home I will get some pics for you.

If you are interested in selling, how much would you want for them?

I have had this card for awhile. I was thinking about giving it away, or just throwing it away. Seems useless.
