Retired,
high school history teacher, selling his personal card collection!
* I have numerous 1975 TOPPS 'STANDARD' & 'MINI' HIGH GRADE PSA cards (HALL OF FAME, STAR & Commons) listed on Ebay should this one not meet your criteria. Feel free to check them out!
____________
INFORMATION ABOUT THIS GRADED CARD:
This is a RECENTLY graded PSA card!! That should be a consideration when comparing to older PSA graded cards.
PSA GRADED CARDS ARE NOT EQUAL!
Why?
-
It my judgment that PSA's grading standards were a bit more lax 20 to
30 years ago, so a card that earned a PSA 8 or 9 in 1998 might not meet
that standard today. I have personally viewed more than my fair share
of questionable graded PSA cards via ebay and the PSA website over the
last few years.
- Older cases are more likely to have scratches on the front and/or back that aren't always noticeable in photos.
- The paper labels in older cases have a tendency to be noticeably warped.
- Recent PSA graded cards [within the last two years] have fugitive ink technology that includes bar codes and QR code on back.
-
Recent PSA graded cards [within the last two years] are photographed
[front & back] by PSA after being graded so buyers can verify on the
PSA website that the card sold matches the card that was originally
graded.

* Only 21 cards have graded higher for 1975 Topps #120 STEVE BUSBY!
This card is a HALF CENTURY [50 YEARS] old!!
*
If you are a buyer in your early 20s or have plans to bequeath this
purchase to your child, there is a good chance it could be a CENTURY old
artifact your family possesses at some point in time!!
[Please excuse my appeal to history, after all I did teach the subject for 28 years!]
The card pictured is the card you will receive!

OFFERS:
Ebay has a feature
that allows sellers to establish a minimum price for offers. If your
offer is under that minimum threshold ebay will automatically decline
the offer on my behalf.
If your offer is
above that 'minimum threshold' ebay will notify me and I will give it
some consideration. I reply to all offers for which the minimum
threshold is met. Sometimes I accept offers, but if not, I will reply
with a personal message.
SHIPPING:
The PSA encased card will be placed in a soft sleeve
and appropriately protected with protective wrap. It will be shipped
in a 7 X 5 X 3 cardboard box.
[I do my best to keep shipping costs to a minimum. I realize shipping costs can be a deterent to purchase.
I do my best to protect and secure cards as I would want them secured if I was the buyer.
Materials used:
* New 7 X 5 X 3 box
* Ultra Pro Graded Card Sleeve to prevent scratching
* Blue Poly Padded Waterproof Envelope
* Packing paper
* Liberal use of pack tape to seal box and its contents
I
am lucky to recover maybe 25 cents of the cost of these shipping
materials, more often then not I eat these costs as ebay includes
shipping & taxes when calculating their 13.5% fee charged to
sellers.
I am not looking for pity and/or
sympathy. I just want to be transparent with regard to shipping costs.
I am not a high volume professional baseball card shop that has the
luxury of offering FREE SHIPPING.
If you believe my shipping costs are too high please purchase your cards from a high volume seller.]
NO RETURNS - so please be certain before buying/bidding.
Feel free to contact me should you have questions or require more photos.
COMBINED SHIPPING:
I do offer combined shipping! If you purchase another graded card or more, I will only charge $1 more per added card.
