WOW! Really nice! Unless I'm missing something that is a gradeable 1971 Topps as you can find!!!

A high number and a short print to boot That's a pair that beats a full house!

never see 71's that nice.

If memory serves, Metsman doesn't get his cards graded which is pretty much like me. I don't get cards graded because I'm afraid to let strangers handle them out of my sight. But high grade 1971s are in HUGE demand if you get a 9 or above. There are well papered collectors that pay huge money in their quest for a 1971 set graded PSA 9 or above. And this holds true for PSA only because they have a population number for all the cards they grade so collectors know how scarce certain cards are.

To illustrate this insanity my brother broke up a 1971 Topps set and found a Manny Sanguillen that he sent into PSA. He got a 9 and sold it for nearly $500. That was more than he sold his SGC 7.5 Garvey RC for Imagine what Metsman's Rich Allen would go for if it got a PSA 9? Many thousands for sure!

PSA lists a 9 on their site at $1150. BTST, Claude Raymond is at $1800 in a 9. Might be his zipper's down.

I actually thought the Allen would be higher but that figure is 10X high book.

LMAO!! I forgot all about Claude Raymond and the zipper open. You'll get a kick out of this and the video backstory on it.

Strange but true: Claude Raymond caught by Topps with his zipper undone

In 1966, The Topps Company issued trading card number 586 of Houston Astros relief pitcher Claude Raymond. The photo shows Claude with his pants unzipped.
