Larry, I love your set, there is nothing like a well loved set that you can handle and enjoy. Your posts about building it helped inspire me to go after the set myself. I trully thank you for that, it was fun to see your journey on building it.

Here is a sample of my 1952 Bowman larges:

Holy cow, Mike, please stop!! Just kidding...those are really nice!! Thanks for sharing. Maybe someday I will be able to build a set like that. Is your entire set graded??

I also give Larry BIG kudos. He is an inspiration!

I didn't originally intend to go for a graded set, but I liked the set so much and I started looking at the populations, and the set registry and decided to go for the whole set in psa. I'm probably about 35 to 40 cards short of a graded set but I have all the stars and almost all the sp's. I was surprised that there are only 10 complete sets on the psa registry. I've never done a registry set and don't know if I'll put this on there when complete but it's something I will consider. If you decide to go for it I would say it's a fun journey and at only 144 cards it's a good size where you feel you are always making progress.
