Default I did it! 1957 complete!!

I just finished my favorite set in NM+ with decent centering throughout. With maybe 25 cards to upgrade still it will be my best set I've ever built.

For me, the last 10 cards I needed were mostly Braves who won the championship that year. Also, series 1 in high grade raw is just as hard as series 3.

Now I'm on to 1959, 1961, and 1963 plus I need about 100 cards to upgrade my 1966 set to strong exmt/nm.

Happy Hunting!
Scott

Congrats Scott, 57 is my favorite set of the 50s, although 59 is a sentimental favorite. Why no 60 and 62 ?

Edit-- never mind on 60, do not read far enough

Scott,

Congrats! Well done...always refreshing to complete a set....although in a sense you are never really done, given the upgrades.

I love 1962 and have about 35% of it. I guess those green tint variations intimidate me.

One day, it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

Well, I'm not finished with the master set yet. I have Lucky Penny, 3 of the 4 contest cards and only one checklist. I'll pick those up as the years go by and as decent deals present themselves. Those checklists are insane!

A mix. Mostly raw but they are really nice. The important cards, about 40, are graded. Most are 7s with a few high end 6s and a few nice 8s that are my favorites such as Johnny Podres and Ted Kluszewski.

Nice! One of my favorite sets. Working on PSA 7 Pirates Team Set from that year.

And have never seen the lucky penny before! That's awesome!

Here is a photo of the set with a few of my graded favorites. The Aaron I have wanted since I was 10 years old and this one has super deep dark ink coverage with no snow. Teddy Ballgame is the first one in my adult collection so I wanted that one to be super nice. Had a beat up 58 Williams back in the day. The Mantle is super tough to find centered and I'm happy with mine.

Thanks for all the encouragement!
Scott

Super Job, Scott


To have assembled such a highly graded set is truly remarkable!


What's your next goal?

I want to complete the entire Topps run from 1952 to 1973. Hey, it could happen! Anyway, with that said, I'm going after my favorites first, which include 1959, 1961, and 1963. I need to finish 1965 but I've never been inspired by that set.
