I’m not old enough to have open these in packs, but the issue contained a decade later. Never seemed to get the Ellis Burks and Mike Greenwells, but some other teams semi-stars! |

I went through the set and updated my accounting based on a bunch of upgrades and a reconsidering of what I need to update based on what I've found with condition on these cards.
The good news is that I only have 10 cards left I really HAVE to upgrade. 8 missing (1.2%) 10 upgrades (1.5%) Total spent on binder set: $301.92 Total Reclaimed: $49.58 Total Spent on Graded: $31.02 TTM Successes: 7 |

Man, I had forgotten about this thread. Glad I come across it again. Enjoyed catching up and congrats on almost being done.
I've started a 1957 Topps set. Only have about 275, but I'm going to need probably 25-30 upgrades (creases). |

I'm going to work on '75 Topps next. How's the '57 set going? I have stayed away from older sets so far based on the fact that cards are either going to be pricey and/or of a condition I'd not be thrilled about. Still, some of those sets are awfully pretty! |
A few more:
1 missing (Murphy/Cerone RC) and two upgrades (492 Rookie OF and 546 Earl Weaver). http://baseball-trivia-game.com/77-topps/7-6-2020.jpg 309 Boston Red Sox CL 387 New York Yankees CL 473 Rookie OF Andre Dawson $11.80 delivered. 1 missing (0.1%) 0 upgrades (0.0%) Total spent on binder set: $341.62 Total Reclaimed: $49.58 Total Spent on Graded: $31.02 TTM Successes: 7 |

I bought my PSA 8 graded copy in 2016 for $21.99. How the mighty have fallen. A quick and sudden decline phase cursed Murph’s HOF chances, sadly. |

So, that wraps this one up! The set is now complete with no more upgrades.
Total time spent on the project was just under 7 months. Total spent on the set is....probably more than it's worth. |
It feels annoyingly fitting that the last card to complete this Red Sox fan's set was the Yankees checklist. :eek:
