Starting a new project again...
 
Anyone ever decided to do a set again? Well, I didn't complete it the first time before having to sell it because of the pandemic. I was only about halfway done with this set as I had roughly 300-310 different cards, including many of the stars. So I've decided to start my 1962 Topps set again (also just started another 1958 Topps set that I was nearly finished with before having to sell during the pandemic). These aren't in the greatest shape, but still in nice condition.

Also, if you have any 62s or 58s, let me know. I'd be glad to work out some type of deal (whether trade or buy). Thanks for the look.

These were my first 4 pickups.

Then I got this from Net54 member bradmar, who lives less than an hour from me.

And I picked this one up yesterday at the LCS.

Oh yes, many times I have "started again"...I had 3 1969 Topps sets...set out to do a 2nd one and then cleaned up a third as I had so many doubles upgrading. It's funny, I ended up looking at my VG set (the first 2 were EXNM) as those cards were loved and on the journey with me longer, haha. I've sold a few sets (I collect cars too, so sometimes it's nice to build, then set break and reinvest) only to now rebuild (DONE selling). My 62 and 58 sets are the first i've done, but 60, 61, 63, 64, 67....I've done twice...65 and 66 i've done three times now. Currently I am working on a second 67 set as I ended up with so many extra high numbers I just kept going. That will be the 3rd time I've built that set.

BTW...the 62 Gibson wasn't my last 62 card, but dang close. At the time there was only a couple on ebay, high priced psa cards...took forever to finally win a bid. TOUGH CARD! Some tough SP 62 cards...


Good luck! I really enjoyed putting the 58 together...

That makes me feel better I have my second '53 Topps set, and I am working on '54 Topps set #2. All others that are in progress are the first time.

What condition are you looking for with the 58's and 62's.
