Budget now dictates what I'm willing to collect. The cards that I'm looking to upgrade are: miscuts, tilt/diamond cuts, and creases. Some sets are pretty much "locked-in"
My 53 Bowman Color is in vg-ex overall, mostly due to centering. The funds aren't there for upgrades.
1967 p-vg/ex and 1968 Topps Baseball f- vg/ex- too many creased cards to fully upgrade
1969 Topps Baseball- g-vg (miscuts and creases) slowly upgrading it to vg to vg-ex condition
1970 Topps Baseball vg/ex- there are centering issues, and the Bench and Ryan are in vg condition
1971 Topps Baseball ex-mint overall. I'm upgrading the stars and hard to find commons that are centered in ex-mint condition. This set is my priority.
1972 Topps Baseball vg-ex+ to ex-mint. #695 Carew in in vg/ex condition and a number of the high numbers are off-centered or have a slight tilt.
1973 Topps Baseball vg-ex to ex-mint overall, Schmidt rookie is SGC 4.5.
1974 Topps Baseball ex-mint, need to upgrade the Yankees team card and one checklist.
1975 Topps Baseball ex-mint, Ryan is in ex condition.
I've begun to collect the 1970 and 71 Topps Football sets. A number of the cards have a small pinhole with sharp corners. I would like to collect the stars in vg condition without creases or miscuts.
Off to work now. Willing to trade to complete the football sets.
