I am not a set collector, but I am working on the 1951 Topps Blue Back set. I got a bunch of cards from someone whose husband died, and it seemed like he was trying to put together the set. I felt obligated to finish this journey for someone I never met.

Today the following from eBay to add to my 1951 Topps Blue Back set. These are getting harder to find and more expensive. They are not perfect and most have surface wrinkles and a few have creases, but the color is good and no paper loss. Four of these are new to my collection and two are upgrades. If anyone has extras, I would be willing to trade for them! I am at 25/52, but still need upgrades on almost all of them.





Below is the Flickr of the cards I have so far. My goal is to have all of them in SGC 4 or higher grades at the end.

Feeling accomplished today.

Took me almost five years, but I filled the final spot in my mid-grade 1952 Bowman set today.

The honor went to Johnny Pesky. Here's a pic of me filling the final hole in the binder. I'll organize some pics of the "good stuff" and post them soon.

Haha. OK, that's fair. I agree that Feller and Campanella qualify as "good stuff". I guess those early 50's sets have so many good players, it's easy to take them for granted.

(Case in point, page 1 in the set binder has HOFers Berra, Minoso, Reese and Robin Roberts all in the first nine cards, and Bobby Thompson also makes an appearance at card #2 with the back of his card describing the "shot heard 'round the world" as it was printed the spring after that game. Great set.)

I'm working on a PSA graded 1960 Leaf set. I just picked up a #96 Kucks and that leave me three from finishing the set. I still need #75 Culp, #85 Stigman and #101 Noren.
