So will you do a PSA set registry? I eventually plan to even if many of the low commons get a 3-4 and high's get a 1.

I'm not planning to. Since every single low # common is raw (and many would be grade 2-3), just going to leave them alone.

The registry competition does seem fun. But that would mean effort

I hear you. I will break this up into stages. Grade the highs, HoF's, then maybe do by series.

I also will evaluate buying graded ones versus submitting mine as I like having everything in a binder.

I have a full 67 set and about 200 graded ones. I rarely lug the boxes down to look at the cards: 9 out of 10 times I reach for the binder.

This has come to a halt lately at 335/407.

When it comes to all those high numbers, seeing a possible "lifetime" project after all! Now that I managed to get the rest of the big cards, it makes you feel more impatient to have the whole set.

But I can't stomach paying triple the going rate for BIN leftovers

Naturally after the prior post, managed to get a few acceptable deals on small lots and singles of high number commons/minors.

Feeling a little closer now

352/407

A shopping spree with ebay bucks during this month.

One away from being past the halfway point for the high numbers!

358/407
