T206 - 206/520 advancing slowly, glaciers move faster

1948/49 Leaf Baseball - Complete
1954 Red Heart - Complete

1940 Superman- Complete
1966 Batman (Black Bat) - Complete

The hunt is on, especially with prices going up, and my spending money is not matching the pace.

Completing the Leaf set is quite an accomplishment. I have completed the non-short prints and have a little less than half the short prints, but I doubt I will ever be able to afford a Paige to actually complete the set.

45/48 now on the '48 Bowman. Just three commons left.

Seems strange having a set that fits in your hip pocket

While I was working on it I kept posting on here that I was looking for the corner of a Paige to complete the set. Ironically enough, mired in the back pages of a Sunday Heritage sale, I was able to buy a borderless Paige, technically, everything EXCEPT the corners. My pockets are not deep, and I was able to pick it up for less than $900, but still had to sleep in the garage for a couple of weeks.

Maybe I can find the missing borders some day and buy them so I at least have part of a Paige.

The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a slab containing just the borders graded AUTHENTIC out there somewhere!

1953 topps (need only 1: Willie Mays and I pick it up on the 20th from a dealer friend who hooked me up with an unbelievable price. He is even taking a loss. Man it is great to have awesome friends!)

1954 Red Heart (need only 1: Roy McMillan)

1964 topps (need 50: hoping to put a major dent at that card show in 2 1/2 weeks

'48 Bowman set is complete.

Was glad to get the Musial finally in hand....one of those slabbed 2s (SGC) that's the typical "what is wrong with this". When you know they saw something, but I have tilted at every angle and can't see anything wrong with the surface, and otherwise it's a 3.5 or 4

At least it has that eye appeal regardless *shrug*
