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*

About 3 week ago I started to collect a 71 Topps baseball set from scratch. It's going to be for fun which means that the majority of the cards will be in vg/ex to excellent condition; the only caveats will be no creases or surface wear and unslabbed. Corners? Well, nothing rounded but if there's white present that's fine with me.

So far I've gotten 73 of the high numbers, including the Allen and Baker/Baylor. Star-wise, I 've picked up the Fingers, Carew, Morgan, Ted Williams, Aaron, Yaz, Palmer, and Mays. Next will be the Clemente in vg/ex and whichever stars I can get in the $5-20 range until the funds run out once again.

Lots of great set updates...405/407 Ethan on 52's is unreal...


Just WAY over spent on #473 Orioles team card to complete 1964 Topps set...stoked to have that one DONE.

Down to needing 212 cards to complete the 1960's Topps...getting close.

Well, my 1954 Red Heart set is complete and in a most unexpected way.

Today in my mail was this card with a note that it was a gift! This was from a board member here that I have never met!

There are ALOT of great, kind and generous people out there. Too often we let loud voices tell us otherwise.
What a blessing!

An update, as of this morning I am down to 29 cards to complete my 71 Topps Baseball set. I still need the Munson, Carlton, Bench, Seaver, Killebrew, and B. Robinson as the major stars to mention a few needs. Mainly, I wanted to mention two members of Net54 who have helped me tremendously in putting this set together: Brian Noll and Rich McQuillan, who were responsible for about 85% of the cards that I now have. They were fantastic in their communications, fairness, and the quality of the cards that I received from them. Tim Connoy is sending me a few singles and I had a great conversation with Tod Sloan, who I hope to pick up some cards from for upgrades as well as singles for my next project- a 1971 Topps Football set! The assistance, information, visuals of other collector's items, and comradery all make Net54 a great place to be a participant. Thank you to all!

My son and I went to a card show this weekend and I was able to put a sizable dent in the cards needed to complete my 1961 Topps baseball set. I'm down to needing just 17 more cards to complete the set. Only 10 HN's. Hopefully I'll have this set done this summer, depending on shows available.
