Since I haven't updated this thread in a while (just monthly pickup posts) within the past few months, including just 4 days ago, I have managed to pick up these highs which now brings my number down to 22 remaining. (all highs) I honestly never thought I'd be able to grab these cards in such a short period, but I guess I got lucky for the most part?

It's been slow numbers-wise over the past few months for my 1967 set build. I've only been able to add 40 cards since my last update in February, BUT many were HOFers so quality has certainly been there: Aaron, Banks, Brock, Drysdale, Cepeda, Ford, Killebrew, Mantle, F Robby, Stargell. I've also added 6 high #s and several leaders, teams, and the tough 7th series checklist. Count stands at 544/609. I need 65 cards and 34 are high #s. No surprise there!

I saw a decent looking PSA 1 Mantle on eBay last week for ~$35k or best offer so prices do seem to maybe be coming back down a little? I just don’t know. Decisions decisions.

Like you are with your Mantle, I am the same way when it comes to Mathews. If I want it, I am going to have give up something else in order to do so. Outside of Mathews, the next big cards for me are Campy, Wilhelm and Dickey. Once those are obtained, the rest should be much easier on the pocketbook. I still need Hal Greg, Randy Jackson, Bubba Church, Warren Hacker, Russ Meyer, Bob Hooper, Hal Jeffcoat, Bob Kelly, Bob Cain, Bob Del Greco, John Kucab, George Crowe, Cookie Lavagetto, Bob Thorpe, Billy Hoeft, Jim Turner, Ebba St Claire and Bob Schultz so I continue to keep my eyes open. It will be nice to someday say I have now completed it, but at the same time, I am going to enjoy the journey.

Great looking high numbers Dale, congrats on getting to 385/ 22 to go. I think you are catching the market at the right time and once you get as close as you are on this set, the completion bug bites and suddenly you end up pushing harder for completion.

I always fall to the "pushing harder" for completion... Really trying to stay patient as I close down some 50's sets...but it's not working well...haha

Thanks to a fellow net54 member I finally closed out the last card I needed for my 55 Topps set. I've had the set before, sold it to fund something else...saw the prices JUMP...now have it again and will be keeping it...
Last card should have been one of the first cards, I try not to save the Mantles or card like this for last...but so it goes sometimes. Stoked to have the Clemente back into my collection! (thanks Chris!)

With the card below, I am one card away from completing my 1977 Topps Set.
And that card is Gaylord Perry. Mr. Perry is on his way to my waiting hands and should be here by the end of the week! WOOT!!!! 659/660 with 660 on its way.
