Set looks great, love the pic! Congrats! You need the 54 Bowmans in the same binder! Haha...

Look forward to tracking your 53s on the set thread...I'm right there with you, I'm getting close.


Question...did you put in reprints for your graded cards or just left holes? I do reprints and have fun with hit. My Aaron, Kaline, Banks, and Mays are graded as well...

I decided to complete a set of 1968-1972 Fleer Cloth Patches. Something a little different. I did not try to get all the variations, just the 2 types for each team.

My first purchase was for 49 patches. 2 for each of the 24 main teams and a MLB Logo patch. It took me 10 weeks to pick up the last 7 I wanted: 2 patches for the Seattle Pilots and 2 for the Washington Senators. Also picked up the other 3 MLB Logo variations.

Some of these are high priced! My total cost was $338.07. $18.15 of that was shipping. About $6.00 per patch on average. Does not include sales tax.

Have about a dozen duplicates that I hope to sell for a small profit to offset some of the cost.

Mike

Thanks, John. No plans to do the Bowman sets yet but if I live long enough who knows! I have plans to add reprints to the binders to fill the holes for my graded / cased cards but I haven’t done it yet. It’s on the list lol

With the arrival of Mr. Jackson today (Thanks Doug Goodman) I am now down to needing only 9 to complete my 52 Topps set.

I still need Russ Meyer, Bob Kelly, Bob Cain, John Kucab, Jim Turner, Bob Schultz and the big 3 in Campy, Wilhelm and Mathews.
The last 3 are going to be huge, money wise, but I'll keep looking hoping to get lucky.

Even at this point in the market....since one of them isn't the Mantle, '52 set completion can always be:
