I only have a raw mint Sam McDowell, and a raw vg-ex (no creases) Mel Stottlemyre. -- Brian Powell

I collect them however I can get them! Focusing on completion more than quality at this point.

I still need both McDowell and Stottlemyre if you're willing to part with them! Relatively new to this site. Let me see if I can figure out how to PM you.

Thanks,

Brian

Raw.

Finally finished the 68 Topps Baseball set, receiving the Ryan and # 490 New Year’s Eve. Most of the stars range from poor/fair to very good condition; the rest would average vg/ex. I only need two cards to complete my 1967 1-533 run and two others to complete my 1969 baseball set. Apart from that, it’s a matter of completing the insert sets for 1967, 68, 70, and 71.

One final pursuit is the 1969 Topps Stamp Album set. I am missing the Bobby Tolan to finish my Reds album, plus I need the albums for the Tigers and Twins with all of the stamps inside. eBay is ridiculous in terms of pricing for these two albums and the Tolan hasn’t appeared as a single stamp as of yet.

Happy New Year as well as collecting!

I love a medium size challenge and started my 3rd 1965 set…….and only 75 more to go……..

Working on a 1965 set, willing to get any card in PSA/SGC 6 or higher at the right price, but want all the HOFers and key cards graded. Rest in roughly Ex-Mt raw. Also, I need duplicates of the White Sox cards, because I will keep all my graded examples but want a full set to offer up for sale at some point. So, 598 cards in the set, but I need 628.

-Have 355/598 different cards.
-Have 358/628 accounting for White Sox duplicates.
-I'm perfectly happy with the condition of 205/358.
-I would upgrade 101/358 if the right opportunity came along, but they're pretty good.
-52/358 need to be upgraded.

Just picked up the Mays in SGC 6 though! Quick video on the progress and the Mays here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRV7a53YBTk.

Keep it up everyone!

For some reason I decided I needed a complete run of Red Man sets 1952-1955
I've completed 1954 and with a dozen cards on their way to me I'm just 3 cards short of a 1953 set.
I'm doing them without tabs and pretty open on condition as long as they look good
I plan to have all the sets in one binder. Since they all look the same from the front I've printed out the advertising signs from each year and put them in to separate the years.
I'll start tackling the 1955 set soon. I only have about five cards right now.
