Set Collectors - Report in your progress!

[Tere1071]

Earlier this month I finished my 1971 Topps Baseball Coin set. Now, since I'm reliving my collecting childhood days 1970-1975, I've started collecting Topps Football from 1970 and 1971 in lesser condition. When those are done, I'd like to do a 1-263 run of the 1972 Football. One day, I'll work on the basketball sets for 1970, 71, and 72.

Happy collecting!

I am down to 29 cards in my 1952 Topps set. I am focusing on centering and new certifications. I put a complete set together 8 years ago with an average grade of 6.5. This new set will average out at about 5.5 and will far surpass my old set. Those PSA grading standards are tough these days.

John, it is crazy. I need three high numbers and 26 low numbers. Most of the low numbers are from 80-270.

That is crazy...good luck as you finish, outstanding accomplishment! I've toyed with the idea for years and never had the nerves to do it.

Got the last card for my 1964 Topps Baseball set. Not a real hard set to finish although the last card took a month to arrive after purchasing it. Now onto the 1965 set which I'll hopefully finish soon.

My currently goal is plowing through the 1939 Play Ball set
I tend to do things orderly, as in nine pocket sheet by nine pocket. I complete one page, then move on to the next. I'm now seven pages complete except for the DiMaggio towards the 13 pages needed for the low numbers. Luckily there are only a couple HOFers in my way, Paul Warner, Chuck Klein and Earl Averill. I may need to hold off on the Ted Williams rookie for a bit, but the rest of the set i anticipate having done before Christmas

I'm working on the 64 set as well. Wanted to get a Mantle or Rose at the National but those prices were all over the place (saw a Raw Mantle with an asking price of $900!!!) so I decided to go after others in the set.
