Just found this thread, and will follow it with interest daily. Indeed it is great to see Phil posting, as he is a big part of how I finished my set. I love this set, front and back, start to finish.

As you'll notice it's off-center. When I first started assembling this set, I didn't care about centering as long as it wasn't miscut. While I still have a preference for sharp corners, I try to upgrade with cards that are around 70/30. The bigger cards, Mantle and Berra will have to remain off-center.

These threads are awesome. Thank all of you who post card pics in them. I still have the first 50s card I ever bought 35+ years ago. Near the end of the month I will be able to post it in this thread.

Where do wax boxes and uncut sheets and panels fit in the thread?

I have this set, but never studied it by name since the names are on the back of the card only. I am not sure how this player pronounces his last name. But, a few weeks ago, my wife and I had a dinner at a new place and it wasn't particularly good. While we were eating, she asked me how I liked my name. I said "It rhymes with Harry Chiti" (If Chiti is pronounced like it rymes with how my food tasted..)
Apologies to jump in late and break up the sequential order with a comment on a card earlier in the run, but I got a kick out of seeing that name. I'll keep an eye going forward and if it needs some additional cards, I go get it out of the safe and start posting. I know that I have a handful of granded cards - mostly in the 4-6 range but I do have a PSA 8 Rizzuto. My mantle is a 5.5. Really awesome thread. It will give me an excuse to look at the cards and go through the 54 as well!
