I just ( 7/4/18 ) completed my 1952 topps set, been collecting for longer than I can remember. I bought my first ones as a kid in 1953 , Im now in the inventory phase to make sure my books are correct. lots are PSA Graded , but not all. So ill start to grade the non graded ones, and keep on working the set, Im over 70 years old now, Lived in Chicago my whole life, I was at game 4, when My Cubs won the World series, and now my set is complete , Time for a beer... :-) :)

I like so many know where my childhood cards are and there about 12-15 ft underground in a dump.

Congrats! Let's see some highlights.
65 years! You are a true collector. Congratulations and I hope viewing the set gives you as much pleasure as I'm sure the World Series victory did.

Congratulations! Great accomplishment. I am down to eight cards to finish mine. Can’t wait to finish, but am trying to be patient and find them at price I want to pay.

Congrats! I’m with some of the others and would enjoy seeing some of the cards. Thanks for sharing your accomplishment.
With only 1 post, I assume Cap just wanted to share his story and nothing more?
I'd also really like to see some pics/scans if possible?
Great accomplishment nonetheless! :)

Looks like he has not even been back to the board ( at least signed in) to review all of his congratulatory comments.
