Posted By: <b>Jim Crandell</b><p>Thanks Jay--that was the toughest of the "Big 3" to put together in PSA 8 or better. If it wasn't for Mike Rakosi--The King of Vintage Basketball--I never could have done it.<br /><br />Jim

Posted By: <b>Dylan</b><p>Id sure like to have Spence's N28's set which is all 8's with two 9's. Second finest current T206 set behind Louchios untouchable set<br />As for N172 no one has taken a serious run at it with the psa set registry. Though there is a very impressive collection with the sgc registry.

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>several T206 8's & 9's that reside in Spence's set came from me...he was an obsolute gentleman to deal with, real class act.

Posted By: <b>Misunderestimated (Brian H.)</b><p>Happy to see that no one bashed these guys -- when I saw the thread I feared the worst. I want to commend them both. I have made trades with Don Spence and he was a pleasure to deal with. <br />
