Admiring a couple of sets.
 

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>I know some here don't like the registry sets and all that happens with them, but I just want to point out the fun I had looking through this set in the PSA Registry:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.psacard.com/set%5Fregistry/display_cards.chtml?rsetid=16848&alltime=yes&rank= 1&tied=0&requesttimeout=9999" target="_blank">D304 Set</a> <br /><br />I especially apprecaite the scans. Wow. That Wagner and Lajoie cards in particular are absolutely amazing. <br /><br />Out of the 25 cards in his set, only 3 are not the highest graded cards by PSA. The Wagner, Mathewson, Lajoie, Cobb are all PSA 8s.<br /><br />To me, this is what makes the PSA Registry useful and enjoyable. <br /><br /><br />Not to be outdone, some sets in the SGC Registry sets are incredible too. One that I particular liked is the 1909 Philadelphia Caramel (E95) - Scott's Philly Caramels. He's got scans of every card...thank you!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sgccardregistry.com/index.asp?action=3&setcategory=1&setid=223&usetid= 1449" target="_blank">1909 Philadelpha Caramel Scott's set</a> <br /><br />It really was a lot of fun looking through these two sets.

Posted By: <b>Scott Mosley</b><p>cmoking,<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment on my E95 set. It was put together/acquired long before there was such a thing as a set registry. I'm honestly not big on the set registry as a competition but enjoy sharing the scans with fellow collectors such as yourself.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Scott

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>And that e98 set! WOW!!!!!<br /><br />It has to be the nicest. I'm surprised you haven't decreased the condition of the set by drooling on it.<br /><br />Rob

Posted By: <b>nbrazil</b><p>unfortunately, not a lot of the PSA registry folks posts scans of their cards...especially the "big time" registry collectors. but, when someone does...it's a worthwhile exhibition.

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>I agree with nbrazil...sets without scans are just numbers. sets with scans make the registry worthwhile.

Posted By: <b>Scott Mosley</b><p>You hit upon the exact reason why I decided that I'd better have my E98 and E95 sets slabbed... to save me from myself and any possible damage I might cause by oogling them <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Thanks again for the kind words.

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>Scott, can you share with us how you put together your sets? How long ago was it? Did they come as a set, or did you put them together card by card?

Posted By: <b>Scott Mosley</b><p>Cmoking,<br /><br />In the mid 1970s, before the hobby took off, my father and I were lucky enough to acquire two complete E95 sets (no doubles) and the complete E98 set (with only one double) which had been neatly stored away in empty Cigarette Packs.<br /><br />I've paid my collecting "dues" by piecing together other sets but we were just plain lucky on these.<br /><br />If you are curious, the other E95 set was in nearly identical condition and was sold off in a Sothebys auction back in the early 1990s.<br /><br />Scott

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>Thanks Scott. I spent a good 30 minutes looking through your site. Very nice!<br /><br />I also found another set in the PSA Registry set that I admire <br /><br /><a href="http://www.psacard.com/set%5Fregistry/display_cards.chtml?rsetid=2997&alltime=no&rank=1& tied=0&requesttimeout=9999" target="_blank">T206 HOFer set</a> <br /><br />Great scans of great cards. Is this the guy who used to be Dan Patrick's partner at ESPN (forget his name).
