Hey Mike, just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread, it’s fun watching other collectors complete their projects.
I’m still working (slowly) on my first binder set...a mostly EX condition raw 1952 Bowman. I’ve been at it for a couple years, and am about 75% of the way there.
There’s something special about seeing an entire set coming together in a binder card by card. While most of my set is raw, i’m Picking up the higher dollar cards graded...just because I want to ensure authenticity. But I’m still including them in four pocket pages at the back of my binder (and inserting reprints in their normal spot in raw pages).
I’ll be looking forward to watching your progress. Oh, and as a big Royals fan, I can’t think of a better card to start your set with than George Brett
