Thanks to rocuan for the Corsair Trio card below...that leaves me needing only the Mantle All-Star to complete my set...if anyone has a nicely centered example in Excellent or better condition, please let me know!

How has it been collecting the '54 topps set? It looks like a great set to put together. Lots of colorful and beautiful cards. I am thinking PSA 7 or better. Which I am sure will end up being all 7's! Is centering a major issue in the 54 set?

I find centering to be a really big issue on that set especially on the Banks Rookie.

So excited...
 
I am awaiting delivery of the last card I need for my '59 Topps set...can't wait!!!

WooHoo!!! 1959 Topps Baseball...D.O.N.E.!!!
 
Just received the last card I needed for this set. I paid a lot of attention to picking up nicely centered examples of each card and the average condition would be EX/EX-MT or better. Thanks to all who followed me on my journey or helped me along the way. Still working on my 1954 and 1956 Topps sets so be sure to keep up with those projects, too!

Congrats Matt. This was the first Topps set I finished. Started in 59 and finished it later ( high #s)in the late 60s. As a result it is my personal favorite.

Now you need the variations :)

Congrats! I've got a ways to go with mine. That Mantle looks very nice!

Way to go Matt....Sadly my set has been stalled at 34 to go for a few months (Damn T206s:D)

Congrats Matt!! It's been a pleasure watching you share the building of this set with all of us. What a nice feeling when you finally complete it. Great job on a great set!
